Brownell's is now shipping the retro AR10 waffle mags. Interestingly they have decided to make these compatible with original and modern rifles.

Here's something that might put you in a retro frame of mind. An historic interview with Alan S. Wilder who was assigned to the Springfield Armory. Gun stuff starts about thirteen minutes in:

Great book I love on the AR10 is, “The Armlite AR10: World’s Finest Battle Rifle”
American Rifleman Review

I had a local fellow who makes belts and guitar straps make me a repro sling. The metal slider and the button on the tail end came off a cheap sling I bought off eBay.

Does your's (or do the new ones shipping) have the heat shield handguards that Brownells has now?
I'd love some Portugese style handguards, and a barrel-sleeve bayonet mounts.
I'm this close to pulling the trigger on one of these, so any feedback would be awesome.
I don't know if the current rifles ship with the heat shield forend but Brownell's does sell the forend by itself.
I added the heat shield forend to mine a couple weeks ago. I don't know if it really makes a difference or not. But I'm not really doing mag dumps with the rifle.
Another item recently for sale is a steel 308 waffle mag. These still have the correct waffle look but are probably more likely to last. The aluminum waffle mags are pretty thin and light. They probably won't hold up to continued range use.
I have one new steel mag and like it. It seats pretty easily when full, drops free and locks the bolt back. My only complaint is that the waffle pattern isn't very deep.

I see the steel AR-15 waffle mags but only aluminum AR-10 waffles
