There are few model's of the AR10 what model?

Are you looking for a basic model, or a tricked out one? There is quite a difference in prices between different makers of the AR10 types of rifles. Do you have a manufacturer in mind? Am I correct in thinking that you are looking for a 308 rather than a 260 or 6.5 Creedmoor or some other variant?

What I'm getting at is that there is lots more information that would help people know if what they have would fit into what you are looking for. The other item, of course is cost. I wouldn't expect (nor recommend) that you advertise what you want to spend, but information on the other items would really help.

Manufacturer preference:
cartridge preference:
barrel length:
stock preference:
ejection port cover or no:
muzzle brake or not:
tactical charging handle or not:
ambi safety:
tactical bolt release:
match trigger:
anti-rotation pins:
gas block type:
type of fore end:
large mag release button:
ambi bolt release
flat top, iron sights, no sights:
removable carry handle, or fixed carry handle:
new or used:

Any additional information will help people help you. As the OP hasn't been back to this thread in almost a month, there is a good chance this was a passing fancy, and they have moved on.

There is only one AR-10 and that is Armalite and I don't think he was serious.

I realize that Armalite is the only maker of a true AR10, but many people refer to any of the Stoner based 308 offshoots of the M16 as an AR10 regardless of who makes them. With the lack of specificity in his request, I suspected that the OP might have been one of those people.

At the very least, I would have specified barrel length, and whether I wanted a target, or standard model. That, along with the lack of follow up on the thread makes your "I don't think he was serious" comment very accurate. I couldn't agree with you more about that.

I want one too! But not enough to pay for one!

I think the DPMS variants of the AR10 are pretty reasonably priced. MSR is about $1100 for a base model. If you have a friend with an ffl, you can probably do better. The problem with the DPMS rifles VS the Armalite AR10 is quality control. My guess is that over 98% of the Armalite rifles work just fine with zero problems..the other 2% may have minor issues. With DPMS rifles, it is about a 50% proposition. You might get one that is really accurate, or you might get one that requires a return to DPMS.

I think the best option is if you can find someone who is selling a used DPMS rifle, and will let you test fire it first. That way, you can check function and accuracy before you buy...and you don't pay for the initial depreciation that guns and new cars get. Whoever drives it off the lot the first time, or walks out of the gun store door with the firearm pays for the privilege of having that "new gun" or "new car" smell. Allow them that pleasure, then buy the firearm from them after they have put a hundred rounds or so through it.

I just put up my RRA just in case anybody wants one. Or I might let go of one of my Armalites.
