Sorry I never replied to your question...

The standard AR-15 DIAS will not work with the AR-10 because the rear lug on the AR-10 upper receiver is too large to allow the DIAS to fit around.

Now, I have posted elsewhere that I believe that if a person was to weld up the rear takedown pin holes on an AR-10 upper and lower receiver and then mill the takedown pin to AR-15 sizes and if you are careful to ensure that yur spacing is correct that the DIAS for the AR-15 could drive the AR-10 as well.

Given the $10,000 or more price of a rDIAS the cost to do these modifications to an AR-10 are not all that expensive to have done!

Utilizing that information, I would have to say "maybe" that it might work. You would still need to put the AR10 "under the knife" and install all those ugly extra fire control parts just to make the standard DIAS work.
That is the "beauty of my beast". It allows fullauto function without all those extra internals added. No more screwing around! Drop it in and rock n' roll. Open her up and dump it out! Its that simple.

Hello Ken. Do you think you will ever update your web page on this? We are going on almost 3 years now. No digs, just asking. Brian

I have not made any updates to the Quarterbore.com website because it just takes too much time and effort... One of these days I want to convert it to a PHP driven website using style sheets as then it will be much easier for me to maintain.

Give me some advise on what you would like me to add or change... be specific... and I will update the code. I may not get to it still for some time as this time of year I am always way too busy!
