300 Win Mag in an AR10 style platform:
When considering AR-10/AR.308 possibilities, remember that the whole system is designed around Short Action cartridges; like .762/ .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, .277 fury, 8.6 Blackout. These are all compatible with AR-10/AR-308 mags, lowers and uppers.
300 Win Mag is a Long Action cartridge much like 30-06, so the bolt would literally not close in your upper receiver, it wouldn't fit in any mags, and it wouldn't fit through the mag well.
GLFA has redesigned the platform ever so slightly to accommodate the larger round by repositioning the safety; enlarging the mag well; developing proprietary magazine(s) and moving the ears of the charging handle forward to allow for the longer throw on ejection; among other things.
I'm fascinated by this design marvel and that's not all they also chamber it for other common hunting rounds. Specifications are listed below.

The all new GL10 LA (long action) may look like your standard AR-10, and it's even the same size - but its patent pending design packs a MUCH. BIGGER. PUNCH! Introducing the first caliber of the series, the .300 Win Mag. Solid, accurate, and able to go the distance... you can't afford to hunt without it!

Finally a semi auto 300 win mag that most people can afford.
Facts, I wanted one but I'm not paying 3-4k+ for a 300 win mag build
I paid more for my RPR in .300wm. I doubt this Ar would be as accurate but I could do a lot with this rifle I can’t do with my RPR, like carry it and shoot or tactical it out. I would lighten it up first to get it as low as humanly possible.
@naturalbornkillr I want a 300wm but I'd want something smaller in size wise this things huge
@@MartellOutdoors I got a Noreen .300 WM with a 16" barrel. Very compact.
@@Beltfedshooters price?
I own one! Love it! The biggest down side to it is that it is heavy. You definitely will want a sling if you intend to carry it for hunting.
any issues with it?
How's the accuracy
@@goneblown2 have had a chance to get out past 150yds with it yet, but at that range, it does a 3” or less group with Fedral ammo. Not “cheap” but not necessarily the good stuff either.
@@goneblown2 still breaking too.
@@goneblown2 also from a crappy rest.
I've got several of these inbound and I've been watching for videos since I ordered them last week to post for our customers. I appreciate you taking the time to make one.
Awesome!! Thanks for watching and if you like our content please subscribe to help let UA-cam know it’s valuable
Any special requests let me know 👍👍
Have you sold any? Have you gotten any feedback? I've been checking these out.
@@Actheman1978I’ve got the 300 win mag and the 30-06 both are great but the mags absolutely suck
I have one too. The magazine is heavy duty to say the least. Easy to load. Heavy. But it works. Which is what you want.
Just picked one up this wknd.. pleased so far! Haven't had a chance to dial it in yet,hopefully this wknd
Awesome! I want want …
Are you still satisfied with it?
I have #393, great rifle!
I want to see 100 yard 3 shot group with off the shelf ammo
I’ll see they’ll send me one or loan me one
I've got one. Definitely MOA. Idk how to post a pic on UA-cam .
@@Jsteele1962
How about at 300
I'm interested, but if they were going to do some significant redesign to make it work with the longer action, I think I'd have preferred if they figured out how to do side charging. Thank you for at least covering it as few people are.
i got my eyes on one, and if all goes well i will have it tomorrow. fingers crossed.
Awesome! I want one as well
Did you get it? What do you think? I’ve been looking at this, a BAR and a BRX1. I’d prefer this one due to price and capacity.
Thinking of buying a couple of these, but the "proprietary" comments I don't like. If the company goes belly up in 10 years, you're SOL.
Just sent an email recently. They responded today saying they will be selling spare parts in a couple of months. ✌️
Yeah I got one in 6.5 prc and the mags are $90

I wish they would have chamfered some of the receivers sharp edges. They are clearly building to a budget but I’d rather pay a few bucks more to have the 90° machined edges removed.
I got a GL10 30-06 right over a month ago. Sent it back once because it would NEVER cycle all 5 rounds. Got it back and now you can not pull back the charging handle at all with 4-5 rounds in it. I have nothing good to say about this company.
Wow. That sucks
Better off buying a browning bar in 300 winmag for about the same price.
Stainless barrel ? Wonder how many rounds of 300win mag the barrel can handle …
Probably just as many as any other gun that’s running the cartridge for thousands of rounds
Would love to see someone measure the GL-10 up against a $5K+ Nemo Arms Omen.
It doesn't have to be just as good, but maybe it is. Or lets see how close it gets.
I’ve never met the guys from NEMO and I go to 4-6 industry range days a year. Maybe someday
Bought there rifle in ar10 30-06 new. Dust bolt cover doesnt stay shut. Miss fires even tried different trigger. Jams when feeding from clip. Bolt dosent stay open with empty clip even pulling it all the way open with charging handle..if push upward on clip it will stay till you relase the pressure. All there reviews doesnt show accuray on paper. You will have to change there break if you want better than 4 inch group. Porly built!!
It’s a magazine not a “clip”
I haven’t got to get my hands on for an actual review but do value the feedback until I do get to review one properly.
Sorry for that. Just very disappointed with the rifle. There is allot of issuses with this rifle other things i didnt mention. I ve built allot of ar15 and ar 10. Never had these issues with any ive built.@@MudLakeRanch
I just got one today for $1095 at my local gun shop
@@Oillife-kk2yb look forward to hearing how it runs!
I have one at a LGS that is on hold for me
Anyone go ANYTHING bad or good to say about it
Just bought the GLFA 6.5 creedmoor in pursuit green camo any videos for it?
@@neilhammers8711 I wish. I cannot get them to reply to my emails to do full review on this.
So does this mean there may be one on 338 lapua?!
@@tylerwolfley2689 already been done by DRD a while ago, they are closed down now. I would expect to see .338 Norma from everyone now. Ohio Ordnance is making some firepower in that “Reapr”
After break in what can I expect for accuracy out of the 7mm mag or 300 mag. Looking. For a rifle that can take elk and moose from distances around the 400 yards mark. I’d like to be able to stretch its legs with some long distance shooting too.
Also what kinda recoil am I looking at, I’ve shot 7mm RUM and 300 mag bolt guns before along with rifles like the SFAR and FN-FAL.
I’ve never used this other than at this range day. I would personally prefer a bolt action at the distances you are looking to hunt
Hmmmmm how many of the parts are interchangeable
Buffer tube, Lower parts kit, 5/8 X24 threaded barrel, Charging handle Latch, Buffer spring and gas block. BCG is not. However I believe the cam pin is like a standard 308.
Bipod manufacturer???
I don’t know
Does it cycle well? I have seen reviews that they jam....
@@YourState-pq4zs I only shot this one this one time on a video. No issues that day
Yes it jam. I got the 270 win, I like the look of it but shooting wise not really. Their bolt carrier is 💩
Does anyone like theirs that they bought?
I don’t own one yet. I’m hoping they send me a loaner to do a more up close video for y’all
Yes I like mine. Especially for the price. Hardly any play between upper and lower. Changed trigger. Trigger pins fit perfect in the lower. No wiggle. (So many entry level AR rifles are out of spec.) Pins shouldn’t just slip in. M-lok cuts in hand guard are also tight. The magpul rail literally snaps lightly in place. Literally no movement back and forth. Hand guard has no sharp edges. Now the upper receiver had sharp edges inside. And the blocks the take down pins slide through. Not much paint on the inside of the upper receiver. So four hundred grit sand paper. Didn’t take but a few minutes to knock the edges down. Stainless buffer spring and nickel plated buffer. Nitrided bolt carrier. Only thing I didn’t like was the firing pin is held in place by a roll pin you have to punch out. After I break it in I will be installing a POF roller cam pin. It looks like a standard 308 size. I did email. But the representative reply they thought it was. I always shoot a hundred rounds to let the stock cam pin break in. So often you will see wear marks. That way I’m less likely to scuff up the new one. Took the muzzle break off to inspect the crown and to see the rifling. Looked great. I also prefer a break that doesn’t have holes on the bottom. Went with a LMT four chamber break. The charging handle itself is long. And only theirs will fit. But I did which out the latch to an extended latch from Strike Industries. Gun is test fired from the factory. I Noticed the buffer had three marks from the retaining pin hitting it. So I have a Galloway Precision off set pin on the way to fix that. I did notice the rear take down pin didn’t have that positive click when I pushed it all the way in. I thought it had a weak spring. Took it apart. The spring was fine. But when I tilted it back to have the plugger fall out. A small roll pin fell out. Yeah it’s the same size as a plugger. But it isn’t pointed on the end. I happen to have a spare. So all is good now. The charging handle latch roll pin was too long. It was digging into the receiver. So tapped it out just enough to use a dremal to grind it down a few thousands. I went through the whole rifle. And everything was tight. Had to go with a Luth PRS stock. Because I had to be able to move the cheek riser back to clear the extra long charging handle. Also you can’t use a Ambi safety selector. One side of the receiver has a ridge hanging over the top. Hard to explain. But clearance issues because the receiver is beefed up on that side. Magazine is made out of thick aluminum. Feels heavy duty. After dreaming about other 300 Winchester Magnum AR rifles. This one is great because it is affordable. And I can upgrade it the way I want. Built a few LR308’s over the years. If they spent a little more time on deburring the receivers. I think they could definitely charge more. I am not a gunsmith. But was a certified car mechanic. Owned a bicycle shop for over fifteen years. So have a mechanical back ground. If you want to learn about AR rifles. Watch School of the American Rifle. Sorry for the long posting. But I hope that it might help someone else figure out if this might be a good rifle for them.
@@p47rr thanks for commenting! Very helpful
@@p47rr thank you for commenting
Installed a POF roller pin cam. It is really smooth now.
Also l normally use a light grease in my AR10s and AR15s. However with this rifle it burns it off fast. So now I use Mobile one synthetic grease. Same thing I use on my AKs and Garand. Coat the BCG rails.
Yeah, FAIL!
They went out of their way to make this rife design silly & this unreliable.
1. Idiotic single stack magazine (should have simply scaled up SR-25 magazines).
2. Lack of understanding of gas systems and powder characteristics of long action/magnum action ammo. The gas system should have been a Rifle Length + 3” at a minimum.
3. Silly BCG design. Should have elongated an AR-10 carrier and only made a custom bolt for the magnum bolt face with dual extractors.
4. It’s the 2020s. The trigger should have just been a Geiselle.
This is a lesson in how not to “design” an AR.
Very specific! Thanks. Have you spent a lot of time with this firearm? I have not. Just this short range experience.
Single stack mag 🤢🤢
For the price I'm only griping at the five rounds. It'd not bad.
@@andrewlaughbon9468 100 bucks a mag
300 win mag is a fat cartridge. Unless you totally redesign the lower, single stack is your only option. My 450 bushmaster and 458 socom are both single stack. I would rather have a 5 round mag because that makes it legal to hunt with, at least in my state.
@@glennogborn4692 you Trumptards love eating shit sandwiches. Double stack magazines or go home.
@@glennogborn4692 ahh yes making excuses for bad products, love the far rights excuse machine
