Armalite AR10 (T) available, link inside

[Joeyhotfizzle]

Alright guys I have tried searching but nothing useful came up.

I'm contemplating about purchashing an AR10 TN, it's a special editon T. The barrel is sand blasted instead of being shiny and the forward part of the handguard has four rails on it. I know they are guaranteed 1MOA. How true is this claim? I will be reloading for this rifle so I can make some decently accurate ammo.

So what kind of groups are you having with this rifle, 1 MOA would make me happy for a gas gun.

Thanks guys,
Joseph

Hey bud,
Which model AR10 is it your looking at? The carbine or the rifle version? Be careful with the carbine version, there was a limited run that they had some problems with hence the limited run.

I have a 10T and it is sub-moa with my handloads

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

badkarma85, It's the rifle model. They have it in 20 and 24 inch. Also $2200.00 is a little too much even though these are "special editions" (military over runs) right?

CKA, thanks man. I have been reading and it sounds like these rifles are over gassed. Did you have to change/modify your gas block in order to fix this?

Thanks guys,
Joseph

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

I run a can on mine and it was overgassed to begin with. I added an adjustable gas block plus a carrier weight to mine. This has helped alot. BTW mine is easily submoa with handloads. The only factory match that I have shot through mine has been FGGM and TAP, this too was submoa....

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

Thanks ghostface, it's seems like you know a lot about AR10's. I will PM you more questions if I decide to buy one if you dont mind. Is $2200.00 too much? I know the regular T's were around $1800 before this AR craze.

Thanks,
Joseph

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

If it won't shoot sub MOA,, it sucks,..............if it's a "T".

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

$2200 is about what they are going for now with the Obama scare...

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

My old AR-10T was a shooter, shouldn't have sold her. Most of the time she was an easy .5-.75 MOA shooter, when the stars aligned she would print .3 MOA (168gr FGMM).

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

I have an AR10A4B I've owned for over 7 years. It came with the 20" heavy chrome-lined barrel. It has an adjustable 2-stage trigger and JP Enterprises free-floating hand guard.

This rifle is not a AR10(T), but here is what's interesting for you, Joeyhotfizzle. This rifle that didn't carry the Armalite MOA guarantee the AR10(T) does, shoots sub-MOA with my 175gr SMK's and I've done ragged 1-hole strings with Black Hills Red box 175gr.

Evidently, my flat-top non-(T) doesn't know it's an overachiever!

Bottom line: If a standard heavy barrel AR10 can shoot well, {and most shoot quite well,} have no fears Joeyhotfizzle, that a (T) model will meet Armalite's guarantee.

CKA: Thats a good lookin rig...SmokeRolls

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

thats a fair price considering it was in stock and ready to be shipped out. Ive noticed a lot of places marking up their firearms just because manufactures are running long back order times.

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

Congrats on the purchase! My AR-10T has the shinier SS 24" barrel and can shoot sub-MOA all day with Federal Gold Match. You're gonna love it.

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

Mine was more accurate then a SR25 that I had!

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

Thanks guys, hope mine will be a shooter.

Not affiliated with the site, just wanted to share the wealth. Mine should be here this Tuesday.

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

I can't believe they are in stock anywhere. If I wasn't in the middle of two builds I'd pick up one of those 24".

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

So bummed... Armalite lowers are banned in CA...

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

sorry, post deleted, didn't want to hijack the thread with my unrelated topic...

 

[Joeyhotfizzle]

Re: Armalite AR10 (T) accuracy

Damn, the 24" is sold out already!
