Here's to hoping the he starts the BuildAR list (or something similar) over again . I wasn't even around here often enough to even hear about the list the first go 'round.

I still expect Mark will let us know formally once it's over.
I got pretty excited when I saw the Siete email come in... |

Mark, seriously, thank you for doing this BuildAR list. It has been a lot of fun waiting for the emails each quarter. It’s probably gone on longer than you wanted it to. The deals and equipment are greatly appreciated. Now that it appears to be wrapping up, I wanted to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed it. Again, thank you sir!

Taking my BuildAR Stealth 2.0 to the range this weekend to do some ammo testing (commercial, I don't have time to reload). Its time to pick the load that I'll take to an Appleseed in April for day 2, longer ranges. I'm using a 10/22 for the 25M part, and have already picked the ammo for that.
Its been too long since I had this LaRue out. |

I can tell you they both shoot great. The Valk is my favorite rifle to shoot right now.

I haven’t had a chance to shoot any of my LaRue rifles. I’m in California and it’s a pain in the ass though. I’ve got 3 more to build now also from the last active quarter.

My .224 Valkyrie was a problem child. The LaRue barrel went on an Aero upper, the bolt into a Toolcraft BCG, but the lower was a noname spare. Would not feed and gouged the crap out of the cases as they loaded.
So I put the upper on my BuildAR lower, all the problems disappeared. Shot the BuildAR upper on the noname lower, no problems. Switch back and the Valkyrie would not feed. Everything had compatible feed ramps. Fortunately the three lowers BuildAR quarter took care of the problem. I'm saving the noname lower for a pistol build, the BuildAR has its beautiful RO colored lower back, the Valkyrie is now on a LaRue lower and a LaRue stealth upper and works perfectly (not that there was any problem with the Aero upper). I still want to get a LaRue rail for the Valkyrie. I had to throw out about 30 Valkyrie cases that were gouged too badly to save. I need to get it back to the range because it hasn't been properly sighted in since its rebuild. |

I’m talking about paying for stuff before it ships. Not gift cards. The refunds G had to issue were massive I believe. |

Going back to my idea for a true BuildAR project. Let's do a 22lr, maybe takes some CNC work and maybe takes a 2+ quarters to get it done. Lower, upper, BCG (biggest thing to overcome), barrel. List goes on and on, and requires more Larue standard products (trigger, flash guard, plastic furniture, hangurard, etc.), so the Larue sales stack up and up.

Siete barreled action?

May 1st we hopefully get set free, but since politics are involved …. how about a "pick me up" email from drunk IT guys that day just in case

Pinging for an update ... Maybe a Stealth 2.0 Upper for $199?

I feel like mark is waiting on the 2020 gun rush to be over (corona/election year hype) before giving us buildar's a finale. At least this is what i tell myself...

How about a large frame BuildAR and close it out with a Siete. Or, I can use my open GC for some optics.... I’m poor in that department.

So, 13 quarters and she’s gone? If we cross the one year mark, here in two weeks, she’s gotta be dead.
