AR-10

The AR-10 is classed as an automatic rifle which fires 7.62mm NATO ammunition. Designed by Eugene Stoner at ArmaLite, the AR-10 was not widely used and built only to the tune of perhaps 10,000 examples. Nevertheless it is historically notable as being the basis for the later AR-15 design, which was adopted by the US Army as the M16. As such they became of coveted collectors item, and were recently put back into production for the civilian market.
