21st Tec is excited to expand the AR10 (DPMS/LR308 Pattern) market with the release of the TEC-GIII Rifle, a refined platform chambered in .308/7.62 NATO and 6.5 Creedmoor. The TEC-GIII rises to meet the demands of both enthusiasts and professionals by integrating the proven functionality of G3 magazines with the familiar and trusted components of the AR10 platform.
Featuring a Direct Impingement (DI) system, the TEC-GIII is available with a choice of barrel lengths: a 16-inch option chambered in .308/7.62 NATO with a 1:10 twist for balanced maneuverability or a 20-inch variant with a 1:8 twist chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor for long-range precision. The rifle’s receivers are precision-machined from Billet T6 Aircraft Aluminum, ensuring a solid foundation for sustained durability. An adjustable gas block enables the rifle to be tuned for suppressor use, while the controls adhere to the standard safe and semi-automatic settings for user familiarity.
The TEC-GIII caters to operator comfort with a Mil-Spec buffer tube, a 6-position adjustable CCS Carbine stock, and a THRIL RTG grip, allowing for a customized fit. A 15-inch M-LOK handguard, featuring an integrated MIL1913 Rail, offers ample space for accessories. The rifle’s balance is optimized with a weight of 8.5lbs and an adjustable overall length from 35 to 39 inches, providing a comfortable and adaptable shooting platform. Additionally, the TEC-GIII is fitted with a Nickel Boron Trigger for a smooth, consistent pull and a Flash Hider with 5/8×24 muzzle threads.
The rifle is available in two durable finishes: Type III Hard Coat Anodized Black or FDE. Enhancing its value, the TEC-GIII ships with three high-quality German-made G3 magazines. The specially designed BCG operates seamlessly with G3 metal magazines and is complemented by a cam-pin wear plate located in the upper receiver.

I don’t get it. Magpul mags work great in my 3 AR10’s. Why reinvent the wheel with another platform? Trying to stay current is important I guess but this new lower doesn’t improve anything.
