First up, an original Artillerie Inrichtingen (AI) AR-10, Circa 1960. Last production version, purchased by the Portuguese Army for use by its Airborne Forces and Marines during the Angolan Civil War. 11 years ago when I was last permitted to legally transport this rifle to the shooting range, it typically printed 1.5 MOA or better with factory match ammo:

Back in topic now
Although not necessarily an AR10, if the Troy PAR gets a little love, so should the ATRS Modern Hunter.
Ahhh why did you have to go and do that, now mine looks like crap, LOL,
Colt 901, with the A2 stock, soon to be Cerakoted patriot brown,

This one is a Transitional Dutch AR10 made by Artillerie Inrichtingen in 1959. It has traits from both earlier and later AR10s. For example, notice the early charging handle but later handguard style. The guards were carved from walnut because the plastic composite was not yet perfected. These rifles did not see much (if any) field use but 5 were tested at the Aberdeen Proving grounds.

Then there is a semi-automatic version I am working on. It is an almost identical rifle with semi-auto lower receiver.
