FYI...in regards to my OP, just trying to learn a bit. I don't have many friends who own these types of firearms (hunters and handgunners, but even those in the military / LEO that I know don't talk much about these types of firearms). I don't have the funds to get a hands on feel, etc. Sorry if my OP comes off as a statement, I'm just trying to have th replies hit various topics I don't know enough about or just don't understand.

For example, I had no idea the AR-10 would be considered easier to maintain and more accurate than the M1A.

I thought AR-10 was, in general, a 7.62x51mm / .308 chambered firearm (the 7.62x51mm / .308 version of a AR-15). Is this correct?

Why I included the AK, is because when you read various threads, these firearms are compared.

Thank you for the replies.
