...I guess you could look at it, if the BuildARs knew the UU future, that same $3538 could buy: - 3 complete small frame LTs - 2 complete heavy LTs ...Not including shipping, of course, and just the bare bones kits, unassembled.... ....But, nobody knew then what we know now.....I like my 2.0, V.1...but who would say no to ..Edited to correct the use of gift cards...If'n you didn't buy 'em, you wouldn't be using them...  With the state the industry is in right now, and I've got to believe Larue, based on recent offers is in the same boat, I do have a hard time understanding how anyone would want to piss off a customer, especially a loyal one...but hey, what do I know...... |

A package weight of 3lbs... Does that mean both of my lowers (black and FDE) have shipped, or is it just the black surrounded by awesome swag? Anyone have the weight of a bottle of Dillo Dust? 
We'll find out Tuesday.  |

Any buildAR part I didn't have a need for found a way to a new home with friends. Mainly an MBT adoption program aimed at ridding the use of any other trigger.
Step 2 is getting them all to adopt Larue barrels. Lower is out for delivery

This is so not fair you have to have a penis-mod Ultimate Upper to get one. Come on Mark make an Ultimate Upper in M-Lok I do not want a penis-mod rail. I hear you.

Now we can't haz lowr..............FFFFfffffffffff!!!!!!1111!BBQ At that price he should be trying to sell as many as he can. I bought my last 4 billet lowers for $23 each.

I am not sure I understood the email from ML this morning. I like the videos.
I mean, one lower per upper. I get that. I also got another email from sales. Said I had ordered too many lowers. Argh. I have one upper today, and ordered another. That makes 2. I ordered 2 lowers. Not sure if LT wants me to wait to get the 2nd upper before ordering? One is Cerekoted anyway. I think they should just make the uppers and start selling. Seems like too much compliance time. What I really wish is that they had two different lowers: The existing finely made LT-15, and something else that actually matches the Stelth 2.0 upper, which as time goes by I am starting to like a little bit less. I might like it more if the fit matched. |

I don't think you understand the butt hurt. To get into the buildAR program you had to buy the taste of Texas (barrel, poly kit, ) for $483.94 Q1 was uppers of which you could purchase up to six (which I did) but for sake of argument lets assume just one (upper, barrel) for $649 (yes, another barrel because it's the first chance at 300 BO) Next quarter was lowers (optional 845 and MBT) for $599....limit 1 Next quarter gift card for $399 Next quarter rifle case for $399 Q1 of 2017 was a another barrel (with nut, tube, gas block) and MBT with TAC for $359.89 Next quarter is a BCG (limit 1) for $249 Last quarter was another gift card for $399 So the average buildAR has not been able to make a single "organic Larue" complete rifle, has several barrels and triggers and has invested $3,537.83 into the program. Make more sense now? |

I assumed that they had it programmed in their software so that it would be denied when you tried to add it to cart. I used the order number from a stealth V1 upper and hand guard a few months before the UU came out. I assumed that since it let me add it to cart and check out that they were also approving stealth upper buyers. After reading these posts though it sounds as if they are determining eligibility when they process the order. I just placed my order on Thursday so they probably haven't gotten to it yet. Wonder if they'll cancel my order? I want a lower for my V1 bad but I am fully invested in m-lok now and it seems the industry is headed in that direction. If the UU was available in m-lok id be all over it and use the one lower for my stealth V1 and UU. $700++ is just too much for not exactly what I want.
Moral of the story: I want m-Lok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
