FAQs
What is the difference between an AR-10 and an 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.
