AR10B Question

[P0WERWAGON]

are the original AR10's restricted? the AR15 is a variant but the AR10 is the daddy.

All of the original AR-10's I've seen are CFA's, but if I'm not mistaken there were some factory produced semi autos that were built for civilian use, I think that these fall into the same grey area as some of the FAL target rifles, where there may be one or two unprohibited examples in the country.

 

[P0WERWAGON]

anyone have the FRT disc to check?

Original (circa 1958) AR-10 factory produced semi auto is non-restricted.

The very few original semi-auto AR-10s are non-restricted. Apparently there is one in Canada. All other original AR-10 rifles are either Selective Fire or CA, and are therefore prohibited. Current production "AR-10" rifles are restricted as variants of the AR-15, which is restricted by name. Realistically, the are derived from the AR-15, in 7.62mm. IF there were an exact reproduction of the original semi-auto AR-10 were put back into production, it should be non-restricted.

Dosen't Wolverine Supplies import such a reproduction?

 

[P0WERWAGON]

they don't make a reproduction AR10. only the new versions

POWERWAGON, the picture you show is not an original AR10, it is a new retro styled model that Armalite currently produces and is therefore restricted.

Of course, as already stated, if you had an original, ultra rare, factory, semi-auto AR10 from the 50's, then it would be non-restricted.
