I have a LaRue Stealth, an old one before they blackened the barrels. It’s fine, but not anything extraordinary, the bolt has an unknown pedigree and the gas key is unstaked, I haven’t bothered to find out if they have addressed those in the current product offering, I would bet my life on one of my Colts ahead of the stealth, but that’s just me. The LaRue rail locking assembly is nice, but I have never had my YH or JP foreends come loose. It shoots around .75 MOA which is about what is expected. It didn’t motivate me to buy another LaRue, though. I bought it during the fear time and based upon a mag write up, no need to do that again.
A big plus 1 for Klem’s post. Once I started building, I have never looked back. It’s a bit of a hassle to source all the parts because of availability in some cases, but the knowledge of, and satisfaction in, your build far exceeds the hassle, plus you get exactly what you want, especially for the money you are planning to spend. There is more than enough information on this site on what works, and what doesn’t, to make parts choices you will be happy with and you will get an equal or better performing firearm.
The only thing I would say specifically is to get an adjustable gas block, even without a suppressor., worth their weight in gold.
