Armalite AR-10

Armalite AR-10 is a special rifle for sniper specialist with great accurancy. ArmaLite AR-10 has been developed within the fertile mind of ArmaLite's Chief Engineer, Eugene Stoner, in the late 1950s, the AR-15 has evolved into a family of super weapons serving the U.S. military and many of its allies for the last 35 years, including, but not limited to, the M-16, M-16A1, M-16A2, and the latest M-4.



AR-10 is offered in both .243 Winchester caliber and the original 7.62 x 51, also known as the .308 Winchester. ArmaLite offers the AR-10 in several different configurations. They have rifles built specifically for hunting, target, and social work. The version received by Gunblast for review in this article would serve well for all three purposes.

For an accurate, reliable, and well-built rifle that can reach out and penetrate both hard and soft targets at long range, the ArmaLite AR-10A2 can fill the need, with durability and fast repeat shots. The ArmaLite can also use modified military M-14 twenty-round magazines for a sustained rate-of-fire.
