AR-10 Original Promo Video
This is an original promo video made, I think, during the 1950's when Armalite was attempting to get the army to adopt the AR10 as its replacement for the M1 Garand. In the end, the Army chose the M14, but the AR10 would go on to serve as the basis for the M16.

A lot of "experts" still think Colt invented Stoner's AR, a load of crap though about the cleaning huh? Didn't show how dirty and fouled the upper assembly's breech and gas tube exhaust get. The big complaint with these rifles in Vietnam was how they fouled and failed until the forward assist was added.

With all the tight machining tolerances it is kind of hard to get the thing really clean. The m16 descendents of this rifle are accurate but very intolerant of dirty battlefield conditions. And, what battlefield isn't dirty. Plus, every time we go to the range we spend all day firing and the next 2 days cleaning our m16s.

Armalite sold the rights to the ar-15 to Colt. Colt used its extensive government contacts to push the rifle to the gov, something armalite really didnt have the capability to do. Armalite when on to make the ar-180 as comeback rifle, but the government had already settled on the m16, and that ar180, which is an amazing rifle in its own right, has been forgotten.

They should have chosen the AK, would have came in useful in Nam. But I guess the AK would have been a politically incorrect choice back then...

Other than reliability and cost, AK's are completely useless. Apart from our forces superior training its one of the main reasons why our body counts are always much higher when we're fighting AK equipped forces

The U.S. military philosophy has always been one of individual marksmenship. Not spray and pray. The m 16 was/is a much more accurate weapon.

Commander in Chief Obama will bring our boy back from Iraq so they can fight heavily armed republican insurgents that are plotting against the US constitution.

lol, I dont think the republicans are doing anything of the such, because they actually believe in the constitution. Its the liberals who see it as a living breathing document and are constantly trying to change and break it. America is our constitution and if you destroy that you destroy America as we know it, and it looks like Obama and his communist are working over time on that.

j davis i think the forward assist was added so the soldier could break the rifle open if the bolt got stuck back too far. As for the AR 10, it was not a bad rifle but one blew up during testing so it was eliminated from competition with the m-14 and FN FAL. Armalite did manage to tell several thousand of these to Portugal, and they used them in their colonial war in Angola. In both the AR 10 and M 16 elimination of gas tube and piston was a serious design flaw, as not only did it dump unfired More..

Your first sentence is only partially true. The forward assist is there to push the bolt forward when either there is a short powder charge in the ammo that causes improper cycling or when the rifle gets so fouled or dirty that manually pushing the bolt forward is necessary. It has nothing to do with the breakdown of the rifle.

Armalite or better known as the AR 15 or M16 the military version was invented by a Filipino named Armando Lite who later sold the patent.

Nearly identical to an M16, minus the forward assist.

Eugene Stoner was the designer, an American.

After the M14 was chosen for the next US rifle, Stoner sold the rights to the Netherlands, to the A.I. Hembrug state armory. They modified and redesigned some significant details, and the rifle was almost become the new infantery rifle of the Dutch army. Unfortunatly, some few K AR10's where sold to Portugal, and they started to kick some Soedan asses with the AR10's. The left-winged prime-Minister from Holland didn't liked that, so he closed the State facility for small arms production. The FAL More..

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of that part of the story.
Speaking of match grade M1 Garands, my father has one, and I used it to shoot in a few DCM matches when I was very young, maybe 13 or 14 years old.

Don't know if anyone knows this but the waffle mag shown in the rifle is probably worth as much as a new AR15. Collectors love them for some reason. I have seen a few at gun shows for hundreds of dollars.
