In BF4, my gun of the moment is the Ace52CQB with 7.62 rounds, pretty similar to the .308 you got there. It packs a punch at close/medium range, but can't shoot a thing in auto-fire at long range (poor stability and average precision). I get triple kills quite often with a single 25 rounds clip (+ 1 in chamber).

Bye.

Looks like it. Or the serial number was photoshoped in later.

The photo is a marketing photo, for Palmetto State Armory. People have been clamoring for the ar10 lowers for a good while now on their forums, and FB page . The yearly national gun show is this week, (I think is called the "shot show") and this photo popped up on their FB page on Friday. The national buying frenzy on ar15 parts is just about over. So, I guess someone made the wise business decision to start production on the ar10 lowers.

From wiki:

Quote
The AR-10 is an American 7.62 mm battle rifle developed by Eugene Stoner in the late 1950s at ArmaLite, then a division of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation. When first introduced in 1956, the AR-10 used an innovative straight-line barrel/stock design with phenolic composite and forged alloy parts resulting in a small arm significantly easier to control in automatic fire and over 1 lb (0.45 kg) lighter than other infantry rifles of the day.[1] Over its production life, the original AR-10 was built in relatively small numbers, with fewer than 10,000 rifles assembled.

In 1957, the basic AR-10 design was rescaled and substantially modified by ArmaLite to accommodate the .223 Remington cartridge, and given the designation AR-15.[2] ArmaLite licensed the AR-10 and AR-15 designs to Colt Firearms.[3] The AR-15 would eventually become the M16 rifle
