[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The I got my PredatOBR thread

Posted: 1/17/2013 8:05:30 AM EDT

I picked mine up today, I will have photos of it later tonight. Mine so far consists of: LaRue lower(stripped), reciever extension, MIAD, CTR and 2 PMAGs. Can't wait to get the rest.

I just got billed for my 7.62 also order number is 4504x ordered 6-29-12.

So, was this shipped by LaRue, or are you just trying to build one?

Question, do you know if it was transferred as a rifle or pistol/other?

(I'm assuming this was one of the "Great Lower Push of 2013" shipments)

Other. That kills my theory.

I thought they were shipping with the RAT stock and APEG grip

Same here. I got the same package as the OP. I'm sure others will be inquiring directly with LT, so I'll stay off the phone right now due to how swamped they probably are. I'm definitely curious to what's going on if anyone else has the answer.

When you get your package, keep everything in the box. When Larue is ready to make your rifle, they will send prepaid return label (to return your package the way you got it), they will then build your rifle to the specs in your order and send it to your home with UPS signature required.

Think of what you got as a place holder, so you get a rifle if a ban is put into place before they otherwise would have been able to build your rifle. Larue isnt able to crank out everyones rifle right now, but they can get you the lower.

For everyone who has been patiently waiting, this shows good faith on Larues part to get us our rifles. Sometimes things take longer than expected on both sides (my guess is supply chain issues as they dont make every part in house). Something tells me Mark is working on fixing the problems and bringing as much as he can in house, but that takes time, money, and knowledge if its not something they have done before.

Please dont call them, it will slow down how many lowers they can get out the door, they will make it right!

Yeah I was wondering about that too. I wonder if instead of sending it back they can just send me the rest of the parts. They could ship me the 14.5 that way without pinning it and I can get my AAC mount pinned on myself and not have to cut a different one off.

so we send our box back and then they will send us a complete rifle to our house? Not to the FFL?

Anyone hear anything from LaRue about the $250 invoice add on?

I spoke with them about it this morning. They had to out it on to ship the lower, they will be taking it off shortly.

Correct. Any shipments to/from the manufacturer for repairs/services do not need to go through a FFL.

It's kind of a bummer, but if thats what it takes to guarantee i own a Larue rifle in the current political climate, im in.

Mine will get here tomorrow per UPS. The savings on Prilosec OTC will offset any extra shipping charges..

This is helping my reflux. I hope they get to mine soon.

I picked both of my 308's up today and can say I'm really happy and the triggers feel outstanding.

Can't figure out what trigger this is on the tobr 7.62 lower.

Anyone know what trigger this is?

Posted: 1/18/2013 12:20:36 PM EDT

Picked mine up today... Seems to be some inconsistency in how they are sending these out... some are arriving with A-PEGs and LPK's installed... some a stripped with magpul grips in the box... mine had the buffer tube and mag release installed, but that's it.

Posted: 1/18/2013 12:24:03 PM EDT

[#33]

From what info I can ascertain, it looks like the 7.62 are coming mostly assembled with trigger group, mag release and a-peg grip...the 556 ones are stripped lower with everything else disassembled. Which one did you order?

Nice... Thanks for the description of how to handle this... Wished to hell I did not have to cancel mine...

Glad to see LaRue Doing this...

The Company, the parts and the man are 100% top notch in my book!!!!!

Not universally... my 762 was stripped except for the buffer tube and mag release

Posted: 1/18/2013 2:01:09 PM EDT

[#36]

My 762 lower arrived (order 35xxx) complete, with an A2 stock (I live in Connecticut), a stock trigger, and 2 mags.

Life is good.

I feel for those of you in New York.

Got mine today

! 5.56 predatOBR. Stripped lower came with UDE magpul furniture and Pmags

I hope when they call for it they will just let me go with the magpul furniture vs the RAT or at least let me keep the UDE Pmags

Picked mine up earlier, order 422xx. 7.62 tOBR (or whatever we are calling them now). Recieved a lower with LPK installed and buffer tube/buffer. Black APEG and a FDE CTR stock, and 2 Larue mags. The trigger installed looks similar to the ones already posted, it's not a Gieselle. It is one of the drop in triggers similar to a Wilson Combat TTU. I couldn't see any identifying markings on mine though, so it's just a guess.

Just picked mine up

Curious what trigger is in mine?

Posted: 1/18/2013 4:56:39 PM EDT

My wife secretly ordered one as a 5 year anniversary gift.
I had no idea until she got "the call" on Tuesday night.

7.62 tOBR
Order 258xx
Ordered on 3/17/12

I picked it up today.
Came just like the others, complete lower with unidentified trigger, 2x LT mags, Black APEG and CTR (online order still shows RAT stock on order).

Got mine today with FDE furniture. No trigger though, which is okay because I wanted a single stage trigger. But with my state, it's mandatory to tax anything transferred so they didn't know how much to charge because I had no invoice. So I told them my lower was two fitty and charged taxes off of that. I'm so happy!!

I got the same package today, order 388**. I'm guessing after reading through this thread that nobody has a clue whose trigger this is. Perhaps a new Larue item? It feels pretty good, and has a very crisp reset. My safety hangs up though...It doesn't appear to be a good fit.

Just one thought: take the mags out of the box before sending it back. I'm just saying . . . .

Hell yeah...I got UDE Pmags with my order! Im not letting these go!

How bout some more pictures? I should be able to get another up here on Monday.

I got excited because I got charged for the rest of my rifle. Turns out it was just a mistake with how busy they have been its very understandable. I should be picking up my lower for the 7.62 tonight so I will get a picture up then.
