Armalite Announces 2017 Team Armalite Competitive Shooters
(Phoenix, AZ – Feb 7, 2017) For the 2017 season, Armalite is stacking their competitive shooting team with some of the best shooters on the circuit. Team Captain, Greg Jordan, will be returning for his fourth season, joined by Team Armalite veterans Hunter “Nubs” Cayll and John Mouret. Rick Torres and Tom Lackley will be joining Team Armalite for the 2017 season, rounding out the team for all divisions.
Greg Jordan, hot off his 2016 winning streak, will be returning to Team Armalite as Team Captain. Jordan says, “Knowing the role Armalite has played in the development of firearms throughout history, specifically the AR-15 platform, I consider this a great honor. This will be my fourth year shooting for Armalite and I am excited as ever. Shooting quality products from these companies makes my job easy!” Keep an eye out for Jordan on the 3 Gun circuit, his ability to clear a stage is a true spectacle to watch!
Returning for his second year with Team Armalite, Hunter “Nubs” Cayll will continue his climb to the top. Cayll, relatively new to competitive shooting, has proven that being born with no hands, is “no excuse” to keep him from succeeding. In addition to being successful on the circuit, Cayll can often be seen at the major industry trade show events, on the range helping to educate new shooters, and lending his knowledge and experience to Nubability Athletics giving disabled children the opportunity to learn how to shoot.
Also returning to Team Armalite this year will be John Mouret, a veteran shooter and Sergeant with Arizona Department of Public Safety, based out of Phoenix, AZ. “Armalite has become an innovator in the industry, bringing a turn-key competition rifle to the market. Combined with the camaraderie and professionalism at Armalite, I’m thrilled to represent the team in both the law enforcement and competitive environments,” said Mouret. In addition to 3 Gun competitions, Mouret will be participating in Law Enforcement multi-gun matches utilizing off the shelf patrol rifle configurations from Armalite.
Armalite Announces 2017 Team Armalite Competitive Shooters
Joining Team Armalite this year, Rick Torres is relatively new to 3-Gun. His experience in law enforcement and passion for shooting give him a natural ability to succeed at a competitive level. “I’m looking forward to shooting the Armalite M15 Competition rifle this season and keeping it well fed with match ammunition from Nexus. I am very excited and honored to be part of Team Armalite and Team Nexus!” says Torres.
Last, but certainly not least, Junior Shooter Tom Lackley will be joining Team Armalite as a factory shooter this year. 2017 will be his third year shooting competitive 3-Gun, but his constant training and natural ability will make him a force to be reckoned with. He has a natural, outgoing personality, good attitude, and patience, which carry over into his shooting. Most of all, Lackley understands that he can be competitive and have fun at the same time. His ultimate aspiration is to shoot with the Army Marksmanship Unit (AMU).

BUILD AN AR 10 | Armalite AR-10 Rifle
Do you want to build an Armalite AR-10 Rifle?
Armalite the Only AR-10
BUILD AN AR 10
So you decided you want to build an AR-10 and your internet search delivered you to this site 308AR.com and that’s a great start. The problem is years of misinformation from word of mouth, published media and now the internet has steered many shooters down the wrong path in both purchasing rifles and building their own from parts bought online. To clear this up and educate visitors we will start with a brief little historical information and some misconceptions.
ARMALITE is the ONLY AR-10 Rifle
The AR-10 is a trademarked model designation of a rifle model from ARMALITE. No other large frame AR in .308 should be referred to as an AR-10. This is the reason I started referring to other branded weapons as 308 AR Rifles (AR308).
Inevitably I get email and negative comments on the subject but here’s why I stick to my guns in using proper naming. That reason is compatibility. These large AR rifles do not share the same interchangeability as their AR-15 counterparts and that is very important. I like to use analogies when this subject comes up. All muscle cars are not Mustangs, all bolt action rifles are not model 700’s and all Cola’s are not Coke. ARMALITE is the ONLY AR-10. If you want to build an AR-10 head over to Armalite and order an authentic AR-10 UPPER RECEIVER/AR-10 LOWER RECEIVER. I promise you it is the only lower receiver stamped AR-10.
There is no MIL-SPEC AR-10 or 308AR Rifle
There is no Mil-Spec AR-10 or 308AR. Any marketing material stating otherwise is misleading. What can be made Mil-Spec is materials and finishes. Dimensionally there is no MIL-SPEC with regards to parts. The interchangeability and that’s where the confusion of the platform comes in to play. The 308AR platform is full of inconsistency and a lack of interoperability.
Armalite itself has two different styles of AR-10, DPMS has multiple receiver heights on their LR-308 rifles, the DPMS SASS has a proprietary barrel and gas system. Then there’s the DPMS G2 which is an entirely new platform all together. Rock River Arms, POF , all more different than the rest. Once again if you want to build an AR-10 visit Armalite.
If you want to build a 308AR and have some flexibility look towards companies like Aero Precision and Mega Arms as solid bases to begin a 308AR build. Their hardware is first rate and very generic in the way you want it. Of course there is other equally suitable brands but you need to do your homework in advance.
The AR-15 was derived from the Armalite AR-10
There is a misconception that the AR-10 is based on the AR-15. This is completely false. First off AR in AR-10 and AR-15 stands for “ARMALITE RIFLE” and not assault rifle. The AR-10 was developed by Eugene Stoner in 1956. The AR-10 was re-scaled one year later and became the AR-15.
DO YOU STILL WANT TO BUILD AN AR-10?
DO YOU STILL WANT TO BUILD AN AR-10 or would you prefer to build a 308AR? If you still want to build an AR-10 I suggest buying a complete rifle directly from the Armalite. Building an Armalite AR-10 from parts will be a costly endeavor with no benefit over purchasing a rifle from Armalite. If you now realize and understand you want to build a 308AR by all means browse the pages of this website and have at it. The experience is quite rewarding.
I suggest visiting the following links before you proceed.
