Re: Anyone using a PRS stock on a RRA LAR-8?
Did you get the AR10 version of the PRS? The Cheek riser is set farther back on that model when compared to the AR15 version.

Re: Anyone using a PRS stock on a RRA LAR-8?
As lonewolf said, there are two versions. Take a look at the bottom of the PRS, it should tell you which model it is, the AR15 or the 308 version. if it is the 308 u should be good to go.
To clear it you need 0.6" to clear on the side of the charging handle from the edge of the cheek peice.

oh and make sure you have your buffer and spring in it when checking clearance with the charnging handle. Remember, it does not compress 100%, thus the distance is less

Re: Anyone using a PRS stock on a RRA LAR-8?
Guys...you missed the point. He is trying to install an AR-10 PRS on a RRA LAR-8.
The LAR-8's charging handle is about a 1/4" too long to allow the even the AR-10 PRS stock to work on the LAR-8. Again, more stupid engineering (or lack thereof) on RRA's part in designing a platform that won't work with one of the mostg popular aftermarket stocks available.
Dremel it...it'll work then. It's only a $250 stock...what could it hurt!!!

Re: Anyone using a PRS stock on a RRA LAR-8?
I knew the handle was longer before I bought the rifle. I am happy with my decision and knew I was going to have to cut the stock. I just figured I am not the only one that has done this and wanted to see some before I started cutting.

Re: Anyone using a PRS stock on a RRA LAR-8?
All you need to do is set the cheek piece to the proper height for your setup, measure (2x) where you need to cut, mark it off, then take a Dremel cut-off wheel, sander, etc. to it and relieve the riser slowly until you have what you need?
If you still aren't comfortable doing it without pics, try ARFCOM. IIRC, there is a 30+ Page thread on the RRA LAR-8 and various "issues" with the rifle. I am SURE someone over there has brought this issue up at least once and pics may be available. If not, try posting your question there and see what you can reel in.
If you do finally decide to do it, you can always do a step-by-step pictoral with directions on getting the PRS altered to properly work with the LAR-8.
Good luck!

I have tried AR15.com. One guy said he has done it. He said he will try to get a pic. I should have my upper back from the smith tomorrow and I will get it started. I will post some pics when its done. I will also post pics of the flush cup install I did on the PRS last night.
