gose 17 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Anyone here had a chance to look at the Rhino Arms AR10 shotgun at Shot? From the limited information available, it sounds really cool, an upper that slips right onto your SR25/DPMS style lower. Kinda expensive, but if it works, I'll definitely take a closer look.

ToysRUs 8 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 $2,800 of expensive. Maybe avail by fall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cad_man 4 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Looks very promising, even have a California compliant version. I think I'll be watching this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel Katt 6 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 You could probably have 2 of the new Firebird offering at that price... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MLM0358 107 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I saw it at SHOT and looked it very closely. Very nicely designed and crafted gun. I think it's going to be a winner. As noted, not for those on a budget. However, to keep it in perspective, guys who have S12 based race guns for competition easily easily have that much money their S12s. I'd love to try one.

gose 17 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 $2,800 of expensive. Maybe avail by fall. If you're looking for a plinker then yes, 2800 is a tad much, However, looking at race guns, the Tac 12a1 is said to be around $2000 and an R&R Race Saiga is somewhere north of 3000, so if Rhino can get a race gun out for around 3k, they're in the same ballpark price wise. Especially since you could buy a .308 upper and use the same lower. Its interesting that its taken so long for anyone to try and bring an AR10 based shotgun to market, but if this turns out well, I'm sure we'll see a slew of copycats in the next few years. Key is going to be reliability and magazines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cad_man 4 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 This isn't the first attempt at an AR10 shotgun. The RAS-12 could have been a winner, but proprietary ammo is pretty much a sales killer. If Rhino makes magazine feed issues go away then I'll be in line to get one.

CrawfishStu 0 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Mag feeding is the whole point. How much are the mags going to be as well? How many rounds? How long until companies are making parts? Well in one vid I saw that she said 5 and 10 round mags were the "last piece". Maybe 20 rounders and a drum down the line Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe 20 rounders and a drum down the line With it being based on an AR10 there's a lot of stuff available already, so parts shouldnt be too much of an issue, as long as Rhino can keep up and stay in business. AFAIK, 10 rounders will be offered and they claim they're already talking to someone who will make mag extensions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james lambert 3,059 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I looked at it as well, nice gun. They said mags were 7 months out. and TAC-12a1 is $1860.00 Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They said mags were 7 months out. and TAC-12a1 is $1860.00 Jim Are the mags steel or polymer? 1860? Damn, I guess the value of Tac12s just dropped a few hundred Edited February 22, 2014 by gose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gose 17 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Seems like their "No later than August" isnt going to hold up. Wonder if it was harder to get it to run than they thought? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
