May I present the FIRST LARUE .22LR COMPLETE RIFLE. It's finally done with a few more pics on PG3

As some of you may recall I was the January UHFO winner, well this is it. It came today. A few pics for you to look over. I will get it out this weekend to see how it runs. This is my first foray into this type of upper so it will be uncharted territory for me. I will post pics in the UHFO Contest Winner thread as well. Now I just need to figure out what optic if any that I will run on it. Primary Arms, Vortex, Aimpoint? I dunno? Might just run it Irons for a while. The upper is very nice. I like the diameter of the hand guard. I don't think I will run the covers on it. Just at the end for now. Will have to see how hot it gets. The length of pull for the charging handle is a lot shorter and does not require the same force of my other rifles. But that is what happens when the round is that much smaller. Will have to pick up a few more mags for it as well, they are Black Dog. I have it resting on my Rainier Zombie Lower. Will be placing an order for a Larue Lower ASAP. Well enough blabbing here are some pics. Range report will follow.









Im sure you all will have a few questions so fire away and Ill do my best to answer them.

Sir James...

Looks good. Enjoy!

Looks great - congratulations!

What's encoded in the QR code?

<––––––- Jealous

What type of bolt carrier does it use?

I assume it's different than a drop in conversion since it is dedicated.

BSA Sweet 22 like what is on this would do you good.


In LaRue rings of course

Very nice!

very nice!!!

Very done brothers!

I am a bit jealous!

Very nice! So do want...:)

Congrats and enjoy!

SWFA SS 12X

That's so cool! Congrats on winning!

Nice. Need one of those. Congrats again.

Get us a range report that's sick!

Nice...

I'd love to get my hands on one of those.

Geez I want that. Definitely ordering one if and when they are available. Pull the pins on my PredatAR upper and switch to .22LR? Bad ass.

Very nice! Envious!

You lucky bastard.

My brother has one too and scanned it and I think it took him to the rainier website

Hey you wanna sell it???

Wow!
I want one!!!!

me like

Really nice, I sure would like one.

Looks great and I'm sure you're going to have fun. Congrats

Day available..... Day ordering. That's nice !! Does the barrel say anything on it ? How long is the handguard? I run Federal ammo through mine. Some of the other stuff is slightly oversized and it doesn't like to function as well.

Mark, any ETA on these ?

Man, everyone is so tight lipped these days...

I was going to ask the same question.
When can us regular folk get our hands on one?

Well, dad blame, glad somebody got pics of it.

Send me one and I will gladly take pictures of it !! Already have the LaRue lower !!

Congrats! That's one bad ass looking rifle. Eagerly awaiting range report, I expect it to shoot at least minute-of-turkey-head.

A 22 upper would be lots of fun, Im not wild about conversion kits and the idea of running a lot of 22 rounds through an AR I need to depend on but this looks like a winner.

Very cool.

And I'll put it through it's paces too!

Hopefully we have some news about these soon.

I WANT ONE!

Got it out to the range this afternoon. All was well for the most part. Had a two stove pipes on the first couple of mags. They went away after that. One of the CMMG mags had fail to feed properly. I didnt mark it, but if it happens again I will. Only had one major stoppage, a double feed. Only happened once. Ran just at 400 rds through it. Winchester White box 38gr hollow point. Winchester X high velocity 40gr. American Eagle 40gr and some off brand that I do not recall the name. It was a hoot to shoot, lots of questions about it at the range. Did not really shoot it to see how accurate it was, the pic below is one mag through it. The sights were not adjusted at all, slapped them on the rail and tightened them down. Just shooting to see how it ran. Was shot in an indoor range at 25 yds. Here are a few pics.




Was pretty easy to clean up. The "BCG" if you will just slides out like normal. Although it is not captured. It then slides apart. Just hit it with some CLP and rag and blew it out with some air and put it back together. Ran a bore snake down it and wiped out the chamber area. Next time out I will take it an outdoor range for some accuracy tests.


Sir James...

Cannot wait to get my own.

Looks sweet!

Will these be full auto capable when they are released? I need a 22lr upper for my M16 RR.

Works for me. Build em !!

try it with mini mags

this

Glad you're enjoying it.

I have a 6x42 SS in a LT 104 LINK to Mount that I run sometimes and the 6x will have a 7mm exit eye pupil so very bright and not be too much power to hand hold which I think would be a really fine choice because you can dial in correction to compensate for the trajectory of a 22. These have about 120 moa of internal adjustment so you wont run out of adjustment even if you throw it on your .223 some of the time. The new mil quad reticle and change to 1/10 mil clicks will be out in a couple months at the same price under $300 for the optic so by the time you add a LT 104 you have a really nice set up for less than $500. which is still kind of spendy for a 22 scope since a 2-7 x28 Weaver rimfire is about $140 and a BAS Sweet 22 is about $100. but I dont reallly trust the BSA to hold up long term where the other two should last a life time.
You can get the LT 104 mount with a 1 inch ring for the 2-7x28 Weaver rimfire if you wanted to go that route and be in it about $350. I tend to think the better route to go is the SS with adjustable parallax or possibly a Vortex Viper PST and you could always use it as a back up optic for your other AR with the quick detach mount. Or you could use this as a good excuse to pick up a Comp M4s
Boy is that 22 Upper a thing of Beauty I would absolutely Love to have one of those.
