I am surprised...In the market today that it is not priced at 100k...
If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Me three. Turnbull does nice work...but you generally pay for it. Excellent

I remember the original article and how it stopped me dead in my tracks and left my jaw hanging open the way only an unusually beautiful woman generally does.

I believe the kids today would call that gun "Fap Worthy".  Big Grin

Dude, are you saying that that is a PIG??? 
 
It is a "collector's piece"... what good it is, I don't know.  HOWEVER, it IS beautiful.  The wood, the artwork... AMAZING.  Why anyone would want that on a rifle, I'll never understand.  I can't own a rifle I can't bring myself to shoot.  I had a custom 30-06 built... Most beautiful hunting rifle I have ever held... Wood was amazing, it had a special "patina" to the bluing, receiver etchings of hunting scenes... just amazing.  I traded it to a builder for my fireplace in my house because I could not bear to take it to the woods... I fired it 3 times, my gunsmith fired it 3 times before that and the RifleWerks builder fired it 3 times.  Super accurate... under 1/4 inch at 100yds. 
I'm too rough on hardware to own something like that... I can't just look at and I can't bring myself to shoot. 
That AR is one of the most amazing pieces of art I've ever seen... in a rifle... I could never bring myself to purchase it, even if I were wealthy... what purpose would it serve???
I would like to hold it just once, though...

Yes, firearms can be examples of fine artwork thus displaying the very fine interaction of brain and hand.
 
I would certainly like to look at it for real and would promise not to touch. Can't touch anything in the museum also.
 
All my rifles, which I regard as tools, show signs of wear and much use, so something like the Turnbull AR would be beyond my ownership qualifications.

Pretty much how I feel about my new Remington, and it is nothing like this rifle. I am used to my tactical stocks, which look better with dings and a couple different layers of Krylon!

While the standard black or OD AR is indeed a functional pig that AR is truly a WORK of ART and beautiful in every way!  I'm with Dan after several WOWs!  I'd just have to shoot it and puff there goes the investment.
