"Building" an AR 10 isn't as questionable as it once was but there may still be "fitment" issues.
FWIW
An AR 10 with a decent weight/length barrel is a heavy SOB. I own one in .308 (plus a 2nd upper in 6.5C from the same company) but haven't fired either yet. The first comment from everyone who's handled the AR 10 is "Wow, that's heavy". I have a nice .308 Mauser w/24" semi-target barrel rifle that's about the same weight and haven't heard anyone make this comment about it.
