     Paragon Sales and Services Inc XM-10 Advertisment circa 1982



  Before Armalite started production of the AR-10 series of semi-auto rifles for civilian purchase, there was the XM-10.  Paragon Sales and Services Inc was a popular dealer of military style weapons from the 1980's all the way until the early 2000's. I bought of a great deal of ammo from them and loved their ads in Shotgun News for most of the 90's.  Close to 200 Portuguese parts sets were assembled on Telko Inc.'s  machined-aluminum semiauto receivers and sold as the XM-10. The price tag back then was $1200. These rifles had a cult following for some time and were the holly grail for some collectors.
