AMU using AR-10s?

[DJKnoop]

Just saw this on Armalite's Facebook page and website:

"In one of the best kept secrets of National Match history, the Army Marksmanship Unit has been shooting AMU-built National Match grade AR-10's for the past two years. Their work has culminated with the acceptance of the ArmaLite AR-10NM for use "across the board" in NRA Service Rifle competition."

This is the first I'd heard that AMU went to 7.62 in an AR platform.

Anyone have more info or etc.?

Yes. They only use them for the Farr Trophy at Perry. 1K with a service rifle. They are the reason that the M-110 got adopted by the CMP as a service rifle.
