| is there a wait time if I were to order one with the 20 inch barrel, if so how long of a time frame are we talking. I dont mind waiting. |
|
Quoted:
I would like to order one but the money in my account is to get things for the house I will have money on the 13th. I am also thinking about getting the N6 thats why I am looking for info on them. You pay when it ships, not before. So order up and save your pennies, you have time. |

Mark hasnt ok'd the 18" and 20" guns so I'm still waiting on mine but the barrels are the same general design as the 5.56 guns and nobody has has any complaints so I would say "great" |

I am still on the fence until I hear waiting times on the OSR with a 20 inch barrel. Won't matter if you havent ordered yet, by the time they get to you they will be ready. Its only those of us who ordered in the first few months that are getting held up. Trust me I'm doing my best to try to get a 'when' time on those but that seems to be one of those questions that Mark absolutely refuses to acknowledge needs to be answered. |
here, let me say what they have told ya again  - 6 months minimum wait no matter what length barrell; you pay when itis shipped. the price goes up $500 in a few days. DO IT NOW! you'll regret it if you don't. And use the search feature or just rummage the last 3-4 pages of LT industry forum to find about 1-2 hours worth of positive reading material on the rifle.

No probl em. I really want folks to be able to own and use this rifle. The feeling just from holding it is indescribable; but when you get to shoot it - WOW! I know it seems like a lot of money, but it really is an investment that one should be able to get their money out of easily if bad times force a sell. I promise that once someone gets their rifle, the Ramen noodle diet will be forgotten and they will feel it was worth the sacrifice. Seriously, it is worth giving up something for 6 months if that is what it takes to own one of these - just don't anybody make your family suffer to do it. Plus the price goes up soon-lock it in and pay for it 6 months from now. DO IT NOW! I can't wait till we get some weapons quals done in MARCH so I can get this puppy online with my TEAM> It is great for personal use, but I really want to get it in service doing its life safety mission professionally. |

He said it here on 12/10
Quoted:
The intro price ain't gonna last past the end of the month ... And to quote a recent comment sent my way - "Guns that run cost more than those that don't" 
Quoted:
It's gonna be $2,995 each, going up sometime between now and the end of the month. End of the month is in oh...7 hours or so.... |

This here review convinced me to place an order for one, but in an 18" barrrel! Think of the possibilities.

Be advised, be advised, even though I said I was going up in price midnight last night ... I decided to let all the Texas deer hunters still out in the field have a shot at the intro price. Buck season is over sundown Sunday, so they ought to all be packed and back home and get a chance to place their OBR order before midnight Sunday night. So, at 12:01 am Monday the 4th, the price goes up to $2,995.00. It is what it is. Shucks, I got a little sidetracked. Internet or not, you can believe that. And Happy New Year ! ! Had to pull the trigger before they went up, thanks Mark! |
Is it 100% accurate that the delay will be at least six months? I am crazy if I order one right now but I am even crazier if I don't, especially if I would've had six months to get the money (less $500) together. So, if anyone knows the six month delay is certain please show me where I can read it for myself or where I can go to verify. Oh, how I want to get one of those OBR Owner's Edition caps... and one of those free rifles they keep talking about that they throw in, too.

I received the first one released into the wild, and just ordered my second last week. I can confirm that I was told 6 months. If you want it directly, call LT up and ask them, and order your rifle while they are on the phone.
Oh, by the way, the OBR owner's hat IS pretty sweet! |
Can't wait!

anyone get a realistic timeline on a 18-20" one? If you haven't ordered yet 6 months. Otherwise it depends when you ordered. There is only one line for obrs larue just decded to only build the 16 to start. I've already talked to Alfred about the config for my 20" just waiting on Mark to let them start building the long guns. |

Just an FYI ... Shot three (3) OBR 16"ers just a little bit ago. 5-shot 100-yard groups sizes were thus ... Rifle #1 - .560" Rifle #2 - .430" Rifle #3 - .735" 1.725 / 3 = .575" average Must have been that early morning cups of coffee ... that opened up those groups!
Just kidd'n ... What has been the average on each one you have tested before shipping .... should be running around 0.6??.

Frank,, ORDERS #14514 AND 14302 UPDATE: well mabe i was getting a little reved up, after having a 500dollar bolt hacked to death by a local so called gun smith ,i have been very weary of , the local smiths , so i called and spoke to tyler at larue , on the subject of permanetly attaching a muzzle brake , first off he is a super nice guy to talk to and very helpfull. the issue is that with the upcomming shot show things are hectic at LT, so they would usally weld/pin the brake on if there is time, and he also stated that if things calm down they would be able to do it, he also said if it cannot be done in house he would get a list of competant smiths for me locally, which i will gladly pass along to anyone that needs it done . which if that winds up being the case , i will be hesatant to let it be done outside of the LT factory , for many reasons , we may just have to live with it if we want that rifle. this comming from me , not him, so my orders are fairly new i am just gonna have to wait and see, i am just really hoping they can do it , there are some real assholes out here in N.Y. that hang a sign, buy a lathe and some tools and have the nerve to call them selfs gunsmiths, it makes me sick to think of it having to be done elseware. i will be back with any info . thx guys |

OPTIC HELP,,,,,,any input here would be great. i have my 2 obrs ordered , on 1 which is for me , i have a super sniper 10X-40. almost positive it has a 1" tube, what mount would you guys recommend , in a Q.D> config. as i want to have a set of Larue buis on it also , and for my boys rifle i have yet to figure out what to mount on it , it will also have a set of buis, want a Q D mount , just cannot make up my mind as to scope, red dot, aim point ,donot have much if any experience with them . the same goes for mine as i am taking the ss off of another rifle , but it would do until i find the right optic. i donot plan on any shooting over 200 yards as the local ranges here are all set up for 100yds to 200 yds but would like to have the capability for what the rifle could do???or say the 5 to 6 hundred yds., 1 or 2 of the the elite clubs that you have give a nut to join are set for 300yds, i would like to keep the optic cost around less than 500 each?? , let me know what you guy/gals know and think , about the optict not my spelling .or typing,,, thanks very much,, frank also how does an eotech fit into this equasion as i have 2 mounted on a few rifles that have yet to be fired... and could be swapped over .
