Armalite AR-10T or DPMS REPR 308/7.62......

atm,the best ''prodie''' ar-10 is the lmt mrp with the optional 20SS barrel.pouic.

then,the custom ones like your upcoming GAP.

No.
My 20" ss lmt was a .5 to .7" gun. That's outstanding. But it was way too heavy to be used effectively as a carbine.
The dpms g2 recon I have is a .7-.8" gun. Still outstanding. It literally feels exactly like a .223 ar. Same weight, same dimensions. Quality is not as good as the lmt or kac, but the design is much more compact and useful. It made my lmt completely obsolete.
In regards to barrel length, the difference between 20" and 16" ballistics is negligible in the real world. I see virtually no difference in long range shooting, it's just a slight adjustment to your wind and drop card. And the 16" is so much easier to point and carry.

I love my high end firearms, and money isn't a consideration, but the dpms g2 has kac, lmt, armalite, and the customs beat right now...

 
The end story will be between the KAC and the LMT for 2014.... In 2015, i will get the one i dont get this year... I to love quality rifles, especially those in 308... JP.

I'd go with the kac carbine then.
It's softer shooting and lighter, therefore, more useful as a carbine.
The lmt with a stainless barrel has a slight edge in accuracy, but honestly, there is no point to a precision semi auto that weighs more than a precision bolt gun and handles poorly as a carbine.
Seriously though, I've had one of all of them, and the g2 wins hands down.

For now my choice are a KAC SR25 E.R.20 inchs barrel or an LMT MWS CBQ 16 inchs barrel... JP.

Rick - The SR-25 is not compatible with AR-10's
If we want to get pedantic - the SR-25 was out in the late 80's - way before any current AR-10 was on the market. With over 20,000 Mk11's, M110's etc in service worldwide - I believe we are the 762 gas gun standard.


It was deemed restricted due to the fact it was similar to the AR-15 exteriorly -- it shares no lineage with the AR-15.

Armalite now makes an upper and lower that fit on the SR-25,and use an SR-25 magazine (probably due to the commonality now of the SR-25 design - and the fact the AR-10 mag blows dead goats).

As far as KAC stuff goes - the APC was cancelled as the lighter weight ACC shot just as well - and it was easier to build 1 16" gun than two or three barrel weights.

Lets hope this gets changed in the not so distant future.

Thanks for the intel, I am not up to speed on the KAC rifles.
My comment was simply seeing the similarity to the Armalite AR10 configuration.
Why the KAC was classed as restricted then eludes me too. Might be worth a go at challenging the decision?
 
Frankly not sure why the KAC was designated restricted, aside from the look, but then a JR carbine looks like an ar15 as well just shoots a different calibre and has a different action just like the SR25... Another mystery of Canadian firearms classification and the current mess.
 
I believe the HK MR308 also falls into the how is it an AR10 category then. The M&P15-22 is another example. That one isn't compatible with anything and is clearly not an AR variant, yet it was classified as one.
 
Hmmm, whichever mod did the last clean up of the thread must have been drunk. All my posts were deleted. I was expecting maybe the one where I asked Epoxy and ATR to quit arguing to be gone.
Well done sir

Good luck Caramel, I know you'll post pics for us once you decide which one and you get it in your hands.

Yeah - Canadian gun laws (like many of the idiotic state bans down here) where not based on anything specific, or logical - other than fear, loathing and irrational thought...

The Original AR-10 semi-auto guns were deemed non restricted as they pre-dated the AR-15.

It would be nice if more companies made 7.62x51 pistol mags to feed these properly!

Feeding these AR-10 style rifles properly would mean standard 20 and 25 round magazines.
It would be nice if the lawmakers weren't retarded and we could use standard capacity magazines since neutering a magazine used by a law abiding gun owner doesn't make anyone any safer.
Are they really that drunk that they think a criminal is going to leave the rivet in the mag before they go commit a firearms crime?
They need to punish those that break the law much more severely and leave the rest of us alone to enjoy our sport.
 
I will use my 10 rounds XCR-M 10 rounds pistol mag in the chosen one, bought a dozen and they work flawlesly in my 308 Oracle and My Wyndham 308... They will fit either my LMT or my SR25... JP.

We are talking about sr25 rifles. Not ar10 rifles.

Really? Read the title of the thread then the rest of the posts in it. It sounds to me like we are talking about all AR-10 style rifles.
The focus has shifted but it sounds like Caramel is open to all options.
