And the question from the "Gallery" is - what was your Order date? And congratulations of course.

This adds credence to my speculation that barrels are the log jam for certain sizes...

I had this debate with my self, 16" vs. 18". After consultation and prayer, I choose the 16". Now I regret it, I have been waiting 4 months for it!

I was also debating the 16" vs 18", but i went with the 18" with bipod, and im slapping a nikon m223 on it.... which has been on backorder for 3 weeks lol |

ok so how many of us just went and checked our order status?
16" PredatAR ordered 1/18. 4 weeks tomorrow. The first week was pretty bad, but now it seems to be flying by. I only check my order every 3-4 days |

Spoke with Sheldon this morning.
He said that he would call me back today... |

I was originally told when I placed the order that it would ship before Christmas.
What time frame were you given? |

A LaRue rifle is worth the wait!!!!. I would rather wait for a quality rifle then go to the gunstore and get a bushmaster or something similar!. Maybe they are waiting on 16in barrels?

Every time I see a light at the end of a tunnel, I just hope it's not an oncoming train. My luck hasn't been so good lately.

Do the 16in and the 18in share the same gas system? I ask because I want to have mine cut back to 14.5 anyways and whatever will help speed up the order the better as I really wanted one before the TMGC in April

Quoted:
2-11-12 16" 556... this could be a rough couple of months. Yeah, my order went in on the 3rd of Feb. I'm just trying to forget I ordered it so it will be a pleasant surprise when it's finally done, whenever that might be. |

hmm this wasnt supposed to be a "i didnt get my rifle yet" rage thread.. I hope everyone gets their rifle soon.. but depending on what accessories, barrel length, etc.. you get, you could end up waiting longer. I was quoted 16 weeks, thankfully wasnt that long, but I would have happily waited. I think everyone should realize that LaRue is a small shop, not some large scale manufacturer, so when they run out of a specific part it could take a while to get some more in..
|
|
If they just slapped them together and threw them out the door like some shops, I doubt they would be the accurate quality product folks line up to get.

I ordered an 18" OBR H the same time as you and I'm still waiting. The 6-8 week quote wasn't bad. Now when I call, I get "4 weeks at the most"......I wanted to run Tac Heavy in the LaRue match this year. If it's not here by March 1, I'll be forced to buy elsewhere. |

Also, you may want to make sure that profile barrel can even be cut back and threaded - I think the diameter is too small, but call and ask Alfred at LaRue ... |

Spoke with LT office today.
I was told my PredatAR (16" 5.56) would not ship until sometime in April. Reason given was they were filling military contracts. I respect and applaud them for supporting the troops first. I explained this to my son, as the rifle was to be a Christmas gift originally, and he understood. Great learning opportunity for all, communication is king. |

No complaints from me if the guys in front of me in line are wearing bdu's and I have to wait a little longer! Come home safe!

Great learning opportunity for all, communication is king. I called today (before i saw this) and was told about the military contracts. I was not told april though, He said a couple weeks, and that november orders were just starting. Don't mind the wait knowing LT is supporting our troops. |

I was planning on ordering a 16" predatar on monday. I don't mind waiting while they supply our military, they need them more than I do no doubt.
How long of a wait do you think it will be? You think I'd get it by fall? I haven't even ordered it yet, and I'm already excited. Its going to be a killer sitting and waiting all summer to get one :( |

But damn, at this rate it sounds like I won't get the rifle until fall if ordered on Monday. That is a little depressing to find out and I haven't even ordered it yet. I can just imagine how itchy I'm going to be after I order it. Are the rifles really worth the wait? I've heard nothing but good things, just want to hear it again I guess....haha YES! |

Quoted:
Brewski- When did you place your order? What did you order? 16" PedatAR 11/23/11 |
|
I do hope the time frame given to you is the correct one for all of us.
There is a big difference in "two weeks" vs. "sometime in April". Will someone from LT chime in and clarify please? |
|
I ordered mine a month ago and was told by Will 12-14 weeks, which puts me smack dab in the middle of April. I even saved a couple of vacation days to use for when it comes in.
So the only question I have is who's coming with me? ( I tried to embed the video from Half Baked but for some reason it wouldn't work). |
