Armalite AR 10
Hello everyone... I am considering the purchase of a Armalite AR 10, Model T. This rifle has the carbine length barrel, stainless bore, picatinny rail, and two-stage match trigger.I am told that I can legally convert M1A 20 round magazines thru their factory. Factory literature claims 1 MOA and a lifetime warranty.Does anyone have any comments about and/or experience with this .308 rifle. How about the "converted" mags...reliable? I presently own a "loaded version" Springfield Arms M1A...how do you think this Armalite AR 10 stacks up to the loaded M1A?I respect the frankness and expertise I have read on this forum, and would greatly appreciate any knowledge you can share with me. Thanks, Jack

What is the thread size of the flash suppressor? I measure 5/8" x 24 but it is not quite a perfect match. Thanks 0 -
The "standard" size for .30 caliber rifles is 5/8x24. While there is no standard for that it is the most common. 0 -
It might be a metric thread if your talking about the original AR 10's from the 60's, rather then the recently made ones.
They were made in Holland not the US.
Get a set of metric thread gauges to verify this. Don't force on a 5/8 x 24 internal thread hider or brake as you might make major problems for yourself if the mismatched threads gall.0 -
Thanks. I have tried a 5/8x24 on it and that is the thread. Thanks again. 0 -

The early AR10 flash hiders are pinned on. The insides of the flash hiders are threaded for the blank attachments.0
