So, I found a Armalite AR-10 for sale locally. I believe it is one of the A or B series rifles.
The one for sale is basically brand new. Guy is asking $800 as it comes from the factory. I'm having an issue finding reviews and I'm just looking to see if anyone has one they could give me some feedback on. Thanks!!

Would not hesitate at that price regardless of model. New DEF10 is about $1000 and the A/B series higher. DEF and A's do use P-Mags though so that is a plus for me. I have the AR10A and it has been very reliable and pretty accurate

A model uses SR25 mags.
B model uses modified M14 mags. If you reload, the B model provides more COL allowance. |

I prefer the B models with the Generation 2 magazines.

A and B designations are for mags only. All other things are the same. Same operating parts, just different receivers for the different mags.
At 800$, it's most likely a DEF10, could be A or B. Which require different mags, the B using more expensive mags. But they are more reliable once cleaned up of the factory oils, broken in a bit by hand cycling with a ruler, and they'll be good for thousands upon thousands of rounds as long as you maintain them. Anyways, ensure its a complete Armalite. Everything is marked except the trigger. I think in the DEF10, it's a standard GI trigger without Armalite specific markings. Receivers, bcg, and barrel should all be marked. If it checks good, buy that sucker. Damn good deal. |

If you don't buy it send me the seller's info.
It appears to have the Armalite 2-stage trigger so you get a bonus upgrade. A very good buy for $800. You can upgrade with a free-float rail or leave it stock. They're solid 500-600 yard shooters with match ammo (if you're aiming at a GI E-type target).

Buy buy buy!
I believe that's a B model that uses Armalite mags. That's one of the basic 16" models that's NOT the Defender series. Like above poster said, that's one of the good triggers. Very good package at that price. |

That's a B series factory gun. At $800 you better jump all over that thing. I have the same gun I paid almost $1200 for NIB a few years ago. One of the best AR-10 carbines you can have. I put an Aimpoint Pro on mine. Great shooter. Only problem right now is the B series mags are a little hard to find. Even Armalite has been out of stock on them for a while.

While it is somewhat annoying not to have a more common mag, the upside is that if you buy a few they will probably outlast you and the gun. One other thing to remember here is that this a .308. There are very few people on this planet outside the military who are going to be shooting up .308 ammo like .22 LR or even 5.56. I'd really like to know how many people actually wear out their 5.56 P-mags from shooting them to oblivion. I think this is one of those issues where the concept doesn't live up to the perception of reality for "most" of us. |

I've had the best luck in the EE, but I usually can only buy a couple at a time. Between that and .308, it's the rifle I own with the least amount of modification. With that said, it has an awesome trigger. I see no reason to change it. EDIT - I saw a few people above speak to the quality of the gen 2 magazines. They really are stout magazines. It sucks to pay more for them, but they will last a really long time! It hurts a little to think I can buy 3-4 5.56 mags for the price of one of them, but honestly, it's not like I'm burning through magazines anyway. At $800, if you can swing it, I would buy it right now! It's a basic rifle that is top quality. Is the seller adding a magazine? I'd assume if he has the rifle, he has some magazines. Try to pick up a few from him. |

I went and checked and even armalite is sold out of these mags, Hmmmmmm Im leaning towards a pass more and more. |

most of what you listed to upgrade shouldn't be a problem , rail choices are limited but there's a handful of nice one's out there to choose from. the trigger , stock , grip , safety , and the trigger guard are all ar15 compatible. the muzzle device will also be pretty common with a 5/8 x 24 thread pitch. the grip is a bit different and specific ones to the ar 10 are made but any ar15 grip will fit , same with the stock. any mil spec stock will fit but it won't collapse all the way closed , just like in the pic. again like the grips there are stocks that will collapse all the way on an 8" buffer tube. there should also be a handful of compatible charging handles , i use a bcm gunfighter charging handle. it seems like a nice rifle at a good price. there are lots of options in the 308 market nowadays like the small frame variants but that price is hard to walk away from. some more b series pron to help sway your decision to the dark side http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/1iviper/IMG_2423_zpszfa1fkyt.jpg Quote HistoryQuoted:

Here is a good video that explains the difference in the A and B series. Just a few differences. I do personally like the B series better. I think the feed angle is better and the B series allows someone who reloads the opportunity to have a longer overall length to work with.

BUT, literally the only difference between the DEF10 and other models is the trigger. It's a really nice trigger though. Comes with 2 or 3 mags new, but you'll still be way under once you get mags. Stalk armalite.com 762sass.com dsgarms.com and i hate to day it, but cheaper than dirt usually stocks them as well. Try impact guns, they used to stock them. The mags are out there. Try a SKU search. I think lone star defense has some 5 and 10rd mags |

The 2 stage match trigger is made of cast steel and you can tell by the color The A lower has a raised area from the mag catch down to the mag well opening and the mag well opening is at a steeper angle Quote HistoryQuoted:

Well I bit the bullet and picked up the rifle. Seller says 30rds or less down the pipe. It looks brand new. Now to find some mags.
Heck yea I thought this was the $1000 model sold my Armalite, turns out the "B" model with the 2 stage trigger sells on their site for $1575. This was a total score!!! Yes, you did well. I have two "B's" now in 16" and 20"...great rifles. There's a well designed buffer system in there too. These are some of the softer shooting .308 AR's out there, even the 16". They are quite accurate too. Both of mine shoot Federal 168g Matchkings, Winchester ballistic tip 150g's, and others with easy 1-MOA...me being the occasional weak link. Enjoy that thing. |

Armalite should be putting out a bunch of mags in the next month on their website and out to distributors. Talked with them the other day. Keep an eye on their Facebook page and website. They said they would keep everyone up to date on when they would arrive.

Quote HistoryQuoted: most of what you listed to upgrade shouldn't be a problem , rail choices are limited but there's a handful of nice one's out there to choose from. the trigger , stock , grip , safety , and the trigger guard are all ar15 compatible. the muzzle device will also be pretty common with a 5/8 x 24 thread pitch. the grip is a bit different and specific ones to the ar 10 are made but any ar15 grip will fit , same with the stock. any mil spec stock will fit but it won't collapse all the way closed , just like in the pic. again like the grips there are stocks that will collapse all the way on an 8" buffer tube. there should also be a handful of compatible charging handles , i use a bcm gunfighter charging handle. it seems like a nice rifle at a good price. there are lots of options in the 308 market nowadays like the small frame variants but that price is hard to walk away from. some more b series pron to help sway your decision to the dark side http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/1iviper/IMG_2423_zpszfa1fkyt.jpg Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: looks like a nice old school b series at a good price is this your first 308 ar ? Yes it is. do a little reading about parts compatibility for 308 ar's , it's very different than with ar15's. if your looking to upgrade the rifle you might be limited in options. Yes that was my other concern, I plan to heavily upgrade this rifle. Trigger,stock, charging handle, rail system, pistol grip, safety, trigger guard, muzzle brake. I would be changing everything out and putting some nice glass on it and a suppressor in the future. it seems like a nice rifle at a good price. there are lots of options in the 308 market nowadays like the small frame variants but that price is hard to walk away from. some more b series pron to help sway your decision to the dark side http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/1iviper/IMG_2423_zpszfa1fkyt.jpg Can you provide the specs, I am putting together something very similar, and interested in the specs on the barrel and rail. Thanks! |
