Blemish on new LaRue 7.62 lower receiver.
- Thread starter Nepa1990
- Start date
Larue mags are top notch. right up there with KAC factory 20 rounders.
The UU kits are a really good deal. Is Larue the greatest shit ever? No. Are they better than 90% of the shit on the market? I would say yes.
Both the Large and the small frame UU are one of the best deals out there. High quality parts , feature rich. Are they $3K+ quality? No but you are paying 1/3 of that.
You are right on, these are priced next to shit like PSA, MP10 and other bottom barrel guns.
I have 2 of them and have been pleasently suprised by them. The long wait sucks but show me something else with comparable quality even $500 more. Plan to drop in a proof carbon 6.5G when I shoot mine out.
Personally speaking, as long as one know what they are buying, and be realistic in their expectations out of the rifle, i see no issues with any of the lower priced stuff. For example, Larue has a 3000 dollar option, and they also have a 1300 dollar option. I am not saying that the 1300 dollar option is a bad rifle in any respects, but its not going to be built to the same standard as the 3000 dollar option. As long as the 1300 dollar option runs reliably and offers acceptable accuracy from the barrel profile, it can be an awesome option for somebody.
Personally speaking. While Mark is not my favorite internet personality , I would absolutely pick one of their Large frame UU kits before say PSA or SW.
The only other 308 rifle in that price range that I would consider is the Sig 716i Tread. Its seems a little heavier, and is a Sig, so QC is iffy at best.
It sure is.

It’s hilarious, they are calling him a crybaby and drama queen over there to.
Waiting for him to post on nextdoor so he can rally all the Karen’s next.
Hey Dave or op or whatever ur name is. I got a stack of brand new aero lowers both gen 2 and m4e1. I will take that blem off your hands for any 2 of the Aeros u want. Will even send you pics of each one so you can pick the prettiest. Get me ur FFL info. Larue sucks you don’t want them anyway. @Nepa1990 .
The funny thing is that he is saying that he is going to sell or return the LT and pick up an SR25. Dude is going to stroke out when he finds out that Mil guns may not be up to his cosmetic standards
Oh Just remembered,
When I put called up the Mil sales guy and put in my ordered, I asked them if they could mount a MAMS on it and they told me nope... Call one if there vendors/armors to set that up. They don't do quasi custom orders. I laughed about that, but I get it, considering there main market. Its all good. Going to run my Dead Air Sandman until I track down one of there newer PRS cans.
Hi,
LOLOLOL There are a few entertaining threads recently, lol.
Told you all the OP was trying to sell via the "Complain and advertise" method.
Sincerely,
Theis
No, decided to just build the lower and use it as-is.
Those indents could cause a crack to start there due to being a weak point in the material, you sure it will be okay?
Lol. So contributing nonsensical posts about cheap bargain lowers is your criteria for contributing? Moronic at best, pathetic logic at present
Touche....
Op should just use it, its fine and function doesn't mind marks
Honestly, cosmetic issues are near the bottom of my list of priorities. I'm sure someone has mentioned this before, but IMHO, a basic AR lower receiver is a basic AR lower receiver and this is one of the reasons why I buy the cheaper PSA and rebuild on it.
I agree with you that when you pay more, you deserve to get a great product. I just choose not to spend good money for non-mechanical reasons.
Really, it's my problem, not yours.
My rifles work, and in truth, they tend to get beat up a bit after awhile. I could let it bother me, but choose not to. When I see that ding or three, I think of it as added character. You'd probably get irked at the few deep dings my pre-war Garand's stock has acquired, too but I takes what I get and it does what it does, no biggie. It' just character.

Great post
Speaking of garands, i put a nic on a vg condition McFarland stock on 43 springfield. Boy was i pissed the realized, its character of sorts
Those inclusions are indicitive of micro cracks and as you use the gun those cracks will grow eventually turning your gun into a grenade. I would suggest shooting only in a full suit of body armor with Helmet and ANSI rated eye protection. Also make sure your will is up to date and you dont have any porn on your computer.

I guess the chances of that happening will make range days interesting.. at the least. If I meet my end in the explosion I won’t care about the porn found or the poor bastards who will have to foot the bill for my expenses.
You should call LaRue and tell them they sold you an unsafe product that will grenade.
Body armor or EOD vest? You also forgot to add a helmet for his johnson.
I bought a new LaRue 7.62X51 PredatAR with a 16"bbl. 2.5-10 Vortex Viper it was flawless when received in 2010/11 (I think) but it has more than a few character marks now the results of a match where you have 20min to shoot 20 rounds at ranges from 100yrds standing 1 round to 700yrds prone at a target bearing a face you have had 10min to look at. You fire your 1st shot standing from the bench at 100yrds and then you have the rest of your time to identify and engage targets bearing the face assigned to you from 200 to 700yrds and usually the yardage is not a even number not 700yrds, but 696 or 432 0r 538. I'm old and slow so I lose the match during the snail crawl I do from the bench to the prone position!!!
I ordered an Issue Grade DCM Garand sometime back in the early 1990's for $250. It arrived by mail and in the box was a nice Garand vacuum packed in a plastic bag; no Cosmo. Upon opening, it was literally unmarked, except for a fairly prominent dent in the lower front part of the stock. It has a 5 digit SA serial. Being Garand illiterate at the time, I also noted that there was NO wear on the metal, the only wear was the wear I was putting on it by cycling the action manually.
I had literally no idea what it was that I held in my hand. I took it to the range, ran some 150gr American Eagle through it and pronounced it just dandy. I had been trained at Camp Geiger on the Garand in 1966. It was my issue rifle during ITR training; so the operator issues were ingrained.
In the next few months it became one of my early glassbedding projects, and was also subjected to a buncha coats of hand rubbed boiled linseed oil. The monster ding remains, as it should.
Shooting somewhat better now with the glassbedding, I started collecting and reading the available literature.
It was fabricated in October of 1940. It is shooting to National Match specs (with handloads), and without any metal mods (still hasn't any). I added the N/M sights, front and rear, and substituted that gawshawful looking extended rubber buttpad to accommodate my lanky build.
The rifle is a dream to shoot. I have turned down 5K to sell it. I did a Summer handloading project, and built up 1000rd of M2 Ball Equivalent in clips and M-1923 ammo belts (4 50 cal cans), and collected up a pretty full set of available Garand tools.
About the only thing I'm not equipped to do is change a barrel. The current barrel is marked as a 1953 Winchester. The rifle's overall appearance is of an arsenal rebuild in the Korean War Era.
She comes out to play every Spring and Autumn. It is joy defined.

He is banned. He can't answer. Not sure if he is coming back.
I'm sure. I thought the vibe was a little less aggressive elitist around here.
I do live in MD, love hard crabs, love good soft shells even more.
I crab w a buddy who lives off the Chester River. It’s his boat we use and we are going to set it up w a trot line this year. Been using pots so far but looking to up our game.
as for the fella who was banned, I’m not not heartbroken at his absence, tbh.
Sell it and start over if you don’t like it or you won’t wont ever be happy. There are companies that give a shit.
When I got to Ft. Benning in spring of 2001, they handed me an FN with a bunch of blemishes. The receiver had silver marks all over it and talk about the scratches! Fucking tools. I told 'em I wasn't gonna take that shit, that they could do better. I got my drill sergeant to file a complaint.
Eventually I got to my unit and we all got brand new in the box Colts --without the blemishes. Ah, bliss.

The first time I took my wife to the range (then gf), I brought some bolt guns and my KAC SR15. We shot some bolt guns, and then swapped over to the KAC. The wife fired off two rounds, looked at me with a huge smile on her face and said "that's a bad bitch!".
She considers the KAC hers now. Some days I feel like she just married me for the KAC
