I have been eyeing the AR10 SASS by Armalite for sometime but still looking around to see if there are better alternatives.
Any suggestions?

The 7.62 AR's come in several magazine patterns. ArmaLite, Noveske and AP are M14 style. KAC, LMT, CMMG and DPMS are SR-25 style. RRA is FAL and there are some that use G3 mags. The SR-25 mag is the defacto standard and ArmaLite has released new models that use the SR-25 mag.
These big AR's do not have the same kind of parts comparability that there little sisters do. Barrel nuts, bolts and bolt carriers, mag release, bolt stop, RE and RE parts can be different across the different brands.Thanks for highlting this. I used to think that the mags were std across manufactures, like the 5.56mm platform.
pick the one lower that uses surplus mags.than pick out your upper design you want.than contact the upper maker and ask them if they can mate your desired upper to your choice lower.RRA is FAL and there are some that use G3 mags
Yes, the Armalite small arms division of Fairchild Aviation which has been out of business for nearly half a century now. SR-25 stands for Stoner Rifle, as in Eugene Stoner, who designed the original AR-10 and AR-15. The current company from Illinois calling themselves Armalite makes an AR-10 that won't even accept magazines from the original Fairchild Armalite AR-10.for the money. Armalite. the AR stands for Armalite.
