Hi all, Hopefully some SME can give me some guidance on this question. Are there any other manufacturers, besides Armalite, that are making AR-10 upper receivers that are compatiable with the M14/M1A style magazines? Thanks for any info on this!

I can't find it in Armalite's tech notes on their site right now, but I thought it indicates the upper changed too to accommodate the SR25 pattern mags. I may be wrong.
Edit: I think I may have found it...maybe? http://www.armalite.com/images/Tech%20Notes/2015/TechNote101.pdf |

C&P from our large frame FAQs (link @ top of page) Magazines There are primarily two magazines styles for the .308 rifles, the original Armalite-Fairchild magazines used in the original AR-10s, then picked up by the KAC SR-25 (henceforth called the SR-25 Type) and the Modern Armalite AR-10 type which is a modified M-14 magazine. It should be pointed out RRA (and formerly Bushmaster) make rifles that use FAL magazines, and CMMG has a lower which uses G3 magazines. Armalite AR-10 type (used by Armalite, Noveske, Eagle Arms, Georgia Precision; capacities: 5, 10, 20, 25) SR-25 Type (used by DPMS, KAC, LaRue, POF, LWRC, JP Rifles, 1950s Armalites, Remington, Fulton-Armory; capacities: 4, 10, 19, 20) FAL Magzines (Metric or Inch pattern; used by Bushmaster, RRA; capacities: 5, 10, 20, 30) G3 Magazines (CMMG .308 Lower) |

Elk Creek Mfg, and one other 80% lower and upper. I lost my bookmarks on my phone, i think it was Elite Tactical Systems?
Elk creek Elite Tactical Elk creeks upper looks funny to me. Forward assist is part of the shell deflector. I don't like that. I'm not sure if elite tactical had uppers, or just the lowers |
