    Turnbull & JP Rifles Heavy Metal AR10 Build

    Turnbull TAR-40 rifle, serial number TAR40-019 has its barrel, bolt, bolt carrier, and buffer all by JP Rifles, a trigger by Geissele, a Radian Raptor charging handle, an Ace stock, and a Hammerhead pseudo-grip; topped with a U.S. Optics MST-100 scope in steel Badger Ordnance rings, with a Trijicon RMR red dot sight for backup.

    Is that hammerhead a California compliance thing?

    Alas, that it is.

    I haven't seen the hammerhead before. It looks a bit less silly than some other CA compliant mods.

    I just don’t get it. I like the case-hardened look on a Winchester. Looks odd on a stainless barreled AR-10. Great scope. What is the purpose of the full picatinny rail? If the customer changes their mind and wants to add backup sights, or night vision? You are using a fancy case hardened finished AR-10 for night hunting?

    The case hardening looks nice but seems out of place without wood furniture.

    Nice build but that "grip" is an abomination against humanity!
    What if this whole crusade's a charade?
    And behind it all there's a price to be paid
    For the blood which we dine
    Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…

    So, the upper and lower are steel? Or can the case hardening be applied to aluminum? If so, that's something I didn't know.

    I suppose I subscribe to the “pretty is, as pretty does” mantra and would reasonably expect that this shoots exceptionally well, but what is the goofy grip about?
    Is it a prone shooting thing?

    It's a Ca. featureless build...no protruding pistol grip. There's all kinds of iterations of the faux grip.
