That would make it a good time for a 1-year anniversary BuildAR Blowout.

Meh, right before all the Memorial Day sales? Lots of folks would jump ship if it’s not something amazing. If it’s still alive I doubt he’d release it right now. He’s pretty famous for limited edition rifles getting released the first part of January...

Chances are Larue didn't anticipate the pandemic shit in an election year with riots happening in the background, so that changed the calculus a bit.
I'm still hopeful we got something coming up. At least a blaze of glory to bid the program an official farewell. @LaRue_Tactical |

It would be nice to get an official "end" to the BuildAR, either with a last offering or with Mark saying it's done...just so we're not in limbo. Either way, it was nice to play and always thankful for all the Larue goodness I've had the opportunity to snatch up. Thanks Mark and Co.! |

At this point im just wondering if my gift cards will expire before the siete is released???
The BuildAR was fun but I was hoping it would turn into something great like a obr or tobr build, maybe a Ar pistol or a .22 ar possible something in fde just to make it unique, instead it appears it is just fizzling out. too bad it was great fun while it lasted. so back to hoping for tobr barrels in different calibers to be released. a 6.5 creedmore barrel with pst would be a instant success, along with 300black and 6.5g for the tobr lites. hell id even be in on a 338 fed for hunting. |

LMAO, just 2 months ago you were telling us we'd see the first 500 by Independence Day. Originally Posted By icecold1: I’m taking the under, I think mark will at least release the first 500 by the 4th of July. Once the new cnc’s start shitting out parts he should catch up in no time. Originally Posted By icecold1: Originally Posted By sea2summit: Ohh really? What do you base this off of in number of parts?

He’s already got a shit ton of them Just curious. My thought is the programs are written,the prototypes are built the new cncs are being hooked up and mark will be looking to make some return on his investment. I also think he is sitting on a couple hundred already before the “rush” with the numbers he said he was producing. I don’t think mark sets up machines to run one part at a time and we know he took 10 siete pistols to shot,gave 5 nolo ones away to hugely disappointing shooters. It may be a fools bet at 500 but I could easily see the first 125 going out to honor the 4th of July and bring some excitement to the masses. I hope if the option arises he would allow the costa and other special edition followers to get their number. |

But I totally get it - I unloaded my gift cards a couple months ago.
Not saying I won't buy one - just not willing to continue sitting on the gift cards until they are released. |

I know I used my oldest BuildAR gift cards already. I have one full and one partial left that were saved for BuildAR Siete or another UU/lower kit.
We'll see what happens. I still say Mark will at some point give us a new quarter, or a *clear* no-more on Build-AR; until then I'm just pinging the topic to keep it noticeable. |

I am just hoping to see what will be offered; if its gift cards again then I might end up with an actual LaRue-built rifle (though not a Siete, apparently) instead of another ultimate upper. But no 6.5G or CM because dammit no more freaking calibers! I have too many already! (Unless LaRue comes out with something in .338 Lapua, a CheyTac caliber, or .50BMG because those are self justifying) |

I think the only gift cards I have left are the open purchase ones, so I’ve got some time. If they get close to expiration I’ll use them for optics.

If it's a five year shelf life on cards, I'm not sure what the rush is. Q3 (8/16)was the first gift card offering giving us unit 21
