Are they pretty reliable nowadays? I remember shooting the 9mm carbine a couple of years ago and it was jam-o-matic! I'd consider getting one if it functions well! 👌

I believe in shopping around for the best price, however Turners being corporately owned, can buy in bulk quantities and offer better prices than most "mom and pop" shops. Plus recently have been carrying more high end and wide selection. I've never had a problem with them and plan on giving them more business

Turner's in Kearny Mesa did have a featureless Ruger ar556 for $850 with the Hera cqr stock/grip. However, it was only a test sell by the manufacturer.

Only ran 2-300 rounds so far, but ran fine.
The factory mag was flawless, but the aftermarket mag, (which I can't recall the name right now) was consistently causing failures to feed.

The current price on their website is $99.99...so are we talking $150? $200?
But be that as it may, USUALLY, I've noticed that Turners have prices comparable or below LGSs.

Was at the Orange store earlier drosing a pistol. They had a decent supply of featureless hipoints, and some other weird looking carbine (9mm with clear mag..just right carbine?) and I think 1 other featureless rifle. They had juggernaut tactical 308 stripped lowers in a variety of colors.

Thumbs up to Turners. Prices weren't any higher then normal asking. A range finder I was looking at is $100 cheaper at turners then riflegear for the same exact model, and no special sales.

I think it looks best with flat tops or target models because it looks futuristic.
Looks kinda strange with classic sights.

The FRS-15 Thordsden stock problem is it bites the webbing between your thumb and finger thanks to the stock not flushed with the end plate and that area isn't rounded but sharp. It probably isn't popular because of the abstract look.

I wish we had a Turners up in the Bay Area. I wouldn't mind picking up a couple of the High Points.

Turner's price gouging huh? How can anyone with even a basic understanding of economics suggest that prices increasing during a time when supply is down and demand is up for a good that is not a necessity is price gouging? If you want to buy an AR/AK, you had several months to buy one, no one forced buyers to wait until the last minute.

Turners has been a huge supporter of 2A rights in CA. They sponsor many matches and contribute to the cause. It's ridiculous when people crap on them for no good reason.

From what I recall, a bill doing just that actually made it to gov Brown's desk but he vetoed it in 2013. I wouldn't be surprised if they just reintroduce that same legislation this year since they are emboldened by him signing 75-80% of what they passed.

People who WANTED to pay the cheaper prices so they get emotional about the laws of supply and demand...despite, as you said, neglecting to get one before any of the price increases happened.

its call supply and demand, its simple economics.

if you are crying about the prices that means that you took it upon yourself to wait until the last minute to buy, cant blame turners for that.

aside from that turners has always been over priced so I don't see why that comes as a surprise to any one

I predict when this happens, people will never give up their ARs, they will just gimp them to single shot straight pull as the Brits have had to do. At that point, all of my semi-autos will leave the state for storage and my bolt actions will become primary. I will never convert my ARs and AKs to straight pull single action. At that point, bolt actions become better.

yea, I saw LGS's selling stripped Anderson lowers for $120, and this was in like August... Supply and Demand is a fact of life

(Ever buy tickets to a Giants/Dodgers game? Try those same tickets when the Tampa Bay Rays come to town....)

That said, if you don't like the price, don't buy the item.

I don't LIKE to shop online, but when I can save 20% of my purchase (AFTER paying a FFL the transfer fees and shipping) I have to go that route. Usually there are many sources to get an item if you don't like the price...

lastly, I am not saying they did, but maybe Turners supplier of Anderson lowers bumped the price of the stripped units, and to stay within a profit margin Turners had to adjust with their materials cost increase?

As long as gun stores keep firearms on the shelf, they are okay in my book. Even if I cant afford their profit margin, at least they are a source if other options start drying up...

Agreed. But have you noticed the various threads asking how to convert an AR into a bolt action? It's the silliest thing you could do to your gun but there are people here salivating to make the switch. Truly strange...

ALWAYS overpriced? Everything in their inventory is overpriced ALL the time? Proof please? "Overpriced" is a relative term. Compared to whom are they "overpriced"? Sure, accessories such as boresnake or mags tend to be more expensive than Amazon. But compared to other brick and mortar, they're not bad.

I think it's generally accepted as a stock, and not a pistol grip - but the DOJ hasn't given an opinion and there are those with concerns about it's legality. However, there are those with concerns about the legality of a grip fin, too. The most cautious people favor the Monsterman, Hammerhead, and U-15 due to the existence of court testimony by Frank Navarro regarding those items.

I think the reason the Thordsen isn't more popular is simply cost, looks, and the long length of pull - kydex grip fin and a roll pin for the stock is a pretty cheap way to go featureless. Adding a thread protector and normal magazine release is nice, but not needed from a legal point of view.

Our stock kits come with a rounded endplate. It you tried one that had a sharp endplate it's likely the time was not taken to change it.

All you have to do is check YouTube for a few videos of how their straight pull ARs work over there. At that point, a real bolt action like a Mossberg MVP or a Ruger Scout makes so much more sense than a totally hobbled AR.

Everything seems to be on hold because these new laws have created more gray areas and my guess is going featureless and not registering is going to backfire the new bill
