Quoted: Again, if you’re unhappy with the product received send it back and get ALL of your money back. Please don’t complain about no one buying it from you after you strip $200 worth of parts out and sell used for $50 less than new. Or even $75. I’m sure you’re competent to build ARs, but that unknown alone would cause me to significantly discount any purchase price I’d consider. Eta: I assume you assembled it but looking back can’t confirm that. If factory assembled you can disregard that point. My others remain though. View Quote |

Quoted:
First UU kit I saw in person looked like some of them pictured here, first thing I told him was to oil it. Oiled and gtg, strange how that works. When I received my UU 260 it looked the same and I have not oiled it yet. After shooting the shit out of it and the one mentioned above I was told I should oil mine, not gunna happen Slowly on its own it is matching, and those are not shadows. http://www.pictures.esstac.com/larue%20oil.jpg http://www.pictures.esstac.com/larue%20oil2.jpg If I wanted wall art I would not have bought this Kit. I did not spring for the assembly option but if there was an option for a hand rubbed UU kit by a Red Headed Virgin Goddess I might be swayed. But its more amusing seeing who the bitches are complaining about color match of different metals and the lack of oil on a kit build Now I might be inclined to bitch to Larue about the lack of 12.5" Grendel kits, need one to match the 18" Grendel kit I ordered View Quote |

If this was priced correctly, it would have sold already.
I’ve watched that upper for awhile now, glad I didn’t engage the seller to get the price down to reality. I hate having to explain to people why they aren’t selling something at the price they’re asking. Thankfully UnknownPatriot addressed this in excellent fashion. Quoted: Listed it FTF for $1250... An unassembled large frame UU kit without the stripped lower is $1302.95 shipped from LaRue without Tax It’s yours to sell but don’t complain and insinuate it won’t sell for about $50 less than from LT without acknowledging it’s used, not factory assembled, has had at least one different gas block on it (per your video), and you aren’t including the lower parts kit and the MBT trigger. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/136152/DEF780D8-A3FB-45F2-B360-A544ACB42ACA-418120.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/136152/5A5040FD-F43B-4B4F-80CA-CF7EF2FC2390-418122.JPG View Quote |

I have control over supply only - my sales ad is an offer to supply a buyer with a turnkey ready to go upper.
Incentives for the buyer is No Sales Tax and No wait. Obviously I have a target audience on this and add to that that I have no control over demand. Sure anybody in a legal buying state can go into LT’s website today and get more for their money but will have to wait for it to arrive and pay the tax man. Economics is an interesting thing - you’d be surprised by what value people have on convenience. To this point no nibbles but I’m not in a hurry to sale for less than $ 1225.00 and here is why. A year ago today what would a genuine LT 22” 6.5 Creedmoor Upper cost? Answer: you couldn’t buy them because they didn’t exist A year ago what did a LT 10 rifle cost ? Answer: about $ 3200.0 So many of you have already hit on the fact that the UU kits are a great deal and I agree (with the exception of dusty finish, missing barrel nut, receiver extension not fitting, and the onwers flippant attitude with a broad customer base) so what’s the “value” of a used UU kit? Answer: you would want and hope that LT rifles and uppers maintain a good resale value. I’m seeking to explore what that resale value is with my own upper - isn’t Freedom great!!! |

<snip> Price for my assembled UU Upper shipped to your door is $ 1225.00 - it’s been posted for a month or so, no nibbles... Again when it sales you’ll have one less person to muse with about finish and customer communication. Besides I might’ve considered sending it to you but for fear that you’d change your previous decision i’ll pass |

Just look at the UU orders as a blem kit at an amazing price and there is no room to complain. Or order it in black and send to JFE while it’s Still apart. Even then it’s a great price.
My Black kit was a good bit off when I got it, oiled it up like people recommended and now it’s great. Absolutely terrific gun at an amazing price. |

So the issue with black rifles is ? There is none Other then noobs Oil you rifle !
The issue with the ude and fde is NOTHING Noobs you all bought a upper YOU BOUGHT A UPPER Stop trying to act like you bought a 3300 complete rifle or pony up and buy one. Go buy a lmt 308 for 3700 dollars! That's 369 dollars more than LaRue's top rifle. Then roll the dice on weather you get a purple rifle or black and purple rifle. I swear to god some people kids |

Just got my FDE UU a couple hours ago looks great! Just waiting on the lower now!

Even with the price of LMT it doesn't guarantee that the upper and lower match perfectly either and it's a complete rifle. That or my LMT is a fluke as it doesn't match both the upper and lower. I'll concede that the entire upper does, but then again we are dealing with a monolithic upper, which is apples to oranges here.

View Quote Since I took this picture a bit over a month ago, the scope has been replaced with an FDE XRS with H37 reticle. All that black on the top was bothering me, plus the G2 reticle had nowhere near enough windage on the tree for Wyoming. I'm having a new 20 MOA LT745 and the Switchview lever coated to match as well, plus one of my Larue mag bodies to see how it goes, and I hand painted the caps with hobby paints from Walmart. Doesn't hold up too well, but it's cheap as hell and easy. I think I'll leave the bipod black... we'll see. Once I get the parts back this week and put everything back together, I'll take another picture. But back on topic, color match between the Larue parts is more than adequate. |
