Started out my first AR10 build with my visit to Camp Perry this year. Got some great deals on the lower, upper, and lower parts kit from Armalite. The rest of the parts are as follows:
16" Med. Contour Noveske barrel, Laure 11.0, Vortex FH, PRI Gasbuster, Armalite BCG, Tango Down FDE rail pannels and grip, Larue VTAC sling, Slash's CAR10 buffer, RRA NM Trigger,Vltor Tube, Sopmod Stock, and Troy sights:
The upper was built by Noveske. I sent him some of my parts and he provided the rest. The rifle is also a new home to my Leupold MR/T and Harris Bipod, both wearing Larue mounts. All together, with an unloaded mag, the rifle comes in at around 12 lbs.
Overall, I am quite impressed by this build. It feels solid as a rock. Absolutely no movement between the upper and the lower. The balance feels great both with the bipod and the scope and without. It took some trial and error with some of the parts, but it came together in the end.
After playing with this rifle for a while, this is going to be my new Recce/Recon platform. This Noveske has an identical twin in 5.56 (only difference is a Larue 13.2 which will be replaced with the 11.0) which previously filled this roll. The 5.56 Noveske will eventually end up with a 1-4 variable optic.
Range report coming next week. Thank you to everyone who helped in this build and offered their advice.
