I just placed an order today from Noveske rifleworks for my next project. I’ve been talking to John for about the past week about what I’m looking for in my AR10. I ordered the 14.5" Project Leonidas Complete Upper w/ Smith Vortex Flash Suppressor. I was thinking the 12.5" due to the fact that I was thinking of LEO use & storing in my squad car, but John helped me understand that the 14.5" will be just as easy but have better ballistics for my use. Next I need to order a Armalite Lower & a few mags for it, I’m going to go with the modded M1A mags so I can use them in the M1A as well as AR10! I’ll post pics of the upper when it gets here, it’s due sometime next week.
Let us know how it works out bro, im going to pick up the same upper here in the next few months.
Do you know where I might be able to find a Armalite Eagle Complete Lower for a decent price? I spoke with Armalite yesterday & they’re back ordered 3-4 months! I’d prefer the collapsible but I’ll take a A2 style & mod it the way I need 2.
I was in the same boat and scored 2 from another forum in the swap meet. I dont frequent AR15.com much but i have seen them for sale there on occasion.
I will see if i can find a supplier for ya.
I appreciate it, I’ve seen a few stripped on gunbroker so I might have to go that route. I’m trying to decide if I should go with the VLTOR E-Mod or the VLTOR A2 Modstock. This baby is going to go with me in my squad car on days where my M4 might not suit me well, so I might go with the E-Mod for confined spaces.
sweet… pop up a pic when its all build… i LOVE ar10’s…
When I build mine someday… … sigh… 
My “off-duty supervisor” finally okayed my AR10 build, but I had to get rid of my M1A. I hated to do that but it wasn’t practical for my LEO use. Someday I want to get a SOCOM 16 for Hog huntin’.

Thanks for the link…what are some thought about the stock? Should I go with the VLTOR E-Mod or the VLTOR A2 Modstock!!!

No problem bro. Not sure on the stock i have not used any of the VLTOR stocks myself.
I am doing a simmilar build using a 16" Noveske. I went with the Sopmod stock since I either have them on all of my rifles or am in the process of switching them out. What are your optic plans on your rifle? For now I am running an Eotech since that is what I have lying around.
I have a Short Dot and a TA11C ACOG im going to play with. The short dot is on another gun currently so im going to run the ACOG in a Larue mount and get some trigger time before deciding if it will work for me or not.
I spoke with someone at Noveske last week who said that they were cutting the barrels at that time. Hopefully it will be only a few more weeks before my upper arrives and I can play around with optics. By the way, what muzzle device are you leaning towards. My plan was to stay as simmilar to its 5.56 little brother, so I have been leaning towards a Vortex. I am still curious about the Phantom which is about 1/3 the cost.
I went with the Vortex flash suppressor, I had one on my M14 & M1A, it earned my respect. I’m wanting to get one on my 10.5" M4 when I get it done. I’m planning on using an ACOG that I have laying around unitl I find a good scope that fits my needs. I might look at the SOPMOD Stock. Does anyone know where I can find ACU Color Spray Paint so I can camo up my new build!
nother option I’ve thought about for the optics is the Millett DMS-1. http://www.millettsights.com/index.php/catalog_2007/tactical It looks like a nice option to think about.
Im sticking with the vortex.
That’s what I did.
This stuff is great, comes in many ACU colors, does not require baking, cures to touch in minutes (fully in 1 week), very heat resistant and is highly solvent/bore cleaner resistant…all for $11/can!
Thanks, I used that to finish up my SA 1911-A1, I’ll try to get pics of it posted soon.
I got my AR10 upper from Noveske yesterday & I fell in love with it from the moment I pulled it from the box. I can’t wait to get this all put together. I need my lower & a few mags then it’s off to the range I go. Now to decide on the optics, I have an ACOG that I thought about using but I worried if the 7.62 recoil will kill it since the ACOG was meant for 5.56mm, but when I was deployed to Iraq we had a 5.56mm ACOG on a M14 & it worked our whole deployment. What are anyone’s thoughts?
