Slight correction, it would be "deemed" restricted by the lab...
Yea I am pretty sure that the original semi auto version of the AR-10 is actually classed non-restricted. I am not sure how modern AR-10 rifles true to the original design are restricted. But we all know how the RCMP work...
If you look at the contour of how the upper and lower fit together then you will realize that an AR-10 upper will not fit on this rifle.

I am no expert, but the receiver contour has remained the same. They still use AR-10 buffer tubes, and BCG... I am pretty sure they are true to the original design...
OK. I have a lot more hands on time with original Dutch AR-10s, both Sudanese and Portuguese versions, than with current .308 AR rifles.
It would be good if an original Dutch upper fit something that was current production, whether restricted or non-restricted, because all originals are unusable 12-3s.
I know that some of the current .308 AR type rifles are basically scaled up AR-15s; wasn't aware that others are dimensioned on the AI AR-10.

Yea the AR308 rifles are scaled up ar-15s and ar-10s are still the same old thing.

Hey Bombsquad68, would you be able to point me in the direction of who stocks the SLR? looking to pickup one of their other models for the 102 but on their website it says they don't ship outside the US. Thanks in advance!
I just noticed that, very weird because myself and another member here have them on order. I even emailed them to make sure and they said they ship USPS Priority to Canada. Don't think you'll be able to find the Armalite pattern DPMS-High height ones in stock in Canada, I looked high and low. Odinworks ships to Canada as well if you're interested.
I have an email from Peter at Odinworks on Aug 14th stating they will ship everything to Canada except barrels, triggers, LPK's and BCG's. Everything not covered by the ITAR small parts exemption.

This is incorrect. Modern .308 AR style rifle use a buffer tube that is smaller in dia than the original AR-10 from the 50's. The tail of the bolt carrier is also a smaller dia IOT fit inside what is essentially an AR15 buffer tube that's 1/4" longer than normal to accommodate the longer round.
Modern .308 AR's were designed to take advantage of as many AR15 parts as possible to reduce cost. There is not a single part that is interchangeable with the 1950s design without modification.
