This has to be the BEST July 4th EVER for me!!!
So I walked into the Fort Worth Gun Show Two weeks ago and the First Table I came across Changed My Life! I was in shock and couldn't believe my very own eyes when I saw a Brand New Never Fired Larue Tactical PredatOBR 7.62 Sitting right in front of me!
It has always been my Dream to own a Larue OBR but for one reason or another either due to funds or waiting time I could never bring myself to order one. However this to me was Destiny. I immediately knew what I was looking at and just How Rare it is to see one of these at a small local gun show especially Brand New Unfired. So I stood there with the rifle in my hand and drooled over it for what seems to be eternally. Finally the owner walked up to me and said "You look like a guy who would appreciate this special rifle". and He was right...
I've been wanting, waiting, procrastinating forever. But the fact that this gun is literally in my hands right now changed Everything. I knew right there and then that I MUST HAVE THIS. The owner lives in South Austin TX and I'm in DFW so it's a good 3-4 hour drive each way. But I was willing to make that trip if I have to. I asked the owner if he could hold on to it for me until I have the funds but he says this one is first come first serve which was understandable.
All I can do now is pray that it doesn't get Sold that weekend and it didn't. Meanwhile I have too much tide up in my current collection so to make this purchase some things has Got To Go! In the following two weeks I constantly checked in with him to see if it's still there and did everything I could to sell my POF P308 and my Armalite AR10. Finally as of Yesterday I had barely enough cash to make the purchase. The owner saw how much I wanted the Larue and how persistent I was and he even cut me some slacks on the price since I had to drive 8 hours round trip to get it. The price was More Than Fair which is about the Same as it would be if I bought it from Larue Directly. However Thank God I don't have to deal with the Year and Half of Waiting!!!
So yesterday I made the longest journey ever on purchasing a fire arm. It was definitely a trip to remember and a story to tell as I drove through 3 Different Thunder Storms, a Flat Tire and a Dam Speeding Ticket to get this Gun!!!
But at last, when I finally had it home in my Hands it was ALL WORTH IT. It was truely Mine and a Dream Come True. Sorry about the LONG STORY but Just thought it was more meaning to share the story and the Rifle together with Everyone.
Here's some Pictures after I got home and got it all Dressed Up (Literally Immediately)
The Build and Finish is The Best I've Ever Seen/Felt on any AR. The AR Gold Trigger is so Crisp and Light it gave me goosebumps. The Upper/Lower Fit, the Rail the Stock and Most Importantly the 18" Match Grade Barrel. This was the EXACT SETUP that I wanted if I were to order one myself. It was truely meant to be!
Vortex Viper PST FFP 4-16 x 50mm MRAD
ADM 30mm QD Mount with 20 MOA Built in Cant
Magpul BUIS
AT Las Bipod
Surefire Socom 7.62 Muzzle Brake
All came off of my sold .308 ARs. So I pretty much had everything I needed to get out and shoot!
This has to be the BEST JULY 4th EVER For Me!
More Range Reports to Come later. Be Safe Guys, Happy July 4th GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
