Anyone know much about availability here? I have seen two and think they were both built by SGC. Any particular reasons for lack of popularity?
Thanks. |

OK, now I've run out of captioned pictures which seem remotely appropriate. 
I was mainly interested in price, accuracy, reliability, build quality and how many retailers/builders of them are in the U.K? It struck me as a little odd that such a rifle isn't more common? The AR seems to be more popular than ever here and .308/7.62 is a very mainstream calibre. |

Yes Ok, IMHO here we go: Too Big Too Heavy Too Temperamental If they were that good more people would be using them, no one uses one competitively in CSR, they do nothing more than a half decent mag fed traditional .308 bolt gun can do for a lot less money and more reliability. Much like FALs they are a curiosity, sometimes fun to shoot but ultimately cabinet queens |

The main problem with AR10,s...is that they are as rare as rocking horse shit. I,d have one tommorrow. I just wont live long enough to order one from bodmin. Any estimate on cost of a basic one? £1500+ish? Someone once wrote a thread about them on another site, proceeded to order one and updated the thread as it went on. I seem to remember it was a long wait! But he was quite pleased with it initially, or last I heard. I suppose I should just phone SGC, or speak to them at the Phoenix in a few weeks. |

They only ever had 25 and they took the best part of 10 years to sell. Any .308 based AR10 type rifle will cost at least £2500 |

I heard just the other day...the exact opposite, that Bob has a prototype up and running and about to be manufactured ? He does, but it's not an AR10, that is a trademark of Armalite He had this prototype at the Phoenix last year and it was about £2300-2500. He won't sell many and I can totally understand why. The AR10 is a big rifle and totally different to the AR15 |

Is it a simillar sort of gun then Mark ? I think you are right about the limited market, they are just too big a gun for PR, unles you are built like Garth, but i think the curiousity factor would get the better of a lot of folk [ including me  ]See my previous post.

Was built as a gas-piston operated rifle for other markets. |

Not only available in 308 , but it is also available in .338. The rifle also will be able to take all AR15 stocks / forends etc so you are not restricted to just AR10 stocks etc.
Delay in production is both 308 and 338 will be available as interchangeable kit. Think this puts a different complexion on things as its not 'just' a new AR10 |
