I also saw an AR10 the other day all dressed up in Canadian garb. That is a .308 cal M16 type rifle. A small quantity were purchased for the no2 in the sniping team, and while these were supposed to be phased out as they broke, the troops love them so the weapons techs keep patching them up.

I didn't know we still had AR-10s! About twenty years ago I had a chance to fire an original in both semi and full automatic modes and I found it infinitely better than any of its comtemporaries, at least in full auto mode!
