I put a ARMALITE AR-10 Rifle, Model 10A2C (black) on lay-a-way and should have it in my hands in 60 days.
Specifications are: Model: A2 Carbine with Green or Black Furniture
Caliber: .308/7.62mm NATO
Barrel: 16" Double Lapped, Chrome Lined, Threaded 5/8x24
Rifling Twist: RH 1:11.25"
Muzzle Device: Flash Suppressor
Front Sight Base: A2 Front Sight Assembly
Rear Sight: .70/.195 Battle Sight
Upper Receiver: Forged A2
Trigger: Tactical Two Stage
Overall Length: 37.1"
Weight: 9 lbs.
Finish: Hard Anodized Aluminum, Manganese Phosphated Steel
Accuracy: 1.5 - 2 MOA
Included with Rifle: One 10 round Magazine, One 20 round Magazine, Sling, Black Case, Owners Manual, Limited Lifetime Warranty
I wanted a Vector V-51 Pistol but they're under a lawsuite by H&K and aren't producing them.
Vector Arms is no longer doing business. We have a few closeouts, limiteds to supplies on hand. All backorders for rifles, handguns and parts will be cancelled. We regret any inconvenience.
So I decided against the $200.00 decle fee from the government for a Short Barreled Rifle (10.5 inches) and against worring about crossing state lines with a SBR.
ACCESSORIES from Armalite are expensive. I know I want a short detachable scope, but what kind I don't know. I like the TA01B: 4x32 Trijicon ACOG® with Red Crosshair Full Illumination, but it's not cheap.
What do y'all recommend?

After more than 25 years of Air Force experience, I dont want another .223 in my hands.I think he ordered his chambered for 7.62mm. But, I can tell you that his new rifle will be sturdy and very easy to field strip and clean. I wish I had one for private use, or if they allowed me to bring one to Iraq, I would love to have one chambered for 7.62mm NATO even without the "burst" option (I only use the Semi function on my M16 or M4 anyways).

Glasses are a
sometimes issue.
Sometimes I need them and sometimes I don't. But mostly when I'm tired or right at dusk, do I need glasses.
I'm growing older every day.

IMHO, you are better off with the longer barrel... you lose a lot of FPS and range with a short barrel in .308 / 7.62x51N. The powder load is timed for the 18” to 24” barrels, even the surplus.

I think the dealer told me this one has the detachable handle, but I'm not sure.
I'll find out when I finish paying it off.

I have a ACOG TA01 NSN - the drop compensator is configured for a 62 gr. 5.56 - I use it for medium to long range tactical competion (0 - 500 yards) - it still works on the 69 gr. handloads that I use. What are you going to use this rifle for? If it’s for close quarters, go with a different reticle or even go with the TA11. Also, if you are serious about mounting an optic, go with a flat top upper.

Unlike SBRs, you can take a suppressor across state lines (so long as legal in both per FOPA regulations) _without_ asking the BATFE for permission.

After more than 25 years of Air Force experience, I dont want another .223 in my hands. I love my 223. If I need something stronger that's what a bolt action 30-06 is made for.

We produce this...
http://www.extremefirepower.com/pmrs.html
This is the Rapid Strike(tm) PMRS. We also do carbine versions of this rifle.
I recommend the Armalite AR10 over DPMS or Knights any day for an out of the box unit. Avoid Knights like the plague in any case.

I have an

but it's long, and it's heavy.

You have to know when to hold and when to fold (hide). You pick your time, not they pick yours.

This one, I like, but I've already made my purchase. What did that one cost you?

I’ve got an old Colt SP1 (made about 1970) just like they had when I went in (without the auto). No brass deflector, no forward assist. I love it.

Load it with an issue steel jacket round and it’ll drill a telephone pole.

Busting moving car engines is what I had in mine.
If it will penetrate railroad iron in the middle, I'll be happy.

It's really important that you send the AR-10 to a knowledgeable friend for a suitable breakin period. I'd (cough! cough!) be happy to do that fer ya...sometimes it takes months to get right. Years, I mean. Yeah, years. You never can tell with those things. Some of them, it takes decades...
Seriously, congratulations. I also would consider a slightly longer barrel but then I don't have to hump the thing over hill and dale. YMMV. And yeah, I'd be thinking about completing that purchase before 20 Jan. A new AWB is absolutely in the cards and any Dem who says otherwise is lying.
