  • this rifle was way,waaaayyyy ahead of its time :)

  • Not to sound like some Learned Snot, but I have the luck (?!) to be an engineer AND a machinist, which is why I get off so much on the Armalite design. I'd make some radical changes, though........

  • ar15 is the same with the ar10 dustygamma. the only thing that made you think that it is better i think is because of the bigger 7.62x51 round. if only the us fallowed the british round using their version of intermediate round whhich is very comparable i think to the ak round. ithink the british round is a better all around round than d 5.56nato

  • The AR10 did not need a forward assist. The only reason why there was one on the M16A1 was mainly due to the wrong powder used, initially, in the 5.56 cartridge as well as the wrong type of lube supplied to the troops in the field

  • The main reason that the original M16s fouled/broke was the M16 was supposed use a different powder but i a cost cutting measure, the Govt. continued to use a dirtier pwoderthat functioned well in the M14

  • The AR-15 was based off of the AR-10...Not the other way around.

    The AR-10 was designed before, but produced massively in 1956.

    The AR-15 was designed in 1957. Most people thought a drop in fire power was a disgrace to the rifle, but it turned out to help it.

  • No way the M14 is the best! I'm a Marine and would take a M14 anyday!

  • I swear the original AR10 seems to have been better designed then the AR15 and modern AR10 which is actually a based on the AR15. Not to mention the Portuguese AR10 which was a copy of the original and improved over it's production.

  • Yeah like carbon fouling and increased part breakage from heat is just "internet opinion". I'm not saying the AR15 is bad I'm saying it could use some more improvements for military use; namely a gas piston system (mainly for carbines) and possible a better round.

  • How can the direct impingement system be flawed given the decades and millions of millions of rounds fired through across a number of conflicts and western governments. C'mon now. You know something more than those sending America to fight wars with equipment that won't get it done? You writing the checks for gear that is flawed? Let's use science, not internet opinions here bud.

  • Correction:AR-10 doesn't have free floating pin, but a smll spring over the anvil. Different than its little child-the 15. Too, in the bolt,you don't rotate the cam lock to insert, it fits only one way, unlike AR-15. Got both and verified the design claims. Also, the earlier AR-10 didn't have forward assist simply cos' the stronger spring systems of .308 chambering did not require it.
