A bit of tweakin on the freakin AR10 was created by faawrenchbndr

So here's the deal. Got away from Armalite for a few years. Went the LMT MWS route, REPR, SR25, and I am back to the original. The high price sticks were nice, but did not really shoot much better and there was just something missing.

Picked up this national match B model from Charlie a while back. I have tweaked it a bit in the last few weeks. Nothing major, nothing permanent, just a bit better suited for my needs.

Added a carbine buffer tube with one of Slash's heavy buffers and extra power spring, there really smooth out the action. Added a FDE SOPMOD stock, BCM grip, FDE ladder rail covers, MagPul QD sling adapter. Used a Spuhr SP-3616 mount along with a Leupold 4.5-14 scope with Varmint reticle. Trigger is stock Armalite NM. I do have a SLR adjustable gas block on the way.

Hope it shoots........obligatory pic, lighting is poor overcast skies.

Darn it....just trashed a $120 SLR gas block. Bent the adjustment screw when the block shifted in the vise installing the gas tube roll pin.

I bet they can help you out with a new screw if that's all the damage done.
I have one to install before I get the flash hider welded next week so I'll be extra paranoid now :unsure:

Darnit,....the Spuhr rings are too wide for the 1.5-6 USO I had decided to mount. Now I have to decide upon using another mount. Knights, Larure or stick with the Spuhr and the Leopold glass.
