FAQs

What is the difference between an AR-10 and an AR-15?

The AR-10 is larger, fires 7.62 NATO/.308, and offers greater range and power than the 5.56 AR-15.

Can I use AR-15 parts on an AR-10 rifle?

Only some parts interchange; upper/lower receivers and bolts differ due to cartridge size and design.

How does AR-10 rifle recoil compare to other battle rifles?

Recoil is moderate, less than FAL or M1A due to buffer system; heavier rifles help mitigate it.
