Fun fact: Apparently AR10's faced each other at least once in combat: In 1972 a Dutch doctor spent a few months ‘behind the lines’ with the liberation movement MPLA in Angola, which at the time was still a Portugese colony. In the report of his trip he mentioned that the MPLA had a number of Sudanese AR10’s, probably delivered through a solidarity program of the Organisation of African Unity, which were used in combat against a group of Portugese para’s wielding the same rifle (or, as we’ve learnt from this video: A variety of the same rifle).

the funny thing is the dutch army later adopted a M16A2 variant but due to high demand the guns was made under license in Canada by dimaco. (die making companie love that name)they made most of the blank uppers and lowers for colt so they made half of the gun anyway. they were named the dimaco C7 (semi and 3 round burst) and the C8(semi and full) and from around 2010 got a upgrade by colt and ar now names the colt C7 and colt C8. so an American idea modified by the dutch and sold by a brit was than developed further by the Americans and licensed to Canadians to be sold to the dutch and upgraded by Americans.

At 20:00, you’ll note the bolt catch has a spacer insert in the front. Early AR10s would develop a crack in the lower at this point. They solved it by just adding an insert. Also, on the Portuguese, a good number of transitional lowers had earlier lowers converted to the new charging handle by dovetailing the riser at the rear, covering the charging handle cutout.

In the ‘70’s, ‘80’s and ‘90’s, the Dutch made AR10’s were very around in the target shooting community. In those (pre-AR15) days, the AR10 was the only rifle that was accurate enough to be a platform that could win matches. The only rifles that could meet AR10 accuracy were a good and accurized M14 and Springfield 1903A3. You could buy a AI Hembrug AR10 for approximately $1200,- in the late ‘90’s early 2000’s. Since the AR15 became dominant in match conditions, AR10’s are literally forgotten here in the Netherlands. Fun fact: When the FAL became chosen to become the new rifle for the Dutch army and the government stopped funding the AR10 project, AI Hembrug employees could buy the remaining manufactured AR10 parts for scrap metal prizes, and eventually ended up on the civilian market. Gun shops assembled rifles from al the part they had, so here in Holland it was very common to see weird unofficial versions. Hybrid versions. They were just ‘Dutch’ made rifles once here, but now most spare parts are dried out, people that had close relations with former AI Hembrug employees died, the AR10 is expensive now. The last fire arm ever manufactured in Holland. Now it’s History

An excellent video. Around 1979/80 an outfit, don't remember the name, imported around three-hundred AR-10's. They turned in the lower receivers and had new semi-auto only ones made up. The anodizing on the lower was very close to the color of the upper. I purchased one. The gun was in great condition except for some corrosion in the bore. It came with ten "waffle" magazines. It was fairly accurate and a delight to shoot. One of my many "I wish I still had it" guns.

German Bundeswehr tested the AR-10 too, designation G4. The numbers are not only given to firearms which are really introduced into service, the numbers are given already at the test. G1 was the FAL, and the Bundeswehr looked out for a replacement of that one. G2 was a SIG 510 in 7.62mm NATO. And I think everyone here knows the G3. And since some licensing issues, they wanted the rifle produced domestically in license, the Bundeswehr picked the G3 and introduced it in 1959. And even if it's replaced by the G36 now, the G3 is still kept as a reserve rifle. There are several bunkers in Germany, at secret locations, where several are stored and maintained. They even retrofitted it to modern standards like ambidextreous safeties and a case deflector for left handed shooters.

After all, the China was still a virtually a client state of the Soviets and the North Koreans were getting all sorts of arms production from the Soviets as well.

So early the view count is lower than the combined mag capacity of those rifles on the table.

Excellent video, very informative. Keep up the great work!

you can see some connection of the last AR10 with the FAL the dutch army ordered: these too all had (heavy) bipods, and metal(heavy ) handguards, and they were restricted to semi-auto only. it was considered that the average conscript could not handle full-auto.

Thanks Ian! This video dovetails nicely with the book "The ArmaLite AR-10 Rifle: The Saga of the First Modern Combat Rifle" The 2nd edition completely updated revisions by author a US Army infantry officer Captain S. Pikula. A great first-person narrative of a soldier that may well have been so armed had the 10 been adopted. You can see why it wasn't adopted and how it's such a shame that it wasn't. The book is concise and only mentions the distinctions not comparisons with the AR15. Completely different the 10 and 15. Thanks for this great AI

All of your stories are excellent, but this is one of the most interesting.

Interesting note that in Canada, AR-10 derived rifles (Stag 10, NEA/BCL 102, and the Alberta Tactical's Modern Varmint, Sporter & Hunter) are non restricted while AR-15 derived rifles are all restricted. (Basically range queen use only.) The big difference (besides caliber) between my Stag 10 and Smith & Wesson M&P 15 is that the back of the upper is slanted on the Stag 10 while the M&P 15's is curved.

I think Ian mentioned this once, we literally got a wwsd ar10. Aka the knights armament ar10, literally designed by stoner himself

Ian can you please do a video on the difference between the SR25, Sig 716, Hk 417 and Hk G28

It's crazy to think that a few years ago Ian was relatively obscure, now it's like collectors and auction houses are almost chucking their guns at Ian for his recorded perusal.

i really like that rear sight

I’d love to shoot all. Stoner was a beautiful and brilliant designer. From what I understand the original was a ..308. Then switched to.225. A lot of parts,beautiful. Thanks again for your show 👍. I heard that the fn/fals had some problems?? Just curious.

That’s correct. The AR-10 was the original design which was then scaled down into the AR-15.

Yeah, well .... that's the Dutch government for you.Where most governments prefer to buy nationally produced items, The Dutch government seems to consider buying Dutch as somehow not done.

Is this to do with anti-gun politics? I know from Germany that the anti-gun left has been fuming for decades about H&K being a huge international manufacturer and also supplying the German army and police. There have been smear campaigns after smear campaigns against H&K, trying to get them out and ruin them. These smear campaigns often start inside the political system, like with the G36.

@@maximilianmustermann5763 I guess it would be viewed at as cockey to use our own. And if we can make a deal and tell other countrys they make nice stuff not doing it would be a missed opportunity to kiss ass

Thank you so much for profiling the Sudanese AR-10 which was my very first rifle back in Canada back in 1983 and I contributed to the AR-10er magazine publication back then. I think that I may still have the waffle magazines somewhere...I wonder if they're worth anything? I've also used the Cuban model which is sometimes referred to as the civilian model due to a lack of a bayonet. There were numerous changes and parts interchange in those days. My Sudanese had Arabic markings but the bolt carrier was more like the Portuguese model. You forgot to mention that the Sudanese model also had a fluted barrel in order to reduce weight and aid in cooling. The real cool part was the first bayonet which featured a tool kit in the handle including a corkscrew and gas adjustment tool. At the front of the front site post are two tiny little holes. This is how you adjust the gas system in a Sudanese AR-10. Can you please do a review of the original "Squareback" AR-10 with the tomato can muzzle brake? I once saw an example of this in the NRA museum in Washington D.C. Thanks again.

The survivalists rifle from New Vegas, in the honest hearts DLC is more than likely based off the earlier versions of the AR-10, I feel like the service rifle is a combination of both the m16 and AR-10

Very interesting.
