I got all excited when I saw the FB post. Then I went on and realized I had to order a barrel and polymer, and muzzle device and gas block. All of which I already have from LaRue. Yeah... Looked pretty cool until I realized it's not an upper kit, it's an entire rifle kit. LT, why the selection choice if there's only one choice and you can't decline that part. "Hey cool! $500 upper" turned into "eh, another $900 upper with parts I wouldn't want" If you want to build a full gun, it's still a pretty good setup. But to have another upper it's less appealing. |

I completely agree however. I was a little surprised to see the drop downs weren't optional |

I am one of those guys that said take my money and just ordered the Grendel. Plan to pop it onto my tAR lower! Thanks Mark! If you keep the deal live for a month, I will probably be in for a 300BLK. Just bought my wife a Benelli Supersport and Bowtech bow and all the goodies so this pushes my toy budget for the month...
BTW, Anyone know for sure if the 300BLK barrels are pistol length gas? Regarding grumbling about having to buy polymer, etc. I get it, as I said I am putting this on my tAR lower so no need for the trigger or polymer but look at the price of the barrel! An Anderson Grendel upper would be 100 more than I paid for this! |

I'll buy the bcg, upper receiver, 10.5" rail, 12" stealth barrel and nut with wrench from you for $400. If you want to throw in the gas block and gas tube for another hundred you've got a deal.
Agreed this is a smoking hot deal but I run a surefire suppressor and have absolutely no need for any lower parts.

Who is in???!! Here Yeah, you know I need another Grendel.... |

This is what I'm going to built one of mine on.
Not a big fan of proprietary parts in an AR but the proprietary parts (Lower receiver) are not critical or could be 'rigged' easily should they fail and repair necessary. I am however a big fan of the ambi arrangements and that the receiver has an upper/lower receiver tension screw hole and supplied screw for a tight fit. I am a Larue Armorer so I purchased it unbuilt. I am curious about the tightness of the barrel/upper fit as I have heard it could be really tight.

Not sure, probably will though. The brake is pre-drilled for a pin and the only logical reason for pre drilling the pin hole would be to pin/weld a 14.5 barrel to >16". ETA: Sorry, potato pic

Is the brake long enough to make a 14.5" bbl legal 16" length? If a 14.5" bbl upper kit is purchased, will LaRue pin and weld the brake to the bbl if the option to assemble is chosen? |
