In my continuing effort to create a unique AR10, I sent  it's furniture to John Thomas
and had him paint it in his 'porto olive.

The furniture kit is lonestar handguard and grip, with an E type buttstock.

He did a super job as always and came back pretty quick (thanks John!)

So what does retroland think?

My inspiration was the picture of the Bernhardt presentation AR10 as seen in AR10er's book,
and originally was going to have it painted 601 green, but after talking to John, went to
the porto olive instead.  To me it looks completely brown, and reminds me of the original AR10B
brown.

I like it and wish Armalite still offered the "A2" upper.

What lower is that? Isn't Armalite banned in Kommiefornia?

I feel sad for you guys out there. California was at one time the place for import military firearms.

It's on an Aero Precision lower.  Armalite is banned via certain models
but not as a MFG.  if you look it has a mag lock and 10 Rd mag rivet, sigh....

Full length in the sun.  With this lighting, the paint becomes something else,
I am starting to really dig this porto olive!  Might have to change slings though.....

It would be really neat if someone would make a Vented Handguard Sleeve like the Portuguese AR10's,

that you could put your own Skinny 6-hole Handguards on.

Now if someone would make that, I'd be seriously buying a few.
