Taurus AR out soon... (possibly)

[IM_Lugger]

Taurus might be getting into AR business... at least must be thinking about it making this prototype.

They started making 1911's a few years back and doing pretty well with that model (I have one myself) so probably figured affordable AR would be well received by shooters as well.

but personally I hope they make one with a carry handle as well...not a fan of the flattop look.

I love the flat top but that muzzle break looks ghey and not very functional.

Clean looking AR otherwise.

that muzzle break looks ghey and not very functional.

Apparently it works as a flash supressor, rotated the other way it acts as a brake.

Some more info from another forum... (Pre-Production) receivers are billet. VLTOR Mod stock, match grade stainless cut rifling barrels in 1:8.

What is up with that funky looking receiver, weird shapes and serrations.....?

 

[Jarlath]

Looks like they are trying to be Vltor-ish in look.

Just what we need. Yet ANOTHER AR on the market. Sigh...

Figures since Charles Daly markets an AR already....

I 100% agree, although I think you meant it sarcastically. There can't be enough gun companies making AR's in my opinion, the more the merrier. The more the US hunters push them as the new (or next) natural progression of the "American" hunting rifle ALL THE BETTER. Hopefully we can get that line of thinking up here if enough of us complain about it, and discuss how good of a hunting rifle the AR platform is. I would love to hunt with my R-15 or my R-25.

Another commercial AR to get into the hands of shooters. One day there will be enough AR's and the price will go down......... one day......

*Stares dreamily into the horizon*

If they can make it piston driven, I'll get one.

 

[Armedsask]

It's a JAFR. Just Another f**kin' AR.

At least Ruger tried to do something a little different.

What I really would like from Taurus...

Taurus To Build Tavor Under License From IWI

Anyone heard anymore about this? Most recent stuff I can find is from the spring of this year.

 

[sillymike]

Until such a time when every shooter has at least one AR in their safe... there will be no such thing as too many AR manufacturers.

This been said, an affordable Tavor would be nice (to keep up busy until the T97 are released )

 

[dudley2112]

what about the charles daily AR's they have them in the US any way we might see some of those soon?

 

[Undergiver]

Judging by the gas block it looks like it is a piston driven setup.

That's why I mentioned the piston

Taurus building the Tavor!?

Does that mean the price will come down? Hmmm......

Not likely to ever see them in Canada, spoke to the Taurus rep at Shot Show and they cannot sell the rifle commercially, due to government regulations in Brazil.

Never say never.

While he may be 100% correct, it's also possible that he was not prepared for the demand for a semi-auto version, as they would be un-importable into thier biggest export market, the US.

This isn't something I'd drop after the first conversation.

Sean, how's your Portugese???

 

[IM_Lugger]

I think they have the license to be making them for the Brazilian military, not for commercial sale...

but the AR is a piston set up and if comes out will be available here!

 

[geeg]

I'd like to put in an order for the one on the right (in the case pic above).

Any delivery time lines?

 

[Passy357]

If the price drops, I would get one for sure!
