Larue COMPLETE lowers - $200 for AR-15 and $300 for AR10

What @JEVapa was referencing involved around a 10-14month wait for >$10K order. Things happened, and there ended up being an unknown additional wait time. Jevapa got involved, and **** showed up in a few weeks at most.


I’m convinced he has a red phone to LaRue’s office. Or photos of Mark LaRue defiling a goat. Possibly both. Either way, things got resolved with a quickness.

What @HoLeChit just said.
Take off your scope. Try to squeeze it together with your hands or set it on a bench and tap the upper with your hand or a plastic mallet. Stay away from the tang.
That’s a billet upper from another company trying to go into a billet lower from another company. The lug is going to be harder than the forged ones. It’ll still go together most likely.

I’d also try to slap them together with some force. I do that with a couple of LT guns I already have. They’re a lot tougher than you might think.

Lgs figured it out, buffer tube was slightly over tightened. He Backed it off a bit and now it fits like a top.

Thanks for all the advice!

Believe it or not that was my guess but I thought that would be too obvious when trying to close the upper so maybe it was something else.

I see you are in Shawnee. Which LGS did you use?

 

[JEVapa]

That’s not common at all and preventable

Yeah I was hoping LaRue had a little better QC than that.

Considering they are pumping out 3200 of these puppies in 60 days I can see how some of the QC could have slipped. As long as it easily fixable I would take this risk/vs reward deal again

Yep, for the price you paid I wouldn't complain either.

A lot of ''lower tier'' companies get dinged for easily remedied QC issues here though so LaRue should at least be held to the same standard as them.

I like some of their products and run the MBT in my ARs. I would most likely have a few of their rifles if they weren't so expensive but it just shows that not even the companies that are considered higher quality get it right all the time.

I know it's too late now, but for future reference it's always angle grinder then gunsmith.
