AR10 Receiver Sets

[jshepherd61]

I went with the M5E1. Ballistic Advantage barrels are quite heavy, so with that weight, the M5E1 is the best way to go. The barrel change I went with BSF carbon fiber that reduced the weight by three pounds total weight now is 11 pounds. This AR-10 is more accurate than I can be. I'm getting group sizes under a half inch or smaller. One six rounds group almost quarter inch. There is a lot of quality barrels on the market, it all depends on how much you are willing to spend.

Sounds nice! Mine is a M5E1 Craddock Percision 24" Bartlein barrel. It's a pig but worth the hump!

I talked to Wilson Combat today, they currently do not sell the AR10 as a receiver set at this time. However, was informed there is a very good chance they will in the near future.

I really like the POF as well, same situation they do not sell a billet receiver set for the A.R. 10 at this time.

Yes the Aero Percision M5E1 is the better of the two I believe

I have seen AR 10 rifles that could shoot better groups as bolt rifles at 100 and some that shoot 2 inches at 100 yards.
The expensive ones are being used all over the world by para military.
Most notable is Knight Armorer I think is the name and I have shot one that grouped as well as any bolt rifle I owned in 308.
A Seekin's in 260 shot same hole at 100 yards.
If your gonna go AR 10 in 308 get a good one!

That company is Knight's Armament.
Not only do they make one of the best AR 10's but also make Knight Vision optics.
I can't afford one but I have shot and disassembled them in the past,extremely tight.

For information purposes for others and myself, I have made a list of quality AR10 Receiver Sets. I had an older thread titled AR10 buy or build. I have kicked around this idea for some time, but haven't pulled the pin on anything yet. I like to do as much research as possible prior to starting a build. Considering a 6mm Creedmoor.

Here is my list, not in any particular order. I really like the JP with the side charging handle, but it is very pricey!

You might want to add Core15 to your list. They make quality parts in their shop at a reasonable price. I built a 458 SOCOM on their mil spec lower.

So, what's the final weight? The first barrel from Ballistic Advantage 20", I gave it to my grandson and I bought a standard upper receiver in AR-10 and gave him some parts for him to have his own AR-10.

That company is Knight's Armament.
Not only do they make one of the best AR 10's

Agreed and very expensive!

I can't honestly say I know enough about one company/product or the next. Each have certain attributes I like both in your list and in mine. Buying a turn key set up from one of the top manufacturers is easy, but that's the beauty in a build, you get exactly what you want. That and I can piece one together a lot cheaper than buying outright.

You might consider Sun Devil. I have two of their AR-15 sets and think they are great. They have a NP3 coated set for $599.95.

I had the chance to handle this rifle at the GAOS, very nice, very solid. They didn't have any AR10 billet receiver sets. This rifle is built on an in between (AR15 and AR10) set. It isn't sold separately by them.
