I don't know what kind of photo magic you have pulled but with my AR10 it was quite obvious the distance from the rear take down lug to where the fire control componants was quite a bit furthere. .
[>:/] Hmmm [>:/] The second AR-10 I have on the way is an Armalite but I can't believe my lower would be different then others? When I get the new AR-0 Carbine I can slide pins through the FCG holes of the Armalite and Bushmaster Receivers and see if that shows things better but no trick photos here[:O)]
<center><table width=85% border=0><tr><td width=100% class=textBody><hr height=1px color=black noshade>The rear take down lug would not fit into the smaller lug channel of the DIAS, plus there is no clearance under the AR10rear lug to the shelf floor in the lower receiver. .
Now, I didn't measure the lug or fit things so perhaps you are correct here! Given the larger rear takedown it would be logical the rear takedown lug would be larger. It wouldn't affect the Link too much but the DIAS could be an issue and I sure woudn't want to modify a DIAS to use with an AR-10 (M-16 more fun plus may not be enough DIAS body to allow milling for AR-10 lug). Oh as for depth of the shelf vs lug depth, here again without fitting I can't tell if it will be a problem yet. If depth is an issue this will be a simple fix to lower that surface inside the lower on the mill[:E].

I thought of that as well and if the 9mm Bolt works through the addition of a tungsten core then the same could be done with an AR-10 bolt if needed. Following is my 9mm Bolt for use with the LL and this would be a pretty exact comparison, or so I would think...

Like I said, I really want the new rifle to arive before I do much else but this looking like a project that may just work and work easier then I thought....[8P]
