Mark, I understand you may not want to divulge what the list is all about yet, but can you at least let us know when you'll make the announcement of awesomeness?

Use my lasts gift cards around April of last year. I ordered a tranquillo. My can showed up a year later. Currently waiting for permission from the government

I need to tally up how much i have in gift cards. I was planning on using them for a Siete but it doesn’t look like that will happen before they expire. Maybe I’ll put them up for trade on an optic? Whattado…

Any day now...

unfortunately inflation is killing the gift card values, im going to use my last ones this year before price increases wipe out them entirely.

With Mark you never know. The octobARfest may be the beginning of a new buildAR list.
His marketing is very unconventional but very effective. |

View Quote This is what I was thinking. If so, I'm not going to make then new list. Unless, I'm grandfather in from the last list. I bought every offer from the original list. I haven't bought anything from these October offers b/c I'm a flat trigger guy. I wish these past two offers had flat triggers b/c I would have bought them both. |

Before anyone goes into it, yes I know I am resurrecting a long-dead thread, however, I felt this was the best place to ask.
I am getting parts together to finally build a rifle with the Valkyre barrel, however, I don't have it with me. Does anyone know length and twist rate? I am thinking 18" 1:8 but not sure, thankd for the help. |

I just picked up my first trashcan gun last month, and then (of course) it looks like we're fixing to get into a pissing match with Russia so I snagged 2K+ rounds of 7.62x39 ammo while it's still relatively cheap.

One of my gift cards apparently wasn’t activated. They will call me on Monday to let me know if it is any good. Applied the others though.

I know I have one or two gift cards left but not sure of the balance...they might be expired too - it's been a while according to my order history.
|
|
|
Almost gave up faith - Lions going to the Super Bowl or this ... well at least one happened...with two gift cards still alive.

View Quote I don't think the gift cards expire... I had saved all of mine waiting on the bolt gun unicorn... Gave up on that...and literally used every single gift card I had a couple weeks back on a big order... Sure didn't expect to see another deal come down the line. Nice curveball tho... |

Just double checking I'm not missing anything... is it just the rifle, extra BCG, and the case for $2k or do you get the Harris bipod, Leupold and LT104 as well?

Also, why no TQ brake? PtAR is only a couple hundred more I think it's partly the tanodized receivers and handguard, the extra BCG you mentioned, hand assembled by LaRue armorers, and whatever other goodies are included. I'm not sure that LaRue has ever released a tanodized rifle before, so getting first dibs is a bit of a factor as well. Is this a limited release only? Who knows. But at the moment it's a rarity. You probably wouldn't have any problem recouping your investment if you decided to sell it. Plus, there's probably a little "winnowing" effect going on as to who is staying on the BuildAR merry-go-round. Is this the Grand Finale? Who knows. But every other time Mark has had a nut-cuttin' round, it's typically been followed up with an offering that made people wish they'd stayed in. Just some food for thought. |

Also, why no TQ brake? PtAR is only a couple hundred more View Quote Yeah, I paid around $1100 for an assembled FDE UU / parts kit and an FDE stripped lower. This does seem to be steep. Sounds like first dibs will be just that. Probably not a limited release. Maybe it is the grand finale. Question as I consider taking advantage of this offering. I’ve not owned a tanonized rifle. Do they command a steep premium? |

Checking out Instagram it looks like these are the rifles Mark posted on Feb 1st.
|
|
|
I’ll have to call the shop and see if I can get one but with a stripped lower instead.

Why is everyone saying it comes with 1 extra bcg? The email says 2 extra.
