This book provides instructions on the operation and operator maintenance of the
ArmaLite
®
AR-10 SuperSASS™ (SemiAutomatic Sniper System). Read and understand
it carefully before you use the rifle. Your safety, and the safety of those around you,
depends on your knowledge of the rifle and on your knowledge of safety rules common
to all firearms.
The SuperSASS is a lightweight, gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed semiautomatic
rifle produced for a high degree of accuracy and reliability. The rifle’s construction
features extensive use of aircraft-grade forgings, with no die-cast or extruded parts
employed in the receivers. The patented bolt assembly provides higher strength than that
found on similar designs.
The SuperSASS is designed to fire all NATO STANAG or high-quality commercial
7.62mm ammunition. It can fire any NATO full metal jacket (FMJ) or open tip match
7.62mm/.308 Winchester ammunition that may be available.
Although the SuperSASS looks very much like an M16 series rifle, it actually employs
only a small number of M16 parts because few M16 parts are strong enough for a
7.62mm firearm. The similar design allows the operator to operate and maintain it the
same way he operates and maintains the M16 rifle, while employing almost all of the
same cleaning tools, cleaning solutions, and lubricants.
