So About This BuildAR List (Page 119 of 120)
|
mine is not that close of a match between the handguard and the upper, the handguard and the lower match pretty well, with the upper reciever section being much more golden..im guessing that like anything some match better than others as most of the pics i saw prior to ordering the color match from upper to handguard was unnoticeable. i wiped it down with a light oil and there is no real difference. not really a deal breaker but not going to be a gun i pull out to show off when someone new wants to see a LaRue. ill try to figure out how to post a pic. old guy problems..lol

Normal if so. |

I seem to recall this was an issue that Mark (???) addressed some time ago when the black receivers and rails were slightly off (purple shade). A coat of oil with a wipe down resolved the issue. IIRC it was what you said about the differing types of stock. |

I bought it with a different purpose in mind. |

IIRC it was what you said about the differing types of stock. as i posted above oil does nothing to the tan/gold finish other than add some sheen. in the pic the entire gun has been wiped down.... im guessing that it might just be a different batch of anodizing than the rest and the assembler was color blind..lol |

| The LT RO combos had the same issue, mine shot sub MOA typical of my other LT rifles so I got over it. |

YMMV. funny how all the ones in the Instagram posts and on the LaRue site then don't show a huge difference. there must be some consistency or a better eye for color assembling them. im going to call tomorrow and see what they say. worst they can say is piss off... |

You might want to take a better look at the website. The color difference is, in fact, visible. The color is fine. The upper is likely a different stock than the lower and hand guard, and looks better than SCAR or ACR ever did. Happy with mine. It’s like complaining about a Sig P320 M17/M18 or a Glock 19X have two tones. It’s not junk, it’s the way the different metals and/or finish blast affect how the anodize turns out. Shoot it or sell it. Attached File |

Yep I was in this group too. Just retired and another 5.56 16" was not in the budget. If it had been the Siete it would have been bought |

Ditto. A longer barrel, or a different caliber, I would have done a lot to make that possible. I already have a pretty 16" 5.56 in Rearden Oxide and a small batch of black ones. I also had problems with the email announcing this not showing up; fortunately a friend pinged me. Still hoping for a new list. But if Mark continues this for the truly stubborn and monetarily endowed, more power to them. |

after a couple months with the black and tan i must say it runs like a raped ape, just hit 1000 rounds with zero malfunctions and only one clean at 500 rounds just cause i was changing the muzzle device to run my tranquillo, i still wish the color match was better but as far as reliability it gets a a+ both suppressed and unsuppressed. now the question is was that the end of the build AR? |
