You have an AR10 barrel wrench and upper block?

I'm going to put a free float handguard on the carbine.

nope, no tools for the 10; I bought it set up just how I wanted it.

Imagine that, no help here either

did you really expect me to be of any help?

cause I know in normal situations I'm really of little to no help except to give opinions and critique

but back to the 10; did you ever get that thing to shoot as strait as you expected; or are you thinking the FF tube will help tighten it up a bit?

Both the AR10T and the carbine are disappointing to say the least.  The carbine is 2 to 4" at 100 yards depending on the ammo.  The 10T is around 1.5 MOA and that is just not acceptable to me.

The free float hand guard on the carbine may help.  I may just get a whole new upper.  

I have been able to get all the AR15s to shoot where they are supposed to, but the 10s, I just don't have the knack for.

well the A4 carbines like mine (med wt chrome lined barrel) are 1.5" to 2" rifles according the paperwork that came with my rifle; I think that was spec'd with 168gr blackhills ammo.

my rifle with handloads will do right around 1" for 3 rounds when I do my part; 5 shot groups are around 1.5" to 2" depending on load with good bullet; various 147gr surplus stuff I've shot runs from 2" to 4" for 3 shot groups.

I've seen a couple of the T's with aftermarket triggers do sub 1" groups for 3 rounds with 168gr match ammo and reloads.

my 10's going to get a timney trigger for it's next upgrade when I can get my fun fund replentished; the 15 I had at tricity last summer has a 3# timney in it and I felt I shot just fine with it that day; figure one in my 10 might give me a slight improvement over the heavyweight trigger it's got from the factory.

Why don't guys get an accurate 7.62x51?
You know, like a nice Springfield M1A.

Oh geeze then replace the following: stock, barrel, trigger group, unitized gas system, etc etc.

If I ever get a M1A for medium range, I'll pony up the $$ for a LRB receiver to bypass the scope mount fiasco

Maybe a Polytech hahahahahaha

I've got two of them. Nden has shot my low end model and he knows it's damn accurate with iron sights.
The NM ain't too shabby either.
Both are 20+ years old though.

My two M1As are both full of GI parts and preban.
Plus I've got enough parts to build another one short of a barrel and receiver so I'm gonna keep them running for a long time.
My son wants me to get an AR10 of some sort but there ain't no way I'm gonna lay out the cash while I have two damn good M1As.

you could sell one to me to clear out some space in the safe if that's the problem
