    I normally buy the MEGA matched set. It all gets built into something someday, might as well have a nice matching set.

      I talked to someone at Larue customer service last Friday, he said there wasn't any possibility to add a Larue lower to the deal if I purchased the upper kit.

      Also, there is no set timeline for this deal to be over just yet. No guarantees that it will last indefinitely. Also, no definitive answers on what the lead time is for orders placed at this time.

        Ordered one in black yesterday. I already have a Larue lower so it is going to match nicely. I really didn't NEED another 6.5 G upper but this was just too good of a deal to pass up. I'll post up some range results when it comes and I get it all put together.

          Noveske makes an awesome Gen 3 billet lower with a generous funnel mag well.

              My understanding is they did something similar a while back with people who had purchased their uppers. They were given the opportunity to purchase a LaRue lower with MBT. When asked on another forum, Mark replied that "they are keeping track of who is purchasing" and implied that could happen again.

              I'll be patient for a while, but if Mark doesn't come through I'm going to post pics of a Larue upper mated to a purple polymer lower.

                Is it the plain FDE (H-265) or the Magpul FDE or Glock FDE? I requested swatches of each to match the LaRue but they only had FDE in stock. I'm going to coat a plain forged lower and hope I get the chance at a LaRue lower.

                  I built my Grendel on a billet receiver set from Sun Devil mfg and I am very happy with it. It is very tight fitting together.

                    Regular FDE.

                    The Tranquillo brake also is specific to 6.5mm, with a final bore ID of .298", so diametrically, you have .017" of clearance on each side of the projectile shooting 6.5mm. It's a very effective brake for how small diameter the OD of the brake is. Sounds like a Robo Cop gun with a high-pitched bark.

                      For anyone that received theirs, did they send any keymod rail sections with it?

                      Thanks

                        Thank you.

                        I'm interested in seeing the brake. I'm going to try making an adapter so I can use a Form 1 can. I've never attempted internal threading before, should be interesting.

                          Just received mine yesterday, nine days from order for a standard black finish model. No keymod sections in my box.

                            What are you doing wasting your time typing here for? Go shoot it and feed our need to see it in action, LOL

                              I haven't opened my box. Black on black Grendel. I'm thinking about my options, but giving it to my dad for Xmas along with his customary CaseXXX seems appropriate. Maybe even with my Cross lower in another box.., Man, I'd pay to see Dad that happy. Anyone else gonna sit on theirs?

                                Well mine came in yesterday and I assembled it this morning. The fit and finish of these parts is excellent and I am loving the look of this upper. One bummer is the FDE is nowhere near a match to my cerkoted Aero lower or my Duracoated Palmetto lower seen in these pictures so I hope that LaRue offers a lower down the line that matches. It wont keep me from shooting it though. I decided not to assemble any of the lower parts since I dont have a matching lower. The lower I have it on has a Geisselle SSA-E trigger so that is the one I want to shoot it on. I will have it out for testing next week. LaRue.jpgLaRue2.jpg
