Does anyone have any idea on how to remove the barrel off a Larue OBR? I cannot find anything on line, i.e. the step by step. I understand that the barrel nut is epoxy on ant that you will need a lot of heat to break it free. Your thoughts.

I've never heard they've epoxied it on......
Doubt you'll find anything online since the cult of larue think the .308 is just fine for the most part.

I just happened to do that this morning and was told they do not sell the barrels separarly from the upper. I was wanted to find out if I could replace the barrel with the different length barrel. My rifle is an OBR 556.

Re: Larue OBR Barrel Removal
Gunbroker had a Larue OBR with a GA Precision barrel in it about 3 weeks ago for sale. I was gone in a blink of the eye, but GAP probably has some knowledge on what is involved.

Re: Larue OBR Barrel Removal
I can fit a blank. Just order a blank or heavy contour and we can turn it to fit.
Just did a mess of them for M-4's recently.
Be glad to help.

Re: Larue OBR Barrel Removal
Interested as well since LaRue's threading doesn't quite meet my needs for mounting a suppressor and they won't custom thread the muzzle.
I am guessing they don't do their own barrel work and that the barrels arrive chambered, threaded, and with the extension installed.

My understanding is that they are having Lothar Walther run the barrels.
They probably get the barrels profiled, chambered and threaded on both ends, and then just torque the extensions on and drill gas ports in house.
Either way, LaRue is not a custom shop.
They only seem to make "production" items.

Re: Larue OBR Barrel Removal
There was an OBR for sale here a few months back that had a new barrel on it. Wanna say it was done up in 260 rem.
For someone who piddles with this and has skills the sky is the limit. I.E. the wrench for the URX hand guards which cost a fortune. There is a thread over on ARFCOM from a guy who did a solid model then made the wrench. Pretty sure Longrifles and GAP can set you up though.

Wrong. To my knowledge LW only did the barrel profiles and that was it. LT does the chambering and threading.
