So my first LAR-8 was the 20" Classic A2 which I loved. Felt perfect with the DPMS Ergo Tactical grip and the Magpul PRS buttstock with an Extension tube on it. Shot straight and true from the box, the first shot out of it was actually a kill shot on a Monster can.
Alas, I am just starting the married life and my wife is slightly anti-gun so I am only allowed one rifle and one shotgun at the moment. I plan on building my armory up further when we get a little bit more stable living style established.
Now I run with my LAR-8 20" Standard Operator, but I did get to keep the furniture from the first rifle with it. I am sorry about the picture, I need to take it outside and get some nice pictures of it, but you get to see my nasty apartment, so my apologies. So the stats on the new hotness are as follows:
RRA LAR-8 20" Standard Operator
Smith Vortex Flash Hider
DPMS Ergo Tactical grip
Magpul PRS buttstock w/ extension spacer
Charging Handle Latch Extension (brand escapes me at the moment)
UTG Bipod
UTG High Scope Rings
Nightforce NXS 12-42X56mm w/ MLR Reticule optics
What I would like to add:
Heavy Buffer Tube and Spring (any ideas on brand and where to find it?)
Smith Wind Talker Suppressor system
Fluted Match Grade Barrel (going to talk to GA Precision LLC about this, anybody dealt with them before?)
and a sling, but I can't figure out how to attach my web sling to the PRS buttstock in a way that really works, anybody have any ideas?
