Price isn't the issue, the issue is that a case has nothing to do with making a rifle and if I want to potentially build a rifle I now have to buy a case that doesn't fill any need I have. It's going to take a lot of thought, especially since the only tangible items I have out of the buildAR is a lower, a scope mount and two triggers...which is a long way from a complete rifle. |

I already had the family setup with AR's. I really didn't need or want another, but I went ahead and and ordered each time with the hopes of year 2 possibly being a 7.62 setup. If it happens, cool if not I'll likely be out. I may not even be able to proceed living in California anyways, but I'll hang on as long as I can.

Savings for Q4? How do you work the math on that? If retail on the combo is $489 +$48 shipping that's $537; because of the BuildAR list we can get it for $399 + $48 shipping that comes to $447.

I've seen 1750s with free shipping for as low as $170, Larue sells the MOAB for $240+$15 shipping, which comes to $425, the deal is actually more expensive. The lowers are nice, but lets face it they are priced correctly at $200, they aren't worth any more. The triggers are nice for $100, market value on Arfcom is around $120-$150. You're correc there are savings, not as much ass some think. I just want my damn Q1 order

You're right he can end it whenever he wants, but for those of us who have been in since the beginning, are still waiting on Q1 uppers, and only have a lower, trigger and piece of plastic to show for it, this is a slap in the face to loyal customers, and that is just not cool. |

I appreciate the opportunity but this is definitely disappointing. I don't want a $400 case when I have several incomplete rifles. The Taste of Texas sale was actually my first ever Larue purchase, thus putting me on the buildAR list. I have been thoroughly impressed with everything I have gotten so far and couldn't wait to get a couple BCG's to finish out some builds.But at the same time, If I don't by the $400 case I may never be able to get my BCGs. I get that they are probably backed up with production but it would be awesome for this quarter to be a mulligan. Call it bitching if you want, but I feel like Ive somewhat been played. I realize he didn't have to do this at all, but Im gonna have to say that I kind of agree that this one is a slap to the face. Im not gonna lie, I will still probably by Larue products in the future because they are that darn good, but this one will take some thought. I want another lower but... I figure as long as the buildAR is active they will never be available to anyone outside buildAR. Im torn.

I would gladly fork over $400 for the case if there was a guarantee that the buildAR would continue at least another year. My fear is if its over after this.

But that's really all I can think of. I don't even now what I'm going to spend this $600 certificate on. They have good mounts but I've sold all my Larue's for Bobro (personal preference). Maybe towards an OBR..... |

I don't think the current offer is a deal at all, but he's counting on people to buy it just on the assumption that something better is coming down the road. This thread is a good study in just what does it take for ML to piss of a fanboy lol. |

Thanks (Note: I'm getting $48.00 for UPS with USPS surepost and $48 for just UPS) Edit to add...any chance there's gonna be a Christmas surprise of significant value for those who are willing to stay in the game? Would still appreciate verification on the shipping quotes. I know a few of the online apps, like the one primary arms uses, can go haywire from time to time. Back of the napkin math would indicate that this quarter's deal will be a free shipping plus $25 off type deal compared to the market rates. Not a bad deal all around. One other question Mark...Not to ask for an exact deadline for the Q1 delivery, but are we essentially now looking at Q1 and Q4 shipping within 30 days of each other? I suspect that may impact the budgeting for many of us this go around, especially with Christmas/holidays upon us. I can't help but look at that case and think that a Seti may look well at home in that thing
Thanks |

This thread is a good study in just what does it take for ML to piss of a fanboy lol. I know this is a fanboy response,but I'm guessing he is asshole deep in orders and really can't spare the time,effort and loss of parts on the production end to keep things rolling with ar parts. I have no real issue with the case other than the shipping.now of course I'd have preferred another gift card or maybe a discount rate on a 260 sparrel or even a 308 sparrel. Mark has been pretty sparse around here lately and I'm guessing the run of orders leading up to the election is the cause.maybe he will drop in and offer a pass for those wanting to stay on the list and not get the case.who knows but I can say when I first saw the q4 offering I knew it was going to ruffle some feathers.

Does the Pelican case come with the foam?
1×
$48 shipping inside TX? With tax, that is $483.88 for a gun case? IF the pelican comes with no foam ($50 for foam), that would be like paying more than $350 for the MOAB. Nope! Also, not seeing the BuildAR aspect in a case. If anyone wants mine let me know by email. I appreciate the first 3 deals but can't justify this one. |

This gun market should get pretty soft with the new POTUS elect and his 2A friendly ideas. A healthy BuildAR's member list should mean good things for LT. I'm not sure it will survive this offering. Maybe we were down in numbers anyway, thus the "you BuildAR remnants" line.
I've mentioned the offering to a couple friends hoping maybe they would want it so that I could stay on the list. It always goes, "cool bag/case, how much"? You can imagine the responses I get after answering that question. I don't think I'm going to get any takers.

Sometimes you just have to pay to play. Could we get a better deal on a hard and soft case shopping around, you bet. Generally people are fine with paying the LaRue premium. Realistically, overall including the ToT deal the only thing people are short of to build a complete LaRue rifle is a BCG.

I would have loved a Larue Covert Case instead and a Larue range bag combo. Add in something else to round it out.

One also has to think about the fact Larue has offered us only product they build untill know, so he will have to buy part of Q4 to sell it to us. Mark has been good to us and I will order tomarrow after Chrismas Dillos are avaialble. I think I can safely say I have spent a significant amount of money on full price LT products and have never felt bad about it. My consternation with this one is that I'm on the list to build a Larue Rifle to exactly my specs, truth be told I ordered all six uppers from Q1 so we could do a family build between the children and I. Price isn't the issue, the issue is that a case has nothing to do with making a rifle and if I want to potentially build a rifle I now have to buy a case that doesn't fill any need I have. It's going to take a lot of thought, especially since the only tangible items I have out of the buildAR is a lower, a scope mount and two triggers...which is a long way from a complete rifle. The only promise he made was Larue products, not necessarily rifle specific. http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae12/shark101au/larue2_zps6ga2wkwy.jpg neither of these are larue products though pelican case and a soft case made for larue BAZINGA!

Q4 Offering is ok in my book...Ill likely stay on the list just to see what shakes out in the new year...
All I have currently is a lower and a box full of MBTs and other parts...I guess I can toss all that shit in my shiny new MOAB/pelican case until my Q1 uppers are someday shipped and I can actually build a damn rifle.
