LaRue 6.5 Grendel Rifles

I was told 4-8 weeks on my upper as well and it shipped a day or two later. Of course, your mileage may vary. I bought mine on the first day of the “free assembly” sale last month and, despite being perfectly capable myself, I let LaRue put it together anyway (I was curious about the LaRue quality build that has been spoken of so highly, I can always do a rebuild). I don’t recall the specific date but my upper was assembled long before I ordered it. My lower, on the other hand, is quite a while out. I talked with LaRue support about it shortly after my order and was told that the stripped lowers take second priority as compared to their complete guns (makes sense to me). At the rate that they’re selling their complete guns, they don’t have much additional capacity to fill these orders.

As AZHTfreak mentioned, I’m sure that a lot of capacity is dedicated to MBTs at the moment. My recent trigger orders have all been roughly a month out. Based on various threads on ARFCOM, I’m not the only one either. Now Mark is dead set on starting a “handguard war” as well. I predict any shred of additional capacity getting dedicated to this effort instead of ramping up lower production.

In the end, Mark’s stuff is always top notch so it’s worth the wait.
