has anyone built an ar-10 pistol?

lee2 · May 10, 2018

on my list of something to do... why ask why.

I'm half way there. I got the lower built for one. Just had too many more important financial obligations arise before I can finish it.

A lurker friend of mine has been talking about doing this for a while.
If low post member 16Tons chimes in, it is because I sent him to this thread.

Im glad someone else is crazy as im . This has been on my to-do list for some time now and im finally getting started I'm doing two pistol builds at the same time one 458 and 308 so far the 308 Barrel is the hardest part to find

Go to kak industries website. They have all that stuff. I am goin to get their McLane upper for my build.I don't know what's in stock but that is where i plan on getting mine.

So...what barrel length and caliber are guys thinking about for their AR-10 pistols? .308 seems like it'd be a real firebreather anywhere under 16 inches. Of course, if that's your thing, then carry on.

I know that is 99.9% of why 16Tons wants to do the build. That man is on a quest for the loudest gun on Earth.

I shot one of DSA's FAL pistols in .308 last month at the Big 3 East event. I honestly think my teeth rattled loose from the concusion of that thing. It was insane :thumbsup:

I have pics or a video on my IG page. I'll link to it tomorrow

10" will erode the gas port rapidly. 12" is optimal for this purpose.

This barrel length will destroy most suppressors too so check the barrel length and caliber ratings.

Adjustable gas blocks dont last long on short .308 type AR's.

There are many that I have reworked to get them running. They are a beast.

Yes Sir they are. I won't test the 10" .308 guns anymore.

Do you have a list of parts that hold up on a 12" .308 upper? I have a stamp for my AR-10 but haven't really pursued a short upper cause I just haven't had the time to research out anything.

Or, do you have any recommendations for a completely built upper? I was thinking of contacting Precision Firearms but am open to suggestions?

ohen cepel · May 10, 2018

I know it's not the same thing but have you looked at the PTR-91 pistol?

.308, braces out now for them, mags cheap also.

has anyone built an ar-10 pistol?
