Various AR-10 models. The bottom rifle is a "Sudanese" model. The middle is a sniper variant of the "Portuguese" model with the front sight removed and a scope mount integrated into the carry handle. The top rifle is a mystery, as it appears similar to a "Sudanese" but features a front sight block taken from an AR-15 variant, the top mounted charging handle is absent and there appears to be a rear mounted cocking handle as seen on the AR-15. It is possibly a "Sudanese" rebuilt with some later model parts.

Discussion

Why are there so many variations on this page that have never been in a movie? --Zackmann08 12:17, 16 March 2012 (CDT)

Reading one of MPM2008's answers on the Glock talk page will answer your question. Nevertheless, the pics were added by a (former) mod. --bozitojugg3rn4ut 12:51, 16 March 2012 (CDT)

The annoying thing is, I actually knew that... Just forgot that rule. I saw a bunch of blank entries and figured I'd move um to the discussion page. Thanx for correcting me. --Zackmann08 13:11, 16 March 2012 (CDT)

No problem. Sorry if I sounded rude. I am having some private life problems right now, which were (likely) affecting my edit(s). Sorry again. --bozitojugg3rn4ut 17:52, 16 March 2012 (CDT)

No worries mate. You didnt come across rude at all! Hope things work out. --Zackmann08 18:05, 16 March 2012 (CDT)

Experimental LMG History

Some summary and context on the LMG with too many links for the main page:

Stoner's prototype is seen in a 1958 footage, although some suggest it was only a single prototype it appears that's not the case. The Dutch also made their versions of LMG and SAW. Ultimately, the AR-10 LMGs never left the prototype phase and didn't achieve mass production. Ref photos of a Dutch one. --Nanomat (talk) 01:59, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
