(GunReports.com) — One of the 2013 SHOT Show auctions features a Doug Turnbull TAR-10 .308 Semi-Automatic. The 2013 SHOT Show is set to run Jan. 15-18 in Las Vegas.
These new high-quality Turnbull semi-automatic rifles in .308 were developed for the person that wants a one-of-a-kind AR, and this Serial # TAR-000001 is one-of-a-kind indeed.
The Turnbull TAR-10 was modeled after the DPMS LR 308. 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.
The 16″ 4150 chrome moly-vanadium barrel is equipped with a screw-on muzzle brake.
The gun is engraved by Adams and Adams featuring more than 50 inches of fine gold inlay.
The stock, fore-end, and pistol grip are hand select walnut by Lucent Solutions.
Most of the internal parts were supplied by DPMS. 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 1.5-6×42 T #60 Victory HT supplied by Carl Zeiss sports optics.
The scope is mounted using A.R.M.S. Quick release rings. The TAR-10 comes with 10-round and four-round magazines.
