Anybody get one of that short run back on New Year's Day 2016 ?
We're closing on the next run. Costa owners should watch for an email asking if they'd like to call dibs on their Costa's serial number. More to follow. ML |

Cool that you got ammo in the swag box!
You didn't say but if that's your group, were you expecting different results? |

View Quote Mark zeroed it, took it apart, cleaned it, shipped it in two different boxes almost 2,000 miles at the mercy of UPS, I added a Tranquilo when it got here, put the scope back on and shot it on my lawn. If it had been a pig sized target I could have easily engaged it out to the max effective range of the rifle based off the zero it held during all that and expected good results at the terminal end Impressive if you ask me. |

The CTR stock with your riser-While I haven't used it it would appear the cheek weld would be to high. Is the rail on the 7.62's higher than 5.56 rifles or am I missing the purpose of the riser? I have the risr and tried it out for a while, but I also think it's just a bit high for the standard 7.62's. It works in some positions, but I just decided to go back to the RAT stock. I think the original purpose was for the OBR with the 20moa rail, since the back end of the rail would be higher. Yes, the AR-10 has a slightly higher rail height. |

Just received the email notification that the rifle and swag are headed my way... :)

389 hit my FFL yesterday. But he just got back from a mini vacation, so he swamped and hasn't got it logged in yet. Waiting.......

The only time in my life when I got to Rock-N-Roll, and the ammo was free!! (Avatar is the Unit's shoulder patch) |
287 is in hand and waiting for work to give me a break ...

Any chance that it could have a baby brother with the same number? ..... miracles do happen occasionally ... if not I hope Uncle Siete stops by soon

Didn't get in on the FDE heavy but a matching UDE would be nice

Called Larue this morning. Told me 2 more weeks before my rifle would ship, and an additional 2 weeks past that for the .260 barrels.
I did not purchase the scope/mount combo either. |

For sure need more practice as well as practice being consistant with breathing and trigger control.
I was surprised at the rat stock, I like it as well as really like the grip. Think I wasted my money on the CTR/Riser stock but may use it someday. Anyone add ambi safeties or charging handles to Larue rifles? |
