Can some one tell me if there is an FRT for an older non restricted AR10?

There are no unrestricted AR-10s anymore. Apparently, the AR-10 is a variant of the AR-15 which is restricted therefore the AR-10 is also restricted. Even though the AR-10 came before the AR-15, its still a variant. Yet the Swiss Arms rifles use a SIG 540 receiver which came before the SIG 550 and it isn't considered a variant.
Stupid laws here are stupid.

I'd love to know exactly which models because I've been convinced that they were all restricted. The important part of all this, are they still in production?

I wonder why those would be considered NR and AR-10s produced today aren't. Its unfortunate because the HK MR308 looks awesome.
All of the modern "AR-10"s are not true AR-10's. the original was a pretty different design, Modern ones are pretty much beefed up ar-15's.

all 308 ARs are NOT AR-10s.
The DPMS/HK 308s are a lot different than the Armalite/KAC 308s (with the latter being the most comparable to the original AR-10s).

Thats an AR10B, it looks like an original AR10 but is based on the AR15 internally. There were a few semi-auto only original AR10s as well as a few custom semi-only lower receivers made by a few different USA companies ages ago. They are no longer produced and were never produced in large amounts.
"...why they were considered a variant..." Because they look like an AR-15. Or vice versa. Like LeeEnfieldNo.4_mk1 says, a real AR-10 isn't like the current commercial version. It's a 12(3) prohibited.
"...thought Armalite..." Isn't the same company that made the real AR-10's in the 50's. Original AR-10's were made in Holland. The real sad part is that they made a few chambered in 7.62 x 39 for testing in Finland. Always thought that would have been an ideal mating.
"...new production batch..." Stateside, the ATF would likely declare a modern built AR-10 to be evil and run around confiscating them all. Our bunch would most likely follow along.

Now Satain that would be a Sudanese AR10 with the factory Artillerie Inrichtingen lower receiver. It might have a re-welded lower receiver by Hahn Machine in semi-only as was legal in USA but the legality of such an item is very grey in Canada... unless I am missing something? Now if it had a CKA steel or Speciality Arms aluminium USA made lower receiver (not a re-weld) it would be a different story.
Back to the original question, are there FRT numbers for the non-restricted AR10s in the system? For which manufacturers?

Im so confused now.
So modern AR rifles chambered in .308 are restricted, but real AR-10s are NR? I would seriously like to get my hands on one of them now.
Also to the guy that posted pics, Im jelly. Nice rifle
