Looking for info on original ar10's

[Res]

You are correct it is Sudan. Some years ago both the Portuguese and Sudan kits were imported into the USA, being selective fire the lowers were missing or demiled. There were a
few small firms that built lowers for these kits, some were steel. Sendra made a lower that was selective fire. But most lowers were semi auto, all worked very well.

I understand that there were some variations to the Portuguese and Sudan rifles such as an aluminum butt stock for rifle grenade launching and some wood butt stocks as field replacements.

There may be some incomplete kits around but any parts are very difficult to find and everything is different from the AR-10 commercial rifles now manufactured

This rifle is in New Zealand so still has the factory lower, the auto sear was removed to render it semi only. NZ got a lot of these at some point in the past but most got bubbad for deer hunting-I had one that had been made into a side charger with scope in place of the carry handle and cut down barrel with a can fitted as a hunting rifle when a teenager but I handed it in for destruction to be able to import a ar15 back when our laws were such. Have wanted an unmolested one ever since
