    Larue OBR 18"

    Re: Larue OBR 18" Glad to hear they have a new lower mount available. I think it was inevitable considering the rail height. At least it seems to show they are recognizing it was an issue for which they needed a solution.

    "The One"

    Re: "The One" Congratulation, that is a beautiful rifle. I have a request in for a build quote and hope to get something moving soon. Is that the mil-spec OD finish? Did you get their scope mount that comes with the rifle (as I understand it)? Lastly, thank you for your service to our...

    Brand new LMT... Broke

    Re: Brand new LMT... Broke Sorry to hear of your experience - that has to be disheartening, but LMT does make great guns. They are doing themselves a huge disservice with that freakin poor excuse for a torque wrench though. This is not the first time I've heard of this happening.

    Larue OBR 18"

    Re: Larue OBR 18" I think "16 weeks" is the standard line that everyone gets. By all appearances, the wait times seem to be well beyond that for most. Because I have no other options for precision shooting at this time, the wait time will ultimately factor into my buying decision. I have a...

    Larue OBR 18"

    Re: Larue OBR 18" Well, I got off the fence and ordered. OBR 7.62 - 16" PRS stock SSA-E trigger This rifle will be run suppressed exclusively. I have a new TBAC 30P-1 (thread-on) waiting for a home. I was told 16 weeks, which is more than reasonable to me. I won't be counting them, so if...

    Larue OBR 18"

    Re: Larue OBR 18" Good to know. I have no issue with waiting for a quality rifle. I know some of the custom bolt-action builders are getting out there with time frames. I have a buddy who has been waiting 11 months now for a bolt action from well-known builder on this site. He was...

    Larue OBR 18"

    Re: Larue OBR 18" Yep - PredatOBR would be more ideal for my purposes. Solves the "issue" - that's what I consider it - of the 20 MOA rail. I communicated with Larue recently and they will not reveal any info on the availability of the PredatOBR. They will take pre-orders though. Whatever...

    Larue OBR 18"

    Re: Larue OBR 18" Popndrop, Glad to hear your feedback on the OBR. How much clearance did you have between the rail and scope objective when using the Larue mount? Did you have back-up iron sights mounted? I am getting ready to order a 18" OBR 7.62 and plan to mount a 4-16x42 as low as I...

    My Lucas Bore Guide Arrived Today

    Re: My Lucas Bore Guide Arrived Today Are these guides caliber/chamber specific or made for particular models of a rifle. I was wondering if I get a .308 bore guide from Mr Lucas, can I use it in a bolt gun and a semi-auto rifle? Thanks.

    Larue OBR - barrel thread length and suppressors

    Anyone have info regarding the barrel thread length on the OBR rifles and their compatibility with thread-on suppressors? Specifically, I am looking at the OBR for use with the TBAC 30P-1. My TRG-22 has threads/shoulder beautifully cut by Mark at Short Action Customs for a perfect fit with the...

    What every Man needs to know about Prostate Cancer

    Re: What every Man needs to know about Prostate Cancer Guys need to know that the prostate biopsy is nothing to be concerned about (if it comes down to that). Experiences vary as to how awful it is. I was told by a guy he'd rather have full-blown surgery than go through the biopsy again...

    Suppressors Thunder Beast Suppressor Owners

    Re: Thunder Beast Suppressor Owners Just picked up my TBAC 30P-1 a few weeks ago from Mark at Short Action Customs, but have not had it out yet. Had previously owned a quick-detach suppressor from a well-known manufacturer that I tried to make work in the precision-rifle role. Had trouble...

    Package from M. Gordon

    Re: Package from M. Gordon I was fortunate enough to visit Mark last week to pick up my new TBAC 30P-1 (about 1.5 hr drive for me). While I was there, he threaded my barrel to the class 3 specs required by TBAC. The can threads onto that barrel in a very smooth manner with no hint of binding...

    Issue with TRG-22 stock/magazine after disassembly

    Re: Issue with TRG-22 stock/magazine after disassembly Problem resolved after following the advice provided above. In retrospect, I don't know why I did not try that earlier, but it probably had something to do with concerns of screwing up something. Many thanks to all who took the time...
