GRINNELL, Iowa –-(Ammoland.com)- Brownells customers can now “Blast With The Past” as both models of the much-anticipated BRN-10 Retro Rifles chambered in .308 are in stock and shipping.
Introduced at SHOT Show 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada, the BRN-10 is a close copy of the original .308 rifle designed by Eugene Stoner in the 1950s. The BRN-10 rifles contain no surplus parts, and are built with all new components manufactured with modern methods.
Available in two models, the BRN-10A and the BRN-10B, the rifles have the distinctive trigger-style charging handle located underneath the carry handle along with overall styling and cosmetics very similar to Stoner’s first rifles.
“Inspired by the original Dutch AR-10 Models, the Brownells BRN-10 Rifles allow the firearms enthusiast to own a faithful recreation, at a fraction of the price for an original AR-10,” said Brownells Director of Product Management Paul Levy. “The receivers, barrel charging handle, bolt carrier group, furniture, flash hider, front sight base and even small components were all styled to honor the original design. Using modern production methods, the BRN-10 is easily capable of engaging targets accurately at long distances.”
With upper and lower receivers designed in conjunction with FM-Products, the BRN-10 rifles accept standard DPMS/SR25 components including triggers, magazines, barrels, bolt carrier groups, muzzle devices, buttstocks, pistol grips, handguards, and buffer assemblies.
