Lambo2936 297 Posted July 29, 2017 Id love to order this but im clueless as to what to pick LOL. Ive been looking to buy a 14.5" AR. Not sure if to go with the 10 or 13" rail. Also, im assuming the brake won't come pinned.. What lower would i get to match FDE or Black? I can't find stripped lowers on their site or do they not even have their own lowers? If i can find what lower i need to get and what it costs ill probably get a black one with FDE polymer kit or somethin. So, apparently they stopped selling lowers a few years ago.... whats a good lower that would go well with a LaRue kit like this one in Black? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo2936 297 Posted July 29, 2017 Anyone know what lowers work with these kits or if ANY lower would work? Whats a high end/similar quality lower that would work and look badass? Looks like they no longer sell lowers for whatever reason. I wish they had pics of the 10 and 13" rails as i have no idea what would go well with it.. and any idea if they pin the brakes for 14.5" barrel rifles? I know for actual rifles its mandatory that they pin it before shipping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,664 Posted July 29, 2017 Any standard at lower will work. That brake is a no-go in NJ as far as I can tell due to external threads. If you order the 14.5" barrel and they pin it you will have to cut it off and replace it. Get the 13" rail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo2936 297 Posted July 29, 2017 Oh crap. I'll have to email them then, haha. Its mandatory to pick a brake when you order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a gunsmith ream out the bore size of one of the muzzle brakes I have. Also, Aero makes FDE lowers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's it cost to pin a brake and stock and have the rifle assembled if i was to do it at a local gunsmith? TBH i've never built an AR.. wondering if its a good idea for me to try my luck on a kit like this. Was thinking black with FDE poly kit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a little steep because I’m not doing those things. Assembling an AR is really not difficult at all. And I’ve done many I was just being lazy because I’ve been working and traveling so much it could end up sitting for months before I get to it. You can assemble it yourself and take it to someone to pin and weld 30 bucks or so if you have the break already. If you’re close to Steve at Monmouth I think he does pinning for a great price. Reach out to him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im extremely handy, tbh, but given the extremely small margin of error in a firearm i try not to test my luck. Lucky you with your friggin SBRs. Enjoy the freedom. *Update for NJ Purchasers*: Just spoke to LaRue and it is MANDATORY that you purchase the illegal Brake. It's part of the package deal. They basically said to just sell it on eBay and buy a different brake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like to use a thread lubricant and a torque wrench on the barrel nut. That's the only thing that really is assembled on an upper. It really isn't that difficult.

I'll probably just sell it on eBay or somethin and order a Precision Armament M4-72 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted July 31, 2017 Take a dremel to the threads and smooth it out, then hit it with some gun blue. Don't even need to do all the way around - just like the bottom. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't even need to do all the way around - just like the bottom. Didnt even think about that. That'd probably do the trick. If i can't sell the brake quickly ill probably just do that and save myself the headache, but for the 15$ in eBay fees and shipping if i CAN sell it i probably will in favor of another brake. There's better performers out there, i believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambo2936 297 Posted July 31, 2017 F*** me i just ordered one. I'm so excited i may have tinkled a bit. Finally gettin that black 14.5" i wanted (uhhh).

bhunted 887 Posted July 31, 2017 You remind me of my ex wife. "Oh! Its on sale. We really don't need it but for $200 on sale for $150, its a steal." "We'll save $50 bux!" Forget the fact that we'd save $150 and not buy it at all. I have more than enough ARs now and while I think it is a great deal, I really don't need it. I'd rather buy something I really want.[emoji6]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
