Unboxing my new Larue PredatAR 5.56
“The PredatAR 5.56 is designed for those who are searching for a lightweight, ultra-reliable and accurate 5.56 mm NATO rifle for home-defense, competition-shooting or hunting. The PredatAR takes the highly accurate OBR 5.56 “Lite” design, and lightens it in every possible way with the least possible impact to the accuracy that the standard OBR is known for. By contouring the barrel, skeletonizing the handguard, lowering and simplifying the upper rail, and using a low-profile gas block, we were able to reduce roughly 1 pound from the standard OBR 5.56 rifle.
The barrels are lightweight-profiled with rifling in a 1/8 twist rate. All barrels are threaded in ½ x 28, with an A2 flash hider attached* (other muzzle devices can be added at an additional cost).
The handguards on the PredatAR extend out 14.75”, to suit a larger range of shooting styles. The zero-MOA upper rail provides plenty of room for weapon-mounted night-vision day/night combinations. Both the upper and lower are CNC-machined from billet aluminum for the optimum fit and consistency. Even though we lightened certain features, there is still additional material in strategic areas to achieve maximum accuracy. Each rifle ships with one, 3” long, MIL-STD-1913 detachable rail section.
Both models come with a 6-position LaRue RAT Stock and LaRue medium A-PEG™ Grip. The Bolt Carriers are hand-polished hard-chrome with staked carrier keys, with Texas-Spec Bolt assemblies.
(Iron Sights, Optics and QD mounts not included in price)
Base model includes LaRue RAT Stock and LaRue medium A-PEG™ Grip, 1 Aluminum Magazine, 1 Rail Strip, and A2 Flash Hider.
About LaRue Firearm Accuracy:
LaRue accuracy is known world-wide. The accuracy of each LaRue Rifle is proven at our 100-yard tunnel using match-grade ammunition. No LaRue firearm can leave the facility unless it obtains accuracy of less-than 1 MOA (1.047”) at 100 Yards. Each firearm ships with a copy of a 3-round group obtained from that actual firearm. While we guarantee the rifle is capable of sub-MOA accuracy, we can not guarantee the end-user will be able to shoot sub-MOA…since we have no control over shooting proficiency, familiarity with the system, ammunition choice, environmental factors, etc. LaRue firearms are precision instruments that require discipline, training, proper ammunition and maintenance to yield the best results. ” – The LaRue Website

Piston or D.I.?
The "clip" is actually a hammer spring, and the scope is pronounced "Loopold". Come on man……
Did you get the new jersey version or standard?
On AR15.com on the LaRue page Mark LaRue has an out shoot the shooter competition. Check it. But you have to shoot the group on a photo copy of your test target.
how long was the wait for the rifle?
Funny, they must have faith in their equipment. They give you some of those ARFCOM AR challenge targets. I believe the owner of La Rue played along there and was one of the top shooters with a very impressive sub moa target…. That's a damn nice rifle man.
Check inside the stock for a cleaning kit
Sorry that's not magpul furniture it's called a LaRue Rat stock and LaRue apeg grip but beautiful rifle!

God you can see the quality through a digital screen! After holding a LaRue I can't look at my BCM the same. It's great but I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a LaRue.
