Various AR-10 models. The bottom rifle is a "Sudanese" model. The middle is a sniper variant of the "Portuguese" model with the front sight removed and a scope mount integrated into the carry handle. The top rifle is a mystery, as it appears similar to a "Sudanese" but features a front sight block taken from an AR-15 variant, the top mounted charging handle is absent and there appears to be a rear mounted cocking handle as seen on the AR-15. It is possibly a "Sudanese" rebuilt with some later model parts.

Experimental LMG History
Some summary and context on the LMG with too many links for the main page:
Stoner's prototype is seen in a 1958 footage, although some suggest it was only a single prototype it appears that's not the case. The Dutch also made their versions of LMG and SAW. Ultimately, the AR-10 LMGs never left the prototype phase and didn't achieve mass production. Ref photos of a Dutch one. --Nanomat (talk) 01:59, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
