AR 10 in the Dominican.

[RCS]

Often overlooked but may have been just as good if not better than the AR-15 series was the AR -180. Simple to use plus the folding stock. Even more forgotten was the big brother in 7,62 NATO cal, the AR-16, these were weapons at the wrong time and place in history. The AR-180 is (my opinion) the major influence resulting in the SA 80 but without the problems.

There was even a slight interest by US Ordnance concerning the Stoner rifle, even manuals were printed with instructions for training and close order drill.
