Thread: Who's running RRA LAR-8's?

Hey team,

who out there are running the RRA LAR-8's....I am the proud owner of a Varmint 26" now and are planning a few changes, so after ideas, suggestions from those who have been there done that, on barrel length, handrail options, suppression pointers/issues and glass options..

Cheers all

Lose about 8"

Exactly what I was thinking. And 1/3-1/2" barrel diameter

I had a 20" Predator LAR 8. Man was that thing heavy! Too much weight for me to carry round for any period of time and too expensive for
a range toy, so I sold it and got an AR15.

And lose the horrible stock and handguard

Don't hold back guys.....hahaha

No cheers, you have all hit the nail on the head, I intend to remove 6" at the least but might go to 18" once I have talked it over with the guys at HRE, I have a PRI .936 low pro gas block enroute from from the states as we speak, also going to have the barrel fluted.......which leads me into the next issue the "handguard" replacement...Check I am waiting cover the gas block and might look at getting one custom made....next is a supressor again HRE....
not sure about the stock as yet it has a Operator A2 Stock on at the moment (I'm still over seas working due home middle of the month so will make a de on that then) but I might put a SERVO style I see a lot with Magpul PRS but they look heavy....
Versa pod enroute as well....
Have a Nightforce mount 20 MOA on the way, and am looking at either the Vortex Viper PST SFP 6x24-50 or Leupold LR T M5 Mark 4 Rifle Scope 8.5-25X 50 TMR 30mm Illum Reticle -----TBC------
after all that she will be off to GreyStone down south for a Cerakote coating in OD green......

SOunds like it would have been easier to start from scratch..

Hey bro, na looked at that, but got rifle well below retail price so in the end it will work out sweet, anyway I'm having fun with it and thats all the counts.

Cheers

Good to hear someone pimping out a AR10 and joining the Gang!

I'll be buying one myself Rock River Arms: RRA LAR-8 Standard Operator
get some handloads developed for it, nightforce 3-15x50....
flute the barrel,supress it,remove front sight and get a adjustable gas block popped on.

I'm thinking I'll keep it at 20" but might go down to 18" at a later date...

You gotta admit its LOTS of fun pimping them out aye!

yea after having a ar15, a 308 version would be a step in the right direction for hunting.

couldn't agree more!

You mean one like this, it's a heavy bit of kit but I enjoy it.
