    In no particular order:

    LaRue (long wait time)
    LWRC (expensive piston system)
    LMT
    Barrett (REC 10 is new, but it’s a Barrett and they already have government contracts for it)
    Armalite (the original)

    I’m generally a Daniel Defense fan, but I’ve read about initial problems. Perhaps they fixed them. If so, I’d add DD to the mix.

    YMMV

    What? No love for the PSA PA10 ?

    They are cheaply made and on top of that, not at all great for any kind of accuracy, unless you tear it apart and do some work to it. I fired one that a friend owns, and even with FGMM it was worthless. It is on par with those bargain basement AR-15's that are all the rage.

    I was THIS close to buying a Colt 901 about 4 years ago, but the 5.56 mag block inserts to make the swaps to AR-15 and back to AR-10 were not being shipped.

    Passed.

    Some weren't being shipped with the rifles but much of the problem was dealers were removing the conversion kits and selling them separately. Colt gets a bad rap about some things for sure...but this wasn't one of them.

    I have a 901-SE...it came with the conversion kit which is kind of useless if you already own a 5.56 M4...but the 901 is an excellent rifle. It has three drawbacks...it's pricey compared to most of the competition...it's somewhat hard to find and some of the parts are proprietary to Colt...not interchangeable with other 7.62 rifles on the market. Other than those drawbacks it's a great rifle! :rolleyes:

    Name the top five Manufacturers for a precision model.
    I don't have an AR10 pattern rifle(more of a bolt gun guy for precision) but they are popular with friends. In no particular order:
    1. KAC SR-25
    2. Larue
    3. Precision Firearms
    4. LMT
    5. JP
    I think the SR25 would hold its value the best. One friend has a PF 260 and it is a tack driver.
