Here's mine.
Rights side is noticeable. Left side mag well is a shelf and above the safety is just enough to catch a finger nail on.  Attached File Attached File |

The bottom pic is exactly what I'm talking about; the edge there above the magwell where the upper and lower meet. It just seems very odd to have a Larue product with such a poor match (I won't say fit because the upper and lower certainly fit together very tightly) at a joint. That's why I am wondering aloud whether the Stealth 2.0 was made more for use with a forged lower. I will try to get a pic of the 2.0 on my Spikes forged lower tonight. |

The original stealth upper's lines match a forged lower, particularly Cerro (key hole) lowers, much better than the Billet LaRue. Actually there is not much for line matching of LaRue's upper and Lower.
Now the 762 OBRs match perfectly. An then they went  with the Predat OBR at the rear.

Got the upper in a few weeks ago for my bud, he had a chance to inspect it. Unfortunately he wasn't impressed, I'm dumping the upper and lower for him on the EE. The fit was nice and tight, they just don't match. Damn shame.

The tOBR uppers in 5.56 are the same as far as lines not matching with the upper/magwell area and on the right side. The side dimensions on the heavies not lining up was kinda goofy to me too. It all comes down to once you get behind your optic, you can't see it and sure as Hell aren't worried anymore.

I think it just comes down to the lack of attention to detail. plenty of other sets out there which are just as good or better and they match.......

For the reputation Larue has and the cost of their products they should match.

I've had my Stealth 2.0 upper and LaRue lower for a couple of months and I haven't noticed anything off. All I know is it locks together really tight and shoots really straight. Good enough for me.

If you don't care how they fit and if the finish looks like shit, why not just buy something from PSA for what, 1/5th the cost? At least with PSA I buy it knowing full well I won't be impressed. The receivers have fuck all to do with accuracy but for me, I dropped the coin and waited a year for it to be perfect. I mean everyone says it's worth the wait and you wait longer because of the precision and attention to detail right? |

I'm a LaRue fanboy, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed in the way the Stealth 2.0 mates to a lower. It puzzles me why they would leave such a gap. Maybe it's like a brake duct to keep the buffer spring cool.
For comparison, here is one of my 5.56 tAR's. The "lines" don't necessarily match, but at least the end of upper receiver is the same basic shape as a lower.

So, you can basically see the buffer tube with the upper pinned to the lower? |

I have a safe full of factory rifles and some lowers waiting on 2.0 uppers. Maybe they will introduce a Stealth 1.0 upper receiver in RO. Something that will mate up with the RO lower I bought. I don't mind the lines but that gap.

The ejection port side looks nice, in my opinion. I'm still trying to reconcile with the other. I've noticed several other die-hards quickly placing theirs on the EE.

Or is it just the stealth? it appears the 2.0 design and the TOBR design in the 556 are similar, the stealth uses the more rounded receiver profile common to most standard AR15 pattern uppers the reason the lower overhangs at that area is due to LaRue using 1 lower pattern in the AR15 size. Knowing now that the TOBR line has the same thing, I would say this is normal and expected. Depending on brand of lower used, the gap may be more or less, but shouldn't affect function. |
