new AR10 was created by foxhunter

A great looking AR10 caught my eye at the local gun store. I asked to see it. It was a new Armalite AR10 rifle, with the only designation anywhere on it was "Armalite AR10",along with a serial number. The barrel was black and looked to be 20 inches, it had a beautiful quad rail handguard and collapsable stock, no sights on it. They were asking $1200. I could not find this rifle on the website when I checked later.

The barrel should have some sort of stamp on it designating the caliber and often the manufacturer. Perhaps it was covered by the hand guard? Sure it was new...I don't think Armalite sells a $1200 AR10. I think it bears further investigation if you are interested in it.

Does it have the eagle stamp on the front of the mag well?
If it does then it is a factory built rifle. They have been putting out some special configurations for some dealers so you won't see them all on the website.

You're right, JTA83. Completely forgot about their Eagle Arms division. That would make sense with the $12XX price tag.

What was the SN range? And agree with MTM that barrel should be stamped B)

The white eagle mark makes it an ArmaLite,Eagle arms doesn't have it.

I will go back to the store and investigate further and let you all know. I am not going to buy another AR10 in order to preserve marital bliss. I really liked the hand guard and thought I could just order one like it from Armalite for my carbine, but could not find that on their website either.
Its raining here, so nothing better to do than go look at it again. still going there weekly anyway for the last 6 months hoping to find some Unique powder for my handgun reloading.

Ok, Here is a pic using my iPhone. it has an eagle stamped on the front of the mag well.
It has "Winchester 308" stamped on the top of the barrel , and Armalite stamped on the side of the mag well.

Maybe this one?
They are using that style of rail covers now, at least that is what came on my AR-15 target upper.

I've seen them use that same stock on some premier rifles they occasionally offer.
