So the first PredatOBR is up for sale on the EE and it got me thinking about barrel trades for the tOBR. I remember there was a thread about it before but I can't find it so I figured I would start another. This is even more interesting now with the introduction of the field grade barrel and the fact that many of us will end up with two barrels. I am debating trading my 18" field grade for a 16" field grade, any other interest in trades?

I will be interested in trading my 16" match barrel for an 18" match barrel whenever they come out, unless I can get the 18" directly from Larue

Im order 911xx for a 7.62 18" TOBR, if my order ever comes up before they run out of barrels, I'll trade my BBL for a 14.5" BBL.

Should also add, when the 5.56 start to ship I will gladly trade my field grade 14.5" with surefire brake for a 16".

I was told that when the match barrel was ready I would have to send the field barrel back in

I ordered mine with a Surefire brake. Will it come on the match and a cheapo flash hider on the field grade barrel? You'll get what you ordered, pinned and welded on both Field Grade and Match. |

My field grade barrel would turn into a field grade rifle.
You guys trading barrels are nuts IMHO. |

Why would they even want these USED (I plan to shoot the shi!t out of mine), sub-par (by their own definition) "field grade" barrels back anyhow? Personally, I think it's worth more to Larue to leave these in their customers hands as an olive-branch for those us that waited 1.5 years for the damn things to finally be released. Literally, about the only* momentary value my 'field grade' barrel will hold for Larue is w/e the cost of scrap is at that time... |

I was thinking to build a beater rifle around my field grade barrel once I got my match grade barrel, but it looks like they are proprietary. I really don't see why I would ever want to put the field grade barrel back on the rifle once I have the match grade. And, I don't see Larue selling me a spare PredatOBR upper any time soon. :)

As long as the nut will fit under other handguards/rails, should be fine. Or am I missing something (I dont have my hands on a tOBR yet). Otherwise, once I get my match barrel, my field grade will find a new home in a chopped tAR chassis. |

I never read anything either and could have sworn that's what Juli told me when she called

Mark clarified on here that you would in fact be able to keep both barrels, complete with PST if you have the tOBR or OBR, and that both would come with the MD you ordered. This has also been reiterated on the phone by Juli.

It's FG barrel, not to worried about how it would look, as long as my MG barrel is sitting pretty Is was saying the other guy would not likely trade his 14.5" for your 18" without trading hand guards as well.... Probably should swap upper receivers as a whole (NIB) if you're going to.... the short hand guard for the other guy getting your 18" would look like crap, and your 14.5" sitting inside of the original hand guard which is longer to accommodate the 18" would likely be borderline unfeasible... |

I got an 18" and found out its just a smidge to long to fit in my car's rifle rack... so, if anyone wants to trade their 16" FG and/or MG for my 18" bbls. let me know.
OR, if someone wants to trade uppers with me for a 14.5", that would be good too! |
|
Any takers in my 18" 7.62 for 16" 7.62 or my 14.5" smith surefire for your 16" 5.56?
|
|
Hmmm I want to see if we can get someone to put a 16" handguard on a 14.5 and see how that works out.
|

|

My trade fell through... So I'm still in the hunt for a 16" trade for my 18". Right now, it's about an inch and a half too long to fit my patrol car's rifle rack.
Or I'd gladly trade uppers for a 14.5... To sweeten the pot, I'll even pay for shipping if someone wants to trade. If I want to carry this thing on duty, dept policy says it has to be locked in the rack. |
|
Still looking to trad my 18" for your 16". 7.62 that is. I will cover shipping both ways.
|
|
I would be interested in swapping my 14.5" MG barrel for an 18" MG. When they come that is...
|
|
I'm really just super hopeful that once they battle through the current list that they turn on the ability to get a 14.5 barrel and hand guard for your 18" tOBR ... That would be OUT'Freakin'Standing ~!!
|
|
It's an old thread but I'm looking to trade a 18" FG for a 14.5" FG if anyone's up for it. All I ask for is a round count on the barrel.
|
|
The thread isn't that old. I have a 16" FG on its way, it should be here the end of next week. I'm looking for a 18" FG.
|
|
Any word on the 7.62 PredatOBR match/select grade barrels yet? I am very happy with my field grade. . . I was just wondering.
|
|
Same thoughts, I would like to trade my 14.5" match grade for a 16 or 18" match grade, but the problem is that I would also like to have a hand guard to match...
|
|
Am willing to trade a 16" 7.62 field grade barrel carefully 'broken in' and handguard for a 14.5 setup. Round count=30, cleaned/removed copper following initial shots.

Looking to trade my 14.5" match for a 16 or 18" match
Mine has a surefire flashhider pinned and welded. Edit 7.62 for the police below. |

Have people received their 2nd barrel, match bbls yet?
I thought only FG bbl were out. |

About the time those ran out, LT had their process right on for match / select grade barrels ... To my knowledge all the 7.62 rifles shipping today have their select grade barrels ... I haven't yet heard of anyone being contacted to swap out FGs for Selects (I have a very early FG so I'm hoping not) ... |
|
I'm looking to buy any tobr barrels once you get your match barrels in...
I also will trade my 14.5" match for another length match barrel |

Looking to trade 14.5" 762 FG w/SFMB-762 (pinned/welded) for 16" 762 FG w/SFMB-762 (after 14.5" match barrel arrives). Thanks.
