The ArmaLite AR-10 is an American battle rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm, designed for the American rifle trials of 1955, meant to replace the M1 Garand. Springfield Armoury's M14 Rifle prototype and FN FAL also competed; the first won, though the AR-10 saw purchases by numerous smaller countries, including a few orders towards Oceanyka. However, this unsuspecting rifle would later be rechambered into .223, giving birth to the Colt Armalite AR-15 and a family of weapons that would dominate the American Armed Forces' armouries for almost a century. In Oceanyka, it is considered a fine example of American manufacturing excellence, and sought after.
