The AR-10 is a 7.62×51mm NATO battle rifle developed by Eugene Stoner in the late 1950s at ArmaLite, then a division of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation.

When first introduced in 1956, the AR-10 used an innovative straight-line barrel/stock design with phenolic composite and forged alloy parts resulting in a small arm significantly easier to control in automatic fire and over lighter than other infantry rifles of the day.

Over its production life, the original AR-10 was built in relatively small numbers, with fewer than 9,900 rifles assembled.

A United States defense standard, often called a military standard, "MIL-STD", "MIL-SPEC", or (informally) "MilSpecs", is used to help achieve standardization objectives by the U.S. Department of Defense.

A rifle is a firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder, with a barrel that has a helical groove or pattern of grooves ("rifling") cut into the barrel walls.

The raised areas of the rifling are called "lands," which make contact with the projectile (for small arms usage, called a bullet), imparting spin around an axis corresponding to the orientation of the weapon.

When the projectile leaves the barrel, this spin lends gyroscopic stability to the projectile and prevents tumbling, in the same way that a properly thrown American football or rugby ball behaves.

This allows the use of aerodynamically-efficient bullets (as opposed to the spherical balls used in muskets) and thus improves range and accuracy.

The word "rifle" originally referred to the grooving, and a rifle was called a "rifled gun." The word "rifle" is now used for any long hand-held aimed device activated by a trigger, such as Air rifles and the Personnel halting and stimulation response rifle.

Rifles are used in warfare, hunting and shooting sports.

A telescopic sight, commonly called a scope, is a sighting device that is based on an optical refracting telescope.

They are equipped with some form of graphic image pattern (a reticle) mounted in an optically appropriate position in their optical system to give an accurate aiming point.

Telescopic sights are used with all types of systems that require accurate aiming but are most commonly found on firearms, particularly rifles.

Other types of sights are iron sights, reflector (reflex) sights, and laser sights.

The optical components may be combined with optoelectronics to form a night scope.

A gun barrel is a part of firearms and artillery pieces.

It is the straight shooting tube, usually made of rigid high-strength metal, through which a deflagration or rapid expansion of gases are released in order to propel a projectile out of the end at a high velocity.

The hollow interior of the barrel is called the bore.
