Howdy, boys. I'm looking to remake pic related as an AR10/LR308 and while I thought wood furniture would be the hardest thing to come by, it's actually the upper receiver that's the issue. Anybody know of any company that makes an A1 style upper for an AR-10.

Did you look at Boyd's already?
>>34093010
I've already found the furniture. I need an A1 style upper is all.
>>34092960
Need an A1 with a FA and a brass deflector, I think C7 uppers are like that. Best bet is to spend a lot of time on gunbroker or head over that AR website with the marketplace. You'll also need a fence-less lower, do you have that too?
>>34093137
Shit, I don't even know what fence-less means. Care to elucidate me?
>>34093219
No fence around the mag release i think.
>>34093137
>C7 uppers
>AR-10
nigga
>>34093219
Lower without the guard around the magazine release
>>34093233
I thought any upper could be used with an AR-10, so long as you use the right barrel
I had always wondered how long it would take for someone to get serious about making this gun
>>34093300
Why not, exactly? Not enough room for the BCG and stuff? So OP has to find an AR-10 upper with an A1 carry handle and a FA and brass deflector?
>>34093272
Definitely not. the magazine well is much bigger on an AR-10, so AR-15 uppers aren't long enough.
There's so many different kinds of AR-10s that most different brands don't even have compatible receivers.
>>34092960
someone used to make detachable a1 carry handles, so you could get a regular upper and one of those if that's satisfying enough.
>>34093395
It's not. My autism won't stand for it.
>>34092960
Your best bet is probably to find an A2. I don't think A1s have ever been made.
>>34093412
I'm looking around and it seems the only company that made an A2 style AR-10 was Armalite and they do not sell the upper by itself.
>>34093407
it was worth a shot anyway man, I'd love to see you post the build when its complete.
>>34093407
>>34093449
maybe contact nodak spud, they do retro builds
It's sooooooo much easier to do with an AR-15.
>>34094203
>not carving ARRÊT! into the stock
What are you, gay?
>>34094203
willing to share your upper/lower? my dick is diamonds
>>34094245
looks like his intent was service rifle, not survivalist's rifle
>>34094203
where did you buy the wood and the other parts
>>34094203
What's the upper?
Also, where are your tactical hose clamps?
>>34093137
Dpms lite 20 has a1 upper with brass deflector and assist. The barrel is thinner past the handguard too.
>>34094281
not that poster but you can buy A1 uppers from brownells.
>>34094203
Blackgunwoods?

Why make it in AR10, when you can get an A1 style -15 upper in 50 beo, and keep it the right caliber for the game?
>>34094483
dis shit here mang
get yourself like an 18'' barrel and a fake dissy set up
idk what youd do for the muzzle. to me it looks like an A2 birdcage w/o the cage
>>34094483
>>34094599
The muzzle device is the big issue and the main reason I want to go for the AR-10 as opposed to one chambered in .50 Beowulf.

Honestly, I bought one of those VZ2008s back when they were $400, and traded a Vietnam vet for his A1 build.
>>34094410
I got one for funsies and may just get some wood furniture and a 1/2x28 thead protector cap on the muzze to go with a gud nuf looking survivalist.
\Was going to do a c7 but a decent correct look barrel is almost as much as the rifle. Might as well play dress up with it
