I have a dream...A Norinco AR-10...

I had an AR-10-Portuguese contract-nice gun shot well-but the \['[\]-ing spring recoiling in the stock drove me nuts !-to my knowledge;most (if not all) were converted FA's (mine was)-which was fine at the time -I sold it to a buddy in the late-'80's-he neglected to register it in the early '90's (not because I didn't nag him!) when they changed to prohibited-was melted down courtesy of Richmond Hill police...
 
I've done a bit of searching with google looking for drawings ..... with not much luck .

are these called by a different name , or a nickname , or something else besides " ar10 "


btw if this can get off the ground , i'll find the money for at least one nonrestricted ar10 .

what about frt numbers .... anyone know the frt number to the nonrestricted ar10 ?

All attempts as previously mentioned from a firearms verifier have turned up no FRT number for a non restricted AR10.

I definitely think the better option here, at least given the circumstances of the AR-10, would be the AR-180 B. Getting one of them to reverse engineer/ draw schematics from would be pretty simple, with the FRT there, it would also be ready to hit the market a lot sooner, which would definitely re-coup costs quickly. Although, if I am not mistake the 180 B's had a plastic lower, and having a metal lower would be much preferred by most shooters I would assume.

I think having the FRT already makes it simple. The handguards are plastic. Upper and lower are stamped metal.

Is ITAR something a dealer from south of the border would have and allow this to bring up here?

No, ITAR is controlled federally. No-one would be allowed to export this technical data from the USA without ITAR approval. It would then be even worse, if it was transferred from Canada to China. The Canadian party who exported the technical data would have committed a crime in the USA, and could be arrested upon entry to the US.

I have an acquaintance who owns a manufacturing company that does work for DOD. The owner isn't actually allowed to even know what they produce, as he is Canadian. His US team cannot disclose to him what products they make. It's an awkward relationship.

Not sure what you mean. It was posted in the thread that the Ar-10 currently do not have a FRT. Is this what you are asking?

i meant does a "newly" designed and manufactured AR-10/180B whatever have to have a polymer lower to fall under the same FRT? as long as it follows exact same dimensions/specs?
