Armalite AR-10 A4 (Ver 1)

ArmaLite AR-10A4
The ArmaLite AR-10 is a 7.62mm battle rifle, a battle rifle is a military service rifle that uses a large caliber round (like the M1 Garand, M14, and H&K G3). Designed by Eugene Stoner, the original AR-10 came before the smaller caliber AR-15 which soon received it's military designation: M16. There are many different variants of the 7mm AR rifle, the one displayed here is the A4, it differs from the other versions because of it's removable carry handle and it's sight rails. They soon made a carbine (short) version which was probably very loud.

I originally made a M4A1, which basically looks the same since they're both based on the AR-Platform. So for this guy I removed the carrying handle, added a scope (which I'll remodel into an actual brand name scope), gave the rifle a solid stock and straight magazine, (most 7mm battle rifles have straight magazines. For example the SCAR 16(L) and SCAR 17(H) basically look the same, however the 17 (which is in 7mm) has a straight, box-like magazine... the more you know). I also re-sized the forend of the rifle and removed the front sight.
