Same accuracy...it's the same barrel, just lighter profile. He said the PredatAR's were shooting 1/4 MOA. |

I don't remember if it was this thread or another, but "big" Mark said the rifle he was shooting did that. I'll see if I can find the actual quote.
ETA: My mistake....he said the 5.56 he shot was shooting about 3/4 MOA. Sorry about that. "The 16" I sighted in for Fingar for his video interviews shot a 5-shot .727" 100 yard group with Federal 77 gr. Gold Medal Match. It's the same barrel ... with the lathe left turned-on a little longer. " |

What he said was 0.727" at 100 yards with Federal 77 grain GMM out of a PredatAR 5.56; it's halfway down on page 6 of the "LaRue PredatAR Series OBRs in 5.56 and 7.62" thread. I do not doubt that the PredatARs are capable of great accuracy but I do want to know where you got your data. If you have new data please reference them. |

I wasn't being counterproductive, I gave you a chance to post a reference to your data claim to show it was correct. If you had newer data to support your claim then you could have proven yourself correct. I didn't post my rebuttal until you confirmed that you didn't have anything new. I'm not attempting to berate you, I have no reason to. |

Mark you should consider making a standard AR15 rail that looks like the PredatAR rail. I think it'd be a hit.

And I'm sure you are working on light mounts, hand stops, VFGs, sling mounts, etc. that can mount directly to the screw holes in the bottom and side rails as well. I remember somewhere that there were design/weight issues that precluded the placement of QD slight mounts in the rail. It will be interesting to look at the differences in this rail compared to the KAC LW-URX and Wilson's new TRIM rail. |

Do these PredatARs come with the BUIS and the Picatinny rail sections or do those need to be purchased separately?

I have the 7.62 and 5.56 on order. Now just a couple of months to wait. (place holder for pics) |

Soooo, what's the difference between the PredAR 556 in 16" & 18" besides the obvious 2"? They are both midlength gas, lowers are the same, is the rail length the same? Will the BCG be the same as my 20" OBR lite?

Will the BCG be the same as my 20" OBR lite? Don't quote me (so to speak) but I recall them saying that the handguard length will change depending on what length barrel you have. Also, I heard it is the same BCG. |

I ordered the 16 7.62! they told me it comes with the new grip panels( don't know how many), od green moe grip and stock, I didn't even ask about the rail sections.? I think I saw on another post it comes with one rail section! True ? False?

Which muzzle device do you all plan on running with your PredatARs? |

Surefire K brake.

I wanna stay with the lightweight theme? So which is the lightest? But not a2

|

No I want a brake but I've never delt with surefire brakes. Are they heavier? And maybe a weight comparison from a2
|
|
|
Does anyone know if the PredatAR is shipped in a case or not? Or one badass Dillo taped box?

And maybe a weight comparison from a2 If the weight of a surefire brake causes you to feel your gun is too front heavy, you've got bigger issues. Its probably heavier, but not to the point where you're likely to notice The K brake is the best out there IMHO If I'm getting a gun with a barrel that has this kind of accuracy potential, I'm putting a muzzle device on it that won't effect accuracy. The A2 and battlecomp don't necessarily fit that description....but the surefire does. |

Btw, is there a factory recommended brake for this rifle? |

If a suppressor isn't an option, do you feel the same? I live in a state that doesn't allow suppressors,so is the K Brake worth the extra $ over the less expensive comps? How about the K Brake vs. a Battle Comp, same price is one better?. I'd appreciate input as I'm on the fence on a comp. THX. |

Having shot both, I like the K brake more. I found the BC had a weird impulse when you started really rocking that trigger on fast cadences.
The K brake is fairly nasty to be around, and I've heard people complain about that, to which I say "it's a gun. Not an electric car." Frankly SF makes amazing products, on my 7.62 I think their K and SS brakes are hands down the best brakes out there that will also allow you to run a suppressor. If you're not running a suppressor, at least you still have that option. |

Got a Surefire K Brake coming on my 7.62 PredatAR. Have them on all my OBR's, very impressed with them!
