Ordered 3/10 to go with my UU kit.
Customer service said 3-4 weeks when I inquired on 3/22. Asked again yesterday and they couldn't provide an estimated ship date. Curious who has received their lower and when the initial order was placed. |

Which finish? Buddy ordered before Christmas and they have been telling him 3 or 4 weeks everytime he’s called. His was FDE.

Ordered my UDE small frame on 12/3 arrived at my FFL on 3/16. Still waiting to pick it up, partly due to work schedule and then California's lame real ID issues. I'll get it on 4/21.

First lower (small frame) took about 4 months. Going on 2 months now for my large frame lower that I ordered in Feb.

Just picked up my 556 black that was ordered on 1-02-18. They have had some issues with their outside supplier, but it looks like that might has been worked out. Trust me it’s worth the wait. My lower is a jewel and can’t wait to put it together and put my SUURG upper on it.

Glad I got this Joe Bob lower put together, because this thread is DEPRESSING. lol
Judging by some of the replies, I'm looking at a June/July delivery for my small frame lower ordered early March. |
|
I'm now considering...
1. Use the UU supplied parts on a poverty pony lower 2. Sell larue lower in a year when it arrives 3. Profit??? |
|
Ordered mine 26 JAN (Black 556), still in lower's status. Bit of info they passed along the other day when I called was your lower will not ship until after your upper has. Said they had issues in the past with people getting the lowers first, canceling their uppers, then selling the lower on Gun Broker and EE for huge profits.
If you are waiting for lowers from SUURG orders it is going to be a while. They are working through QA issues, and don't want to send stuff out the door until its right. |

Glad I checked industry before calling.
I've got a good ways to go, ordered 03/28/2018. Just wish I hadn't placed other items in that same purchase. It's all going on same rifle so maybe it's best this way. They may have ended up on another project. |

i never thought i would see the day when Palmetto State Armory gets their orders out quicker than Larue Tactical does.
i agree its worth the wait. all 3 of mine turned out excellent but LT has really been lacking in the shipping department lately and it gets frustrating. i use to send people to their website when they asked abut my rifles but quit after they kept complaining to me about not receiving their UU kits they ordered in a timely manner. (black ordered by several) |
|
Can you imagine the amount of orders LT is dealing with right now?
I was impatient also, but realized these guys are backed up! Ask yourself..Is there a better value out there right now? Be patient it will be worth the wait.. |

7.62 UU FDE kit and lower ordered 3/20. Received upper kit 3/31. Received lower 4/4

I had a black 5.56 lower ship today - order date was 01/10/2018. The wait is no fun, but I remember when you couldn’t even order one.

Called today, the woman told me they wait "6-8 weeks after your upper ships" to start production of your lower. Lol

My UDE small frame arrived today. I ordered first part of February

FDE small frame lower ordered on 1/25/18 received today 5/2/18. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/253054/Larue_FDE_Lower-532040.JPG View Quote And I've got nothing - Status still says "Lowers". Got my FDE SUURG upper kit a couple of weeks ago. E-mailed customer service over a week ago to check status since I had received the SUURG upper and have heard nothing. Just crickets. |

I called this week as my UU shipped 4/22. Said they are still on January orders. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Damn, I didn't realize it was this long a wait for the lower when I ordered it.
The good news is that I ordered my ultimate upper kit last Sunday and it shipped on Wednesday. I guess I am in for a long wait for the lower. Good thing I have a few spare lowers sitting around that I can use in the mean time. Still it sucks to have a complete Larue Rifle minus the lower. I guess the wait can't be as bad as waiting for my Form 1 and Form 4 last year... |

My small frame FDE lower shipped today. Exactly 5 months to the day from when I ordered it.
Now if they'd just ship the FDE pistol grip and FDE RAT stock that I ordered 2 months ago...I could put it all together. |

I called LaRue today to find out what kind of lead time I was still looking at for my lower since my UU Kit was shipped on 4/10. Customer service said it's about 14 weeks (possibly sooner or later) from start to ship for small frame lowers and it doesn't matter what color it is. It's not a big deal to me, but I figured I would pass it along.

LaRue CS told me awhile back that lowers are built in batches when rifles are built. Not UU kits. Hence why there is a disconnect between UU kit order ships and lower ships.

Ordered 3/28. Big block, Black, and 6.5CM
Received UU on 4/13. Going by the 14 week time mentioned a few posts above, should hopefully see something mid-July. |

Ordered 2-28
Arrived 6-11 Black finish 5.56 Seems to be about the average wait time. |
