The ArmaLite AR10TAC18 delivers precision and versatility in a battle-tested platform chambered for .308 Winchester. This tactical rifle combines ArmaLite's decades of engineering expertise with modern components to create a reliable semi-automatic rifle for serious shooters. The 18-inch barrel length provides an optimal balance between accuracy and maneuverability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard AR-10 rifles, the AR10TAC18 features a premium Black Cerakote finish on the receiver for superior corrosion resistance compared to standard anodizing. The hard coat anodized barrel finish provides exceptional durability under harsh conditions. The Magpul STR collapsible stock offers six positions of adjustment and enhanced cheek weld consistency, while the flash hider effectively reduces muzzle signature.
