My OBR got to my FFL this past Wednesday and I was lucky enough to be near by to be able to release it from its UPS box. Upon removal of this master piece from its FDE plastic container I was truly amazed at the OBR's craftsmanship and attention to detail. There is not doubt that LT thought of everything in its design. As I patiently waited for it to be logged in and my paperwork started I started to examine the contents of the box. Included with the OBR where 2 Magpul LR20 modified magazines(10 rounds), three OBR rail sections, and the standard gun lock. I continued to feel like a little girl on Christmas day as I completed all my paperwork, placed my OBR in a gun sock so that it would not get scratched, and went on my way with the above mentioned items. When I got home I noticed that the included rail sections looked a little different than the ones on LT site. The ones on the website have 7 notches and the ones that came with my OBR have 5 notches. Normally this is not an issue at all but the LT handstops will not work in this 5 notch setup. There is only one slot to hold the handstop in place. The rails work great with the FUG and all other accessories that will fit on a 3 inch rail. I corrected the issue when I called LT today to place an order for a few other little items that I need to finish this OBR project. (Surefire MB, extra OBR rail section, OBR rail covers, LT111, and a 6 pink Dillios). I was just curious to why the change in the 3 inch OBR rails from the 7 notch offered on the website to the 5 notch that came with my OBR? I looked back at a few pics of the OBR in some past forum posts, and noticed that the recent OBR's have this "new" 5 slot setup. Any thoughts? Maybe Mark or Mark can come by and let chime in! Or if need be correct me if I am wrong. ( Hell lately I have gotten nothing right!) Just thought I would add a few pics for demonstration.   Here is the rail section off the LT site:   One a side note I can not thank Mark enought for the ability to have one of these in Komifornia! I have not shot this yet but I think that the Remi 700 will be getting very very dusty in the back of my safe.!!

My boss just got his not even two weeks ago (which I believe he was at the LT shop) and I noticed the same thing about the rails. So it's my assumption that it is a possible shift to the 5 notch rail, as to why my guess is as good as anyones else outside of the LT camp. And I don't have a good guess as to why.
Well this probably didn't help much... sorry. JRHeikk |
neat!
So.....ah.... ....when are those cool new nifty OBR hand stops be released??? Quoted: You got the new, lower-profile rails. They are designed to tuck accessories closer to the handguard. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/mfingar/IMG_3711.jpg Original on the left, lower profile on the middle and right. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/mfingar/New-OBR-Rail.gif |

If you want one of the old ones I'll trade you for a new one. To bring this back to life, I'll trade you, or anyone, the Lo-Pro rail from my PredatAR for the standard one that comes/came with the OBR. Of course, akethan gets first shot at it... I appreciate it! |
