Hellbreaker receiver before. If you haven't, here's a great picture of one: Along the same lines as the Hellbreaker, Sharps Bros. has announced the availability of Warthog, a custom AR-15 lower receiver intended for shooters who enjoy shooting at feral swine. They say the Warthog, like other Sharps Bros. products, offers a number of aesthetic and performance improvements over the standard M4/AR-15 receiver. If you ask us, it reminds us Bebop in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons (and this isn't a bad thing). No word if there is going to be a Rocksteady version anytime soon. Per the manufacturer: Warthog’s features include: • A distinctive boar’s face machined into the magazine well • An oversized integral trigger guard for maneuverability, even when wearing gloves • A beautifully beveled magazine flare • Machined top to bottom from 7075-T6 aluminum, a peak-strength corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy • A hard coat anodize finish per MIL-A-8625, the anodizing standard for most military and aerospace products • Full compatibility with all mil-spec internal parts • Full compatibility with all other aftermarket mil-spec upper receivers • Full compatibility with GI standard issue magazines as well as PMags • Multi caliber mark You can read more about Sharps Bros. here.
