One of the main things that make the modern AR platform so versatile, is adaptability. The potential customization and configurations are endless. Whether it’s an AR-15, an AR-10, an AR-9, or an AR with .300 Blackout, and so on, you have options. Many serious shooters and firearms aficionados prefer building or customizing their own ARs, […]

The AR-10 is nothing new, […]
Stag 10S .308 Battle Rifle: a Little More “Boom” Than “Pew”
With all they advancements of AR-15s it’s easy to forget that the original intent of Eugene Stoner was to build a battle rifle, not an assault rifle. The original design, the AR-10 was for the .308/7.62x51mm cartridge. There are several reasons why that model was droped by the military and the M-16 was born, but […]
How the M-16 and AR-15 work | Detailed animation
When Eugene Stoner designed the AR-10 platform in the late 1950s, it is unlikely he could have imagined the success this rifle (and it’s progeny) would achieve. While the total number of AR platform rifles in civilian hands isn’t known, estimates range from 2-30 million. Combine that with the multitude of M-4’s and other descendants […]
Shots Fired: Spike’s Tactical Roadhouse AR-10: GBguns Video
Not long ago we brought you an up-close look at the Roadhouse AR-10 in .308 from Spike’s Tactical. Ambidextrous controls and no detail overlooked describes this battle tank of a rifle. On a bitter-cold morning with sleet accenting the weather I hit the range for testing. Does the cold impact ammunition performance? Yes. Does the […]
First Look: Spike’s Tactical Roadhouse .308 AR-10
Spike’s Tactical has a well-established name for making some of the coolest rifles out there. From fun lowers to high-performance dream rifles they’re all available at Spike’s.

If bigger is better is your mantra then CMMG has the rifle for you. The CMMG Anvil is a 458 Socom AR style rifle designed to do whatever you need 600 grains of ass kickery to do. This massive rifle isn’t quite a AR 15 or quite a AR 10. This is something entirely different. […]

Smith & Wesson M&P 10 Sport: VIDEO
AR-10s seem to be on the rise. My theory is that everyone already has an AR-15 (or three) and are looking for something a little different. .308 ammunition is plentiful, and if you shop smartly can be found for under $0.50 per round.
