This is a 338 Federal AR10 rifle from Chattahoochee Munitions. We have been building in less-mainstream calibers since our inception, on both AR and bolt-action platforms. 8.6BLK, 243 Win, 22-250 Rem, 338 Spectre, 400 Legend, 338 Federal, etc. Experience building with various lowers, uppers, and handguards, both low- and high-profile, allowed us to weigh the pros and cons and create our perfect version of the rifle.
This will be one of the sturdiest-feeling weapons as everything is designed in tight tolerances. All of our rifles are equipped with HIPERFIRE (High Performance Firearms) Triggers; all are 2.5lb single stage Reflex (curved) or Competition (straight with shoe) or X2S Mod3 2-Stage; Reflex is pictured, Odin Adjustable Buffers, and Superlative Arms adjustable gas blocks.

Unrivaled Big-Game Dominance with the CM10 338 Federal AR10
When hunting large, tough game in dense timber or rugged country, standard cartridges often compromise on raw stopping power. The custom 338 Federal AR10 from Chattahoochee Munitions delivers maximum hard-hitting energy in a fast-cycling, semi-automatic package. Built on our custom-machined CM10 chassis, this high-performance rifle brings big-bore knock-down force directly to the semi-auto shooter without forcing you to carry a heavy, oversized magnum platform.
Whether you’re targeting elk, moose, or big black bears, a custom-tuned 338 Federal AR10 offers exceptional terminal ballistics combined with instantaneous follow-up shot execution.
Billet Precision & Match-Grade Component Engineering
Every 338 Federal AR10 built in our Roswell, Georgia custom shop is hand-assembled to ultra-tight tolerances. We eliminate upper-to-lower play, optimize cycling impulse, and guarantee rock-solid reliability with every round:
-
18″ 416R Stainless Steel 5R Barrel: Featuring a 1:10 twist rate, this barrel stabilizes heavy .338 caliber bullets with absolute surgical precision. The Tactical Grey Cerakote finish guards against harsh weather and field abrasion.
-
Superlative Arms Adjustable Gas Block: Managing heavy gas pressure is critical for large-caliber semi-autos. The patented forward bleed-off system reduces gas blowback, softens felt recoil, and makes running a silencer on your 338 Federal AR10 exceptionally clean.
-
HIPERFIRE Match Trigger Options: Choose between a 2.5lb Reflex single-stage (curved), Competition single-stage (straight shoe), or X2S Mod3 2-stage trigger for an exceptionally crisp break and lightning-fast reset.
-
Odin Adjustable Buffer & Low-Mass BCG: Coupled with our low-mass bolt carrier group, the adjustable buffer absorbs heavy rearward inertia, keeping your sights tracking straight on target for fast follow-ups.

The Ballistic Advantages of the 338 Federal AR10
By necking up a standard .308 Winchester case to hold .338 diameter projectiles, the 338 Federal AR10 generates significantly higher kinetic energy than a standard .308 Win out to 400 yards while utilizing the exact same short-action magazine well. The result is massive energy transfer, deep penetration, and high hydrostatic shock.
Building this caliber into a gas-operated 338 Federal AR10 platform smooths out the heavy recoil pulse of the .338 round, giving you a remarkably controllable big-bore semi-auto rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why choose a 338 Federal AR10 over a bolt-action rifle?
A 338 Federal AR10 combines the massive terminal shock of a .338 caliber bullet with rapid semi-automatic cycling. This allows you to stay on target and make lightning-fast follow-up shots on big game without breaking your sight picture or working a manual bolt.
2. Which magazines fit this 338 Federal AR10?
Because the .338 Federal cartridge uses the parent casing of the .308 Winchester, your 338 Federal AR10 feeds reliably out of standard AR10 / SR25 pattern 7.62x51mm magazines, such as the included 10-round Magpul PMAG.
3. Can I run a silencer on this 338 Federal AR10?
Yes! The 18″ 416R stainless barrel is threaded in standard 5/8×24 pitch and features a Superlative Arms adjustable gas block. You can select your preferred muzzle device host (SilencerCo, Dead Air, Q, YHM, Rugged) at checkout to easily adjust gas flow for suppressed shooting.
4. What upper and lower receiver pattern is used for this build?
Our CM10 receiver set is CNC machined from 7075-T6 billet aluminum following SR25 pattern dimensions and DPMS High Profile specifications (including 16TPI barrel nut threads) for maximum component compatibility.
5. What is the current production lead time for a 338 Federal AR10?
Current custom order build time for the 338 Federal AR10 is approximately 2 weeks from the purchase date to shipment to your transferring FFL dealer.
