texizonan84 @laruetactical Don't own any of your rifles...yet. But, love your mounts and the dillo opens my beers. Converted my Fudd neighbor into getting an ar recently and he picked up a lower kit off of yall.
whiskee_charlie Don't know from personal experience but many I trust vouch for the LaRue rifles. My wallet isn't that large. But someday. For now I can attest that the triggers and mounts are awesome. Awesome for me and what I like. That said, I'll keep buying them until the cows come home. Glad I got a single stage when they were available. Really really like that one
redline_bbq So @wilsoncombat is in a league of its own and that's why it's not on the chart???
j.w.ne Sometimes brand loyalty is more about justifying to yourself the money you've spent. But occasionally it is totally justified.
j.w.ne I can wholeheartedly say the my OBR and PredatOBR ARE worth the price. So is my Noveske and LWRC and SIGs but so is my Stag. Worth what I paid for them.

- bourbon_bastard @trigga_3_ They make great weapons. They just need to learn more about business integrity, ethics and customer service. If you are willing to accept all of those as substandard, you will end up with a great weapon.... eventually 😗
- breedlove.ben @bourbon_bastard yea I never got a call back from their salesman who literally scheduled a call time with me to order. And then I noticed they jacked their prices up by like 500 or more
- bourbon_bastard @breedlove.ben Sounds like what most now expect from Radian. Like I said, good product but horrible customer service. There are better options out there in my opinion with much better customer service. When I am paying a premium price for weapons, I expect excellent customer service.

Maybe, just MAYBE I got a really well made DPMS or perhaps I just had gotten lucky by finding one for a great deal right before they started making crappy ARs 🤷

sir_wyatt_of_carlsbad I've built many ARs in both 556 and 308 and it is more of a consistency factor that many companies lack. One of my "high tier" uppers on this list has tons of slop. It is a nice upper but I've tried slapping it on a dozen lowers and it rattles. When I open my rear takedown pin on my Predatobr, I have to use my knee for leverage to crack that sucker open. It has zero slop. You could damn near run it without takedown pins. Those tolerances are unmatched.

I have waited longer... for Larue in 2008, tax stamps, MP5 build, even babies take 9 months, but you get what you pay for and don't pay till you get it. I hope yours gets here soon! 1 like

- craig_blockhead @venomfirearmsimaging I do ! I also have LMT and it's right there as far as quality, accuracy & reliability. I guess because a special ops group or military don't use it or when they submitted there gun they were under priced and did not get the contract. Guess nobody can make anything better then what's listed on the top tier uh ?
- craig_blockhead @muh_name_bocefus I don't think you'll be disappointed.
- venomfirearmsimaging @craig_blockhead making a pretty rifle and making a rifle that will survive SOF use are different things. That said, it's not as if the models used by SOF are those available to the public, so it's more about the manufacturer, development, quality, and any carry-over reliability from those models used by SOF. Knights, HK, Wilson, FNH are known for doing just that to the degree they can. LMT is nice stuff, they're going after more MIL contracts and I know they have a few under their belt. LWRC, I'll be honest, I see a pretty gun with little backstory.
- craig_blockhead @tx_gunnut I would think someone does
- qbanwarrior305 @venomfirearmsimaging Till you own an LWRC. Very well overbuilt. Their barrels have phenomenal accuracy. I used to think the same till I purchased one. They are overbuilt. I own an M6 IC SPR self regulating piston system. Downfall is She's a heavy bitch 3 likes

josh.macintyre No exaggeration. Your absolutely #1 Mark. Some of those guys are making some nice rifles. But none of them stand by their products like you do. When I was first getting into the 7.62 AR game it was LaRue or LMT. Called LMT and they said no accuracy guarantee for a $3500 rifle. So now I have a safe full of LaRue Tactical rifles. 🔥

- jaylaroux @rgh3553 yeah, when that conglomerate bought bushmaster they fired everyone or they left. The owners started Windham and brought most of their workforce and moved to Maine. Left maryland and their ghey laws and brought most of the team with them. They make good rifles. Don't know how someone could put a thousand dollar base rifle in the same tier as a five hundred dollar rifle.
