I'm looking forward to seeing some impressions of the 260 barrels in the wild....
So go! |

I am down for a Tranquilo to be held in Jail in Leander! Would be happy to wait for the HPA act to pass! I will be ordering one as soon as my bill cycle ends! Either way, its a great deal, like a tax stamp rebate!

Mark- can we get a chance to buy a longer tOBR handguard?
I have a 14.5" 7.62 tOBR and would like to use the .260 barrel on it and the FDE. The longer handguard would be great. Thx. |

So can the FDE tAR and regular tAR both take tOBR barrels? If so, the possibilities abound!

If anyone bought the 260 barrel and is not going to shoot the 308 barrel I'd be interested in buying the 308 barrel.

Congrats to all who got in on them and I can't wait to see mucho test targets on the .260 barrels.
If I hadn't just picked up a new watch and something nice for the wife last month to celebrate us finally getting pregnant, I don't think I could have resisted. With the .260 out now I think this thing is going to take an even larger chunk of the large frame market. I've been in a precision shooting class with some JPs and they shot great but, at the risking of sounding vain, I just can't get over the race gun look. These just "look right" to me. |

Does anybody have a recommendation for a FDE 34 mm Mount. I have a 50% off Burris coupon and I am going to pick up the new XTR II 5-25x50 in FDE and I would like to make the scope and mount FDE. I will never use the functionality of the LT845 with a rangefinder and don't want the extra weight in the mountains of Colorado. If Larue had anything else in FDE like the LT840 that went out on the first batch, I would be all over it, but I think I am SOL right now.

Geissele mounts are on sale now at primary arms. Not sure how their FDE would match up.

How much were the .260 barrels on the sale?

|
|
What do you say Mark? Are there any other options for a Larue mount in FDE, or am I going to have to put some Super Precision on just for the color.

Just a thought to get me in more trouble with the wife - how about a deal for those of us who "took the leap" on the Heavy barreled FDE PredatAR's in 7.62 a chance to get matching numbers on the Costa Edition 5.56 Rifle?
Just a thought ... |

I generally only creep over here on occasion as I mostly post on Sniper's Hide, but I figured I'd poke my head in this thread and say thanks Mark for finding a way of blowing my good intentions of controlling the gun budget. Hell, the rifle was an unexpected purchase but I keep eyeing the nice little deals you sent out to us in that follow-up email and now I'm seriously debating a TQ and the 260 barrel... I need another can like I need a hole in my head and I really had no intentions of adding yet another 260 to the safe, but with that offer I am now questioning my decision to stay 7.62. Good job Mark!

Hmmm....
Checked my account and Larue charged my card on Apr 12 (not a pending transaction). Order status still shows Compliance Call Juli (confirmed that they do have my FFL on file). Maybe I will see a Limited-Edition FDE 7.62 Heavy next week? Hope that gives Mark enough time to personally sight it in . |
|

I'm not expecting it this week, by the end of April is what I'm planning on. My .260 barrels are also "GTG" but not shipped so I've got to figure out which dog house I want to sleep in

Put my order in for some barrels, the can, the optic mount, and an extra brake for those barrels.
Going to run this with a 22" 260 barrel in some PRS matches, should be pretty fun. |

Order went from "compliance call Juli" to "Rifle-GTG". Does that mean its getting close to shipping?
|
|
|
From my experience, yes it does.

Normally when you buy one off the rack and you get the GTG status it ships pretty soon afterwards. Mark did mention in his Costa email that it might be near the end of the month for all these to be shipped.
