Hi, I'm fairly new to this site...

I am planning to build my first complete AR, but decided to get a complete Stealth upper instead.  I am thinking about getting the matching Larue lower too,  but I haven't found any info on the on this site.  If you have a Larue lower, or just have a strong opinion on them please let me know what you think.

A friend recently did the same thing, got a Stealth upper, very nice, accurate, and was going to get a LaRue lower but ended up with a LMT Defender 2000 with Sopmod & 2-stage trigger.  He felt it wasn't worth any "premium" just because it had the LaRue name on it.

Thanks for the responses.  I'm not sure what to do yet...but i'm leaning towards getting a Larue lower.

well it's a billet and it looks really sexy, it is $250 and you can get some complete forged lowers for the same price, but i like everything else LaRue makes, i bet the back it up w/ their lifetime warranty, it breaks, they'll replace it, and i don't think anyone can complain about their quality. if you like it, i'd get it, it'll be the same as getting a POF billet lower.

I bought it to have a complete LaRue rifle. There is zero movement in the entire rifle. Some of my other ARs have some slop. I know this doesn't affect anything but the LaRue feels like it was cut from one billet. If that is worth something to you you might spend the $. Or you could buy it and sell it for a premium to fund the lower you want to use.

You also won't have to worry about the finishes not matching on your upper and whatever lower you get...

Good points everyone.  Larue is it.  

Now that I have gotten the bug again, I am also thinking about swapping the upper on my AR10A2.  But first I have to sell my current A2 upper in the EE.

I have a feeling this is gonna be costly

I don't think the match is that good on the LaRue. The lower is pretty glossy and the upper is matte. Doesn't bother me.

Yes they are worth it.  You might even, well, here have a look at my 3, courtesy my Obamania:
