Rarest Larue Rifle?? (Page 2 of 2)
| There is an engraved rifle for the author of Day By Day Armageddon books. J.L. Bourne. I forget what the engraving was. Pretty sure it was an OBR rifle though |
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

Wish I had done that for my twins. Would have been special for them. |

Sadly I sold this but factory shorty PredatAR upper. Kicking myself now but it’s the only one I ever saw of it. Attached File Shorty, Costa and PtAR heavy Attached File |

Happiness is an inside job. Don't assign anyone else that much power over your life.

Of course shooting the most affordable gov contract/bid 55g and or green tip with a red dot might have also left a poor impression of the capabilities as well. |

This has to be in the top five I’d imagine, Jan ‘12 UHFO checking in Attached File Have not shot it in a couple years sadly, it runs good tho well it doesn’t like the Remington golden bucket crap but I don’t think anything likes that stuff. I’ll dust it off and get it out to the range on my next weekend. Sir James… |

Not sure if it counts, but I won one of the Top Shot screen-used OBRs at the LaRue Range Day 2011. Got it presented to me by Mark Fingar and Dustin Ellerman (who won that season). I then immediately gave it back to Mark and announced I wanted to donate the rifle to WWP.    T’was a good day. |

That leg was giving you hell Yeah… I was at Ft Sam getting my leg repaired and getting exoskeletal orthosis tweaked. My Doctor was not happy that I couldn’t walk for the next day or so. |

Not affiliated. Link left cold just in case it is against the rules. Saw this good deal on a 16" OBR 556. 556 OBR doesn't get much love because it's heavy but they shot well. You don't see many of them. Anyway, wanted to pass it along to the LaRueminati just in case it's on your list now that they are discontinued. https://arnzenarms.com/product/other/consigned-larue-tactical-obr-lt-15-556x45mm-16-heavy-barrel-black-finish-jp-ambi-saftey-jp-scs-dead?v=117236

Better than the great deal I got on my 18” and 16” OBR 5.56s. |

Building a clone of both MOH rifles myself. 5.56 needs optics, suppressor and paint. 7.62 need optic, suppressor, Scout light, and paint. |

They were a steal too around $1500, came with Troy sights and a special black version of the AR gold trigger. |
