Looks like a JT prototype Handguard is needed along with a low profile gas block to go where the FSB goes and then a Handguard retainer In front of that with a brace man prototype FSB to cap it all off and you would have a really accurate copy once someone molds up some ar10 grips . Or a prototype FSB and a bayonet adaptor pinned in front of it to hide the old notch of the FSB taper pin. JT , can you weld up the previous taper pin notches ? That would make this easy . |

Sorta, Armalite did a retroish kinda thing with brown furniture and the charging handle in the carry handle, but it was mostly an A2 style rifle playing dress up. Might hafta sell off one of my Armalite 10Bs, I like the looks of the Brownell's a little better. |

That is absolutely awesome! I do really hope they make the narrow AR10 style front sight base and ditch the AR15/M16 style that is shown in their pictures. That would make it a slam dunk. It's an NDS upper and lower with a BA (5.56) or a Faxon (7.62) barrel. If someone says, "Hey, want to buy my correct FSB?" the answer will be YES. Same with color correcting the furniture- either their current vendor will improve their offering, or someone else will. |

I'm curious if this is a legitimate reproduction or just a modern design made to look like an AR-10 to some extent or another. I'm very interested in the former, especially if they go the Portuguese route (which is one of the most refined AI variants), and even moreso the scope-compatible version, but I have no strong interest in the latter, especially at the price point someone suggested above. I'd hold out for an original on a rewelded AI lower in that case, or a parts kit (in the off-chance that I came across one for sale) and try to get a cut receiver rewelded or have a new one made. A poor facsimile based on a modern design holds no interest for me whatsoever. |

Quoted:
Its not a legitimate reproduction. It is not a Dutch pattern AR-10. It is a SR-25 pattern and not interchangeable with any Dutch or Hollywood parts. |
|
Quoted:
original stock will not fit because the original buffer diameter is way bigger. |

I think it's great
yeah, it's not exactly Dutch, but pretty close ...and guys on this forum will modify them to look even better

Which one of you I might build a carbine myself, if they start selling the upper and lower receivers and bolt carrier groups separately........ |

Quoted: How about an Original Colt type A or B stock stripped of it's green paint to reveal the brown bakelite? If so, looks wise, which style do you reccomend? I have an extra of each type, but both still retain over 95% of their original 601 green paint, and I would hate to strip off the green. Maybe I should trade one for a stock that has already been stripped. |

Quoted:
As far as the external appearance, many of us will work to make it look even MORE original. I know that I will spend as much on upgrades as I will on the base rifle - original handguards, original stock, original or exact copy grips, original style engraved markings, original style front sight base, and original style muzzle break. I'm sure they can do better on the FSB fairly easily. Furniture too. |

Hopefully the charging handle, furniture, and muzzle devices are also "starting points". I'd at least consider something that looked close enough to a legit Portuguese type that all I needed to do was change the handguard (I can understand why people would hesitate to try to produce those), although it'd be nice to see a rifle based on the actual AI AR-10 pattern, which is what I really want. I most likely will have to settle for an original pending sufficient funds, though.
Some accessories like the grenade sights and bayonets would be sweet as well, plus a version based on the carbine variant. |

I have a spare Portuguese muzzle device...and one of the raw (repro) FSB castings for a proto AR15...wonder if that would fit the lightweight version... I'll have to consider how it would look cut to 16" with a 607-style stock. Just for range fun! |

The AI AR-10 carbines themselves looked pretty cool. The carbine muzzle device is shorter than the Portuguese one or the similar version with the bayonet lug on the bottom. The reduced-diametre areas between the flash suppressor and the first grenade ring, between the first and second grenade rings, and between the second grenade ring and the full-diametre area to which the bayonet lug is attached are all a tad shorter, and the tapered area at the front end of the ring where the bayonet lug is located is virtually eliminate. The muzzle ring on the bayonets had to be set back accordingly.
