I am Mark LaRue and I predict we will not have a rifle on backorder this coming New Year's night ...
That's right, every rifle now in our order system will be off our books by midnight Dec. 31st (plus or minus a couple weeks ) ... I say this because we got folks ordering right now that are banking on it being a year or two wait. ETA - There's a small chance folks will be able to order a rifle on Cyber Monday for a pre-Christmas delivery. ETA 2 - Rather than send out private eyes to locate the few that are slow to respond, we're picking up speed as we skip over them. Don't worry if you get back in country, you'll be thrown back on the hot list and will make it into the next batch. |

Congratulations, Mark. That will be quite a milestone!
I for one will welcome the opportunity to buy your rifles without the wait, knowing they're just a matter of days away. Second best news I've heard all week (the first being that OBR's and 18-inchers are rolling...) |

Yes........
ETA: but is that one fella going to have his MG replacement barrel by then?
|

Great news for all of you still waiting. I hope Mark's prediction comes true!

Congrats, Mark! I'm saving for my second LT...either a shorty or a .308...can't decide.
|
|
Congrats!!
So what's next, I know you guys are thinking of new things? Any clues before SHOT show? I'd like to see a full ambi lower and possibly a keymod or M-LOK rail for the tOBR line???? |
|
Excellent news! Great job LT!
Now what new rifle should I order, Daddy just got a new gig.. I'm thinking something in a SBR platform.. |
|
That is awesome.
So if I want another one and want to pay for it with a tax return I should order it when? |
|
The best news ever! I'll have my tOBR 7.62 in time to take out for deer season.

So, in 2015, we will be able to get a LT lower to mate with our stealth uppers ?????
Or will we continue to have these bastardized mixed manufacturer Stealth shooters ??? No Stealth upper should be part of a 'Franken AR'. |

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! I just placed my order a few minutes ago for my tOBR 5.56, dreading a year + wait, now I might have it by years end! Great news. Saving my money as fast as possible.
Just today, I kid you not, I overheard a guy at my LGS bragging about how he had 5 rifles on order. All I can say is he is gonna go broke and end up being beat by his wife. Ha ha! Looking forward to this.

Does this prediction include barrels that can be purchased: like a .22 lr barrel kit for tOBRs and .300 blackout barrel too?
|
|
That is some great news! Does that mean there is a chance we will hear about the nice new 10.5" 5.56 barrel and 9" rail we can buy for our tOBRs?

Damn, I'm going to have to get a second job. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes I did just that. This part time gig is for toy money... Quoted:
Hehe, and I just ordered a PredatOBR 7.62 today! I ordered mine July 15th of this year. I was preparing for a long haul. |
|
I might have to reconsider putting a couple grand into the hotrod in January.
|
|
This is great news indeed! I'm really liking the 5.56 14.5" tOBR vs. the 16" OBR that I have on back order. I might have to make the switch now that the wait won't be as long.

Will this include the stealths also or just full rifles? Guy at work is considering one for a patrol rifle but is on the fence due to the wait. This could sway him to the Larue side sooner than later
