i don't know what you guys (or gals) think but is it bad that you have your cart full and gift card spent before it even arrives?

Are larue'stealth ring reducers just plastic inserts? I did not receive any with my lower or stomp mount though I ordered them.
|
|
|
|
no,they are metal

How does the weight of the Tranquilo muzzle brake/adapter (5.56) compare to others "equivalents" in the market? For that matter, how much does it actually weigh? Im looking at one as an option for my Q3 purchase. Actually using a suppressor is not an option until we get out of ill annoy someday but its received good reviews as a brake, it is a LaRue item, and I do still need a muzzle device for one of the rifles.
Thanks |

Thanks Pic was too big... But it is 4.5 oz according to a scale my wife uses to mail out packages. Thanks! My current 20" Stealth barrel and 1.0 upper receiver parts upper (ALG rail and Sidewinder muzzle brake) took a standard noname lower to over 9.5 pounds unloaded. I'm thinking a rifle that heavy might as well be built on the Q1 Stealth 2.0 chassis, and I'd put a lighter 16" PredarAR barrel and the ALG parts on the 1.0 upper and noname lower; another 4.5 ounces for the Tranquilo adapter on the heavy is probably not going to be an issue, and someday I'll be out of ill annoy and able (and eager) to get a suppressor. Of course I'm presuming from the pictures that the 2.0 chassis is a little heavier than an average upper and hand guard... |

I think UPS delivered instead of USPS because I happened to have other UPS deliveries come at the same time. |
|
|
Gotta love the timing, I just got back from picking up my lower and just as I was about to close the garage door I heard the UPS truck. I paused for a moment and they pulled up and handed me my gift card in a padded envelope.
|
|
|
Same, gift card in a padded envelope directly from UPS.
|
|
|
Mine said delivered but I don't see it around here anywhere....
Maybe ups lied. And maybe spousal unit intercepted. will report back tomorrow or nice knowing you (my son has dibs on guns and ammo - sorry yall) |

Finally ordered my Q3 gift card this morning. Changed to complete almost immediately.
WTB 22" 260 barrel now. |
|
|
q3 order inbound, will be here tomorrow.... if only that upper chasis from q1 would show up soon
1 X 5.56 Stealth Barrel (LB-556-120-AC1TS) 1 X LaRue TranQuilo 5.56 Muzzle Brake/Adapter (LT-TQ556) 1 X LaRue Tactical SPR / M4 Scope Mount QD LT104 (LT104-30) 1 X LaRue Receiver Extension for 5.56/7.62 Carbine / LT629 (LT629-15C) All in stock |
|
|
Last minute but my card is on the way. Then a stealth bbl, lower parts and all the other items to finish my build til the 4th qtr. That is going to be a tuff one to figure out. I wonder what ML will come up with next.
|
|
|
So where's the 4th quarter BuildAr thread?
|
|
|
Haven't received my gift card yet, but planning to put it towards a .260 tOBR

This one should hopefully start thinning out the list. No mention of mulligans, but I expect to see a couple people complain about it or try and plead with ML to stay get back on. Would have liked to see some actual parts for this QTR, but hey the gift card works fine.

Haha I agree completely and if I die I will provide my account information to my children to keep going.

Well leave it to UPS to give my gift card to the wrong person. Delivered and signed for by someone I don't know. Hopefully it can be cancelled and a new one sent.

I'd like a BCG also but I don't know that it's worth hoping to end the program over. I'd like to see next years BuildAR be even better than this years. How about Q1 be a 7.62 lower. Q2 be 7.62 upper with hand guard. Q3 be barrel maybe even the 260 option. Q4 be BCG. Maybe a mag each quarter and then Q1 2017 we start on the polymer for it. But, I'm happy with whatever Mark and LT choose. This is a great way to build some quality hole punchers. |

Found the package! must be a new UPS guy because he put the envelope in between the screen and wooden doors of the "front" door nobody uses...
Whew! I was beginning to panic the sandwich maker threw it out or someone else snagged it! So I think I've devised a plan for it (albeit kinda boring...) so just figured I'd share... 1. LT Receiver Extension 2. Gas Block / Tube 3. Polymer Kit (between Black and UDE...not sure yet...) Then I'll most likely save the rest for a combination of Holiday Dillo 6 pack and Quarter 4 |

Now that my card has arrived (today, yahoo) if I should go with the extension or the stock combo that has the spring and buffer along with the extension.
|

Holding off spending the gift card until the Q4 BuildAR offering is going to be quite difficult. At least the barrel sale runs until the end of December..... I should be able to decide which I want by then.

There's also the impending .260 barrels

As it stands now I'll have 3 choices: register all my AR's and AK's as assault weapons (CA words not mine), install AR maglocks (requiring me to open the action to drop a mag) or become a felon if caught in possession of an AR/AK without doing option 1 or 2. In all honesty I mainly got in on the whole BuildAR list hoping that year 2 would allow me to do a 7.62 build...... Then gunmageddon happened. |

However I have a rat stock and do not need another right now but I need an ext, castle nut, and buffer. I will probably get the LT Extension and pick up the other stuff. |

I know we have to select only LT made product. I am down to a small but ok amount left on my card. Are T-shirts available to put on the BuildAR card? I know I can always add a little to the order and pay the difference if I need to. Thought a couple shirts would round out the deal.
