Cali_Ed Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 This from the lar8, these dont fit the dpms do they? Looking for something almost just like this. If this does fit the dpms then it ends here.
shibiwan Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 There are only two barrel nut thread sizes in use with the 308AR. There's the standard "DPMS" thread size and the "Armalite" thread size. Not sure which one the LAR8 uses.
unforgiven Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 The barrel nut is propritary for Lar-8,so sez RRA http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=451 I think one of the members made a DPMS handguard work on a Lar-8.
Cali_Ed Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 I've seen dpms rail thats kinda like this but i just dig this one also liked the sws sniper tube with narl grip but its only for ar10 , if i can make the lar rail work some how id like to go that route
Cali_Ed Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 Yeah been looking at the pri iii just looks so plain lol . I guess im on the end of losing battle. The funny thing is the Daniel defense light quad rail weighs 1 oz less the the pri carbon fiber one. I thought carbon fiber was suppose to be lighter?
shibiwan Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 So according to one of our older forum posts, the LAR-8 upper uses the AR-10 thread. So that should eliminate it from fitting on any DPMS-pattern upper.
Cali_Ed Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 Thank you for your time sir. That sucks then i guess pri is only choice, do you guys suggest any others similar to the lar?
shibiwan Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 What are you specifically looking for in a float tube? Certain look? Certain features?
Cali_Ed Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 Looks like the lar8 tube or something light weight between 13-15" i just like the half quad rail look instead of the full rail. Maybe some modular rails
blue109 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Thought I read the LAR8 uses AR10 threads, but the depth is different. The PRI tube is way overbuilt since it was designed for the high speed folks. It's also pretty old compared to the new lightweights. It's an outdated system, but I still love it.

shibiwan Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Looked at any of the Keymod rails yet? Like this one from CMMG Or Midwest... Edited February 21, 2014 by shibiwan
Cali_Ed Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Those key mod ones from mi are auper light compared to what I've been looking at. Are key mods the new thing they have been poping up more or maybe it's just my lack of info haha. Do u get color choices with those shibi? And thanks gain for your info and time. Ps. Do those come with just the full top rail and have to purchase the other three sides seperately? Blue your riifles are some sexy beasts Edited February 21, 2014 by Cali_Ed
shibiwan Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) The Key Mod ones are the new craze. It's a new "open" standard to allow rail and parts interchangeability. Not sure on color choices though. Oh and if you're looking at a PRI tube, I have an unused "takeoff" CMMG Mod1 tube that you may be interested in... cheap. It's a midlength though. One of the most comfortable float tubes around. Edited February 21, 2014 by shibiwan
Cali_Ed Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 Ah i see idk if i wanna be pRt of some craze haha I'll keep it in mind
blue109 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Whoda thunk that the next big AR craze would come from the industrial shelving industry. At least I can say my work bench is tactical now. Edited February 21, 2014 by blue109
planeflyer21 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I'd thought that Armalite and RRA had the same forearm threading. Anyone have one nearby, we can give it a try?
shibiwan Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Whoda thunk that the next big AR craze would come from the industrial shelving industry. At least I can say my work bench is tactical now. LOL industrial shelving....I suspect Costco has something to do with it! <lmao> <laughs> It's a fashion accessory/statement for some shooters. Personally, I don't really care. As long as I have a good stable place to mount my bipod and crap I'm happy. :D You should see this cheap-ass (< $40) float rails I put on the new 300BLK upper.

Cali_Ed Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 Thats why i liked the lar half quad rail doesn't look so busy in my eyes any ways i guess pri is the only one that comes the closest?
planeflyer21 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Chit dude that just permanently turned me off the key mod. Unless I can get a key mod shaped like that to fit with duct tape!
shibiwan Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Keymod! NICE... I LIKEY TEH DESERT TAN CERAKOTE Isn't that the VLTOR CASV-Keymod system? http://www.vltor.com/product/casv-km-ar-15-handguard-with-keymod/ <lmao> <laughs> Edited February 21, 2014 by shibiwan
Cali_Ed Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Posted February 21, 2014 That is one crazy looking thing
