AR 10 History

The AR 10 semi-automatic rifle was designed by Eugene Stoner in the 1950s for ArmaLite, a small machine shop that created firearm designs and concepts with the intention of selling them to arms manufacturers who had the resources to produce them en masse. The AR 10 was submitted to a competition to update the United States Army’s standard issue rifles. Stoner had created an innovative straight-line barrel and stock design made from resin and forged alloy parts that resulted in a small arm more than a whole pound lighter than most infantry rifles. The AR 10’s straight-line barrel/stock design also made it easier to control in automatic fire mode. best ar 10 guns

Unfortunately the AR 10 was not chosen by the US Army (which instead chose what would become the M14), due to the failure of the aluminum/steel composite barrel ArmaLite president, George Sullivan, had insisted on using. Though replaced with steel barrels in future, the AR 10 saw more faulty production over the next few years, leading to its rejection by other major buyers like Nicaragua.

In 1995 ArmaLite was purchased by the owner of Eagle Arms and became ArmaLite Inc. Production began shortly thereafter on the AR 10B rifle series – however this rifle is based purely on the AR 15A2 and not on the AR 10’s original specs. The AR 10 may not have seen a highly successful run, but it earned its place in history as an innovative firearm design.
