I agree it's a little late but i like to see more options out there. How many brands do make AR 10s? Off the top of my head, DPMS, Armalite, GAP, RRA, and LWRC. </div></div>
No, only 1 company makes AR-10s. Armalite. Everyone else makes a copy or a clone. AR-10 is a registered trademark. See here:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Armalite</div><div class="ubbcode-body">10-1. QUESTION: Why does ArmaLite object to other companies calling their rifles “AR-10.”
ANSWER: First, we object because they aren’t AR-10®s. The AR-10 is a special rifle manufactured by ArmaLite. Second, the model term “AR-10® is a registered ArmaLite trademark and may be used only on ArmaLite rifles or rifles made under license.
ArmaLite spent a lot of money producing the AR-10 when no one else would. We have spent a lot of time building the name and reputation of this rifle and trademark law requires us to prevent others from infringing on the trademark.
In addition, assuring that our model designation is properly used only with our rifle reduces the likelihood of owners of problematic lower-grade semiautomatic 308 rifles from referring to their problems as “AR-10 problems”.</div></div>
