    Turners making changes?

    This might have been posted already... but I was at a turners today, and they had a flyer up to pre-order complete AR's... looks like they'll be carrying LWRC complete rifles one model in 5.56 and another in .308 , also talked to the guy behind the counter about it... said no stripped lowers "yet" but either way... definitely a cool move for them!

    Yup, ever since the new ownership took over earlier this year, they have been steadily moving into the OLL market. First it was "permanent" maglocked VZ58s, then it was featureless AKs, now they are doing setscrew maglocked ARs. They haven't embraced the "bullet is a tool" concept to allow for bullet button type maglocks yet, but perhaps in the future?

    Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

      sounds good.

      Now Turners needs to open a location somewhere north of SLO county.

        They need to work on employee education as well.
        I was in Turners last night and overheard a customer asking for AR15 mags.
        I don't remember the employee's verbal response, but there was a lot of Hmm... Ahh... and the look on his face was as if the guy had asked for plutonium.

          So far they dont have many accessories but the AR and AK variants are coming in. They still wont dros just any lower and they follow the new prince 50 radlock BB path but things are changing

            I was at Turners today...saw that they are advertising that they will be getting an initial batch of 10 Charles Daly AR-15s....no plans to offer OLL's yet.

                Turners should get rid of all that junk that has been on the racks for 10+ years and start carrying all the latest gear for a decent price comparable to buying online.

                  Finally, some change we can believe in.

                    I was hunting .357 ammo yesterday (yeah - from places that won't fingerprint me this time) and dropped into Signal Hill Store... I happened to get within earshot of the guy behind the counter doing an extemely competent explanation of OLL and how the BB should be installed for most reasonable use... Maybe he is a CalGunner (and thus not the typical Turner's guy), but I was really impressed at the knowledge, combined with the willingness to spend time to explain it...

                      LWRC is delivering CA compliant rifles to CA FFLs hence taking the liability issue off the table for them.

                      A big +1 to LWRC for supporting the 2nd in CA!

                          They're just jumping on something that makes money is all... most of the employees prolly won't even know the legals and will get people in trouble and send the antis in more of a frenzy. Awesome Turners.

                            I love it. First people *****ed that Turners wouldn't deal in the off-list market, and now that they have started dealing in off-list stuff, people still *****.

                              Good! More people that are aware of what you can legally own here and how to configure it, the better.
