Many more are available as custom or semi- custom offerings. Basically anything based on the 308 or 300 SAUM case is available.

I completely agree, there are a lot of options for both the AR-15 and AR-10 platforms, I was just trying to explain that they are different sizes and are not interchangeable with each other. The AR-15 as a magazine fed rifle is limited to cartridges with about the same OAL as a .223. The AR-10 allows the user to step up to 308 class cartridges. (Obviously if you don't want to use the magazine you can use larger cartridges in the AR-15, such as 50 BMG conversions.
