The upper and lower receivers are made from 8620 carbon steel that has been color case hardened with the Turnbull bone charcoal process. The upper receiver has a built-in high rise Picatinny rail, eliminating the need for scope risers.

Rifle has a Geiselle 2-stage trigger."When I first saw this gun, it just about buckled my knees," commented Jim Bequette, Editor of Guns and Ammo and firearms publishing veteran. "It was the most beautiful AR I had ever seen. The color case-hardened receiver is extraordinary."Bequette wrote an editorial praising this TAR-10. An original copy of the Guns & Ammo issue containing that editorial signed by Mr. Bequette-will also go to the high bidder for this Serial No. TAR-000001.The rifle comes equipped with appropriately high-end optics, a Zeiss 1.5-6x42 T #60 Victory HT supplied by Carl Zeiss sports optics.The scope is mounted using A.R.M.S. Quick release rings.As gorgeous as it is, the TAR-10 is a very serious rifle and comes with 10-round and four-round magazines.agazines.

98Z5V Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I believe it was proposed in another thread that Tom purchase this. <laughs>...and it wasn't funny, either... :oI've been looking at this, for quite awhile. As soon as the new AWB kicks in, and I can't build any more ARs, I'll be looking for things to do. That'll be the point that I do something like this. And finally get the .338 LM going. <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 If this AWB goes down, I'm using my discounted tuition to brush up on my CAD skills, then I'm buying a CNC machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'd still throw something at that, just to try to knock a hip outta socket. Give her a limp, or something, maybe something that would last for life. I'd break that, just for you guys. <thumbsup>She'd be saying my name forever...

flatwins Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Saw this one on Gunbroker. The case hardening is beautiful but being made from steel ya gotta wonder how much the thing weighs. Not that it would matter since I can't see it doing a lot of woods time. ;)Oh, and Feinstein is batshit crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
