The designing of a forward cocking lever which could be reversed is not a bad upgrade idea. These can be either reciprocating or nonreciprocating. Some shooters don’t like the reciprocating systems and others do.

It uses steel stamped receiver components which are excellent for mass production. Of course it can stand some improvements. A Picatinny rail on top of the receiver is a very good idea as well as one along the barrel. Use of an AR-15 fire control group is expedient. I was leery of this at first because the original AR-10 had a much larger hammer then the AR-15’s. On my DPMS LR308 I’ve noticed a few failures to fire on hard military primers. However AR-10 with the AR-15 fire control groups have been around for many years now without much negative feedback, I think. The use of the DPMS .308 magazine is a no brainer, I think. One of the reason why the AR-18 was a flop was because of it’s proprietary magazine! An improved stock should be designed. The original AR-18 folding stock was a joke! If you wish to use a folding stock design you only need to look at the Israeli Galil or the Daewoo K2. Both have extremely robust folding stocks. Either one should be usable. A wooden or polymer conventional stock is also an option. It should be fastened on with a 3/8″ or 10mm bolt thru the tool compartment for maximum rigidity not with wood screw thru the stock tangs like on an AK47.
