edgecrusher Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 larue tactical has announced at shot show 2011 that they will be offering a light weight version of the obr, dubbed the predator, for both calibers of the obr. it will be offered in 16 and 18 inch barrels, offering the 16 inch obr 308 model at an unloaded weight of under 8 lbs!!! i just sent them an email inquiring when they will be accepting orders and will keep everyone up to date. can't wait to add it to my 20" standard as a battle rifle in my safe!

edgecrusher Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Posted February 25, 2011 <dontknow> , breathe, eat, shoot, play hockey,sex,sleep,repeat, oh yeah work to buy more gold medal match!
edgecrusher Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Posted February 25, 2011 momma san agrees, speaking of momma san, she is a wacky lefty, and loves to shoot my obr but doesn't seem to have any options in our favorite caliber. any help here drew?
imschur Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Im a lefty in a righty world as well. I have conformed.. ;D
survivalshop Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Ambidextrous controls. Mag release,bolt catch etc.. If you have a side charger ,well ya will have to get used to it ,in a righty world .The std charging handle of an AR is ambidextrous.Its latch can be manipulated with ether hand .
edgecrusher Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Posted February 25, 2011 i think for her it's an ejection port thing. brass whizzing in front of her eyes. she is thinking of a stag, which may end up being my first frankengun. never did a real build but i would try to make it the best i could for her. i would feel better about building her a 71 chevelle with 454 and 200 shot!
survivalshop Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 If you can build that, than you won't have a problem with an AR . A lefty is no different .That ejection thing, you just have to get used to it.Everyone should be practicing with the weak hand also . Even your side arms should be practiced both ways ,just not as much. My wife is also a lefty & she has learned to fire right handed ,both in AR's & hand guns.
edgecrusher Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Posted February 25, 2011 jp from larue just emailed me, he says they will take the pre- order now, except they will not send me the rifle with with the ctr stock, only an a2, which he says is all they ship to mass. that's bs because my obr came with a prs, which i know is fixed, but come on, i don't have a machine shop at home but drill a hole, pin it, tack with a welder and done. little frustrated now
imschur Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Thats a typical response. Here in CT the work needs to be done out of state. To bring it in to the state and mod it would be illegal, a felony.FFL's wont even accept it
edgecrusher Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Posted February 25, 2011 here too, this is crap, does a collapsable stock all of a sudden make it more dangerous? shit, correct me if i'm wrong but don't it go BOOM! <dontknow>
imschur Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 preaching to the choir. Lets be glad they are this stupid. It could be worsehere too, this is crap, does a collapsable stock all of a sudden make it more dangerous? shit, correct me if i'm wrong but don't it go BOOM! <dontknow>
edgecrusher Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Posted February 25, 2011 could be a total deal breaker, i hate to say it, but that's that. i've also been talking to primary weapon systems, and they will pin the stock, their rifle is also in the realm of what want, i.e. light weight .308 battle rifle. yes they have a piston system, but i haven't found any negative feed back, online or on paper, to sway me away. oh larue you broke my heart :(
