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?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Duodec: Been trying to get the .224 Valkyrie built from the BuildAR barrel and bolt to run reliably. I don't have a LaRue upper receiver to put the barrel on right now so its on an Aero upper, but the lower assembly is 99% LaRue. I haven't found the cause of short stroking yet. Even borrowed the BuildAR chrome BCG and used it with the 6.8 bolt, no go. No pics until things run (if then). I also note that we're at 1/3rd of the way to the next quarter. Just sayin'. Mine was doing the same thing with the gas block wide open. After trying a LaRue fixed block I drilled the gas hole to the next larger drill bit I had and now I’m in business,can even close the gas block up some and she still runs like a Swiss watch |

Nicely done!
I’m jealous of that 3rd pin and hammer spur. The way they all should be! |

Mine has a LaRue fixed block also. Without a drill press I'm not overly excited about drilling the gas port in the barrel but so far ever other option has failed except for a lightweight (cut down) buffer spring, and with that it feels like the buffer bottoms out too hard. An H1 buffer didn't make a difference compared to an H2.
I'll take a look at that option. |

Good luck it was the only way mine would run reliably Pete |

I'm going to pick up an adjustable gas block also, in case a larger port overgasses the system, but we'll see what happens. I found a softer carbine spring and may try that with the H1 buffer before... sigh... buying a small drill press and using it on the floor... |

The good news is my .224 Valkyrie is much happier now with the enlarged gas port. I'm going to put the LaRue gas block back on it because I had the adjustable one wide open, and the LaRue is a better made and better sealing block. I have one PRI brand magazine that keeps acting like a short stroke is occurring but another PRI, varies AR-Stoner and C-Products magazines all worked without a hitch up to the limit of the ammo I was willing to expend. I need more! And to get some reloads made up with the 77 to 88gr bullets that occurred into my stash
 The other good news is we are now 2/3rds of the way to the next quarter for BuildAR, when who knows WHAT might happen! Holiday season lead-up would be such a great time for a new BuildAR announcement! |

According to Larues IG page he said this list has run its course. I was a true believer that we would get one more and he would announce it’s done. Now he’s potentially starting a new list if you bought one of the new limited run Dillos

Just saw this,I expected the list to go out with a bigger bang,but what the hell it was a good ride.
My guess is mark is just too busy and the buildAR became a pain in the ass,especially with the siete apparently never coming to fruition,just a few run and done. I wonder how many of us diehards were still on the list? |

BuildAR gift card question, Are we able to place the order on line and put comments in, and call the next business day to provide the gift card number? Or does the order have to be done on the phone with the gift card?
I just figure an electronic order is more likely to be accurate. |

My previous orders with BuildAR gift cards I called in. Since the order page won't accept them I was going to do the same. Isn't LaRue taking a while to return calls when they're backlogged? I'd worry about the order being processed before you could get that call to do the gift card.

Turns out would have been OK in any case. I had the order ready to submit, then called. When I got through (queue was 4, took about 5 minutes), they had me place the order online, give them the order number, and applied my last BuildAR gift card. So good to go and ready for the new list when/if it happens.
But now I need components or ammo for a new caliber.....
