![]() LINK TO LARGER VIEW LaRue Tactical OBR 5.56 Overview: Building off the success of our highly-accurate and reliable OBR 7.62, we set out to apply the same proven design features into a 5.56 rifle. The result is a lightweight, and reliable, tack driver that remains cool…even after high-rates of fire. The barrel and barrel nut does not touch the handguard at any point, so there is very little heat-transfer to your support hand. Like its 7.62mm sibling, both the upper and lower are CNC-machined from billet 7075-T6, for the optimum fit and consistency...translating into maximum accuracy. Even though this is a complete rifle, the upper will fit to any Mil-Spec AR15/M16 type lower. The continuous upper-rail provides plenty of room for weapon-mounted night-vision day/night combinations and provides correct ballistic orientation for all inline night-vision combinations. The 10 MOA cant gives users an added advantage when using magnified optics at longer distances. A step-down at the rear of the receiver creates zero MOA for use of BUIS’s at shorter distances. Each rifle ships with three, 3” long, MIL-STD-1913 detachable rail sections that they can be configured anywhere along the entire length of the handguard (via threaded steel inserts), for the interface of MIL-STD-1913 equipped lights, lasers, bipods, grips, tripod mounts, etc. Barrels: The barrels are LW-50 stainless steel in 12”, 16.1", 18" & 20" lengths. They are Wylde chambered, and feature polygonal rifling in a 1/8 twist rate. We have used these barrels with great success for years in our popular and accurate Stealth uppers. LW-50 Stainless has proven itself for over 15 years, in military and civilian uses ranging from sniper, tactical, target, and other high-performance applications where long life and accuracy are critical. All barrels are threaded in ½ x 28, with an A2 flash hider attached (other muzzle devices can be added at an additional cost). The 12” model have carbine-length gas systems, the 16” and 18” models has a mid-length, and the 20” has a rifle-length. All gas blocks will feature our unique Port Selector Technology (PST), a two-point adjustable gas selector that allows optimum function between suppressed, and unsuppressed operation at the flip of a switch. Internals: The Bolts and Bolt Carriers are hand-polished hard-chrome with max-staked carrier keys. The carrier key contact areas are surface-ground flat for zero gas leakage. The trigger group is the same excellent Geissele SSA Combat Triggers we use in the OBR 7.62.The SSA provides an average 4.5lb pull weight.(2.5 lbs on the first stage and 2lb on the second stage). Furniture: The 12”, 16”, and 18” models come with a 6-position Magpul CTR and MOE Pistol Grip in LaRue UDE. The 20” Model Comes with an A2 Grip and A2 Stock, in black. Features: - Guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy (with Federal GMM, 77 grain ammo) - Proprietary handguard design keeps the rifle cool, aids in accuracy and ease of handling - Unique fully freefloating barrel and barrel-nut design, that does not touch the handguard at any point, aids in accuracy - Upper, lower and rails are CNC-machined from 7075-T6, Type-III hard anodized - 10 MOA built into a continuous, T-marked, 1-piece upper rail - Drop-down at rear of rail, for zero MOA when using iron sights - Lower is low-shelf, to accommodate RDIAS - Flared magwell allows faster mag changes - Large trigger opening, with integral trigger guard - Bolts and bolt carriers are hand-polished hard-chrome, in M16 profile - LW-50 stainless steel barrels in 12”, 16.1", 18" & 20" lengths - Barrels are finished in black Manganese Phosphate - Wylde chambered in 5.56mm NATO - Polygonal rifling - 1/8 twist-rate rifling. - 10,000-round barrel life (approx) - Muzzle threading: ½ x 28 - Direct gas-impingement: 12” is carbine-length, 16” and 18” are mid-length, and 20” is rifle-length - Port Selector Technology (PST) gas block - Max-staked carrier keys, with contact areas are surface-ground flat - Geissele SSA Combat Triggers, two-stage, average 4.5lb pull weight.(2.5 lbs on the first stage and 2lb on the second stage) - Mil-Spec receiver extensions on 12”, 16” and 18” - Three, 3” long, MIL-STD-1913 detachable rail sections (and mounting hardware) included - Magpul CTR Stock, UDE colored, on 12”, 16”, and 18” models (The 20” comes with an A2 Stock, in black). - Magpul MOE Pistol Grip, UDE colored, on 12”, 16”, and 18” models The (The 20” comes with an A2 Grip, in black). - Weight of 16” model (with 30 round magazine): 8.2 lbs (7.5 lbs empty) $1995.00 plus shipping Models Available: (Iron Sights, Optics and QD mounts not included in price) OBR 556, 12” SBR (LT556-12) With UDE Magpul CTR Stock and MOE Pistol Grip, 2 Pmags, 3 Rail Strips, and A2 Flash Hider (This is an SBR, All NFA rules apply) OBR 556, 16” (LT556-16) With UDE Magpul CTR Stock and MOE Pistol Grip, 2 Pmags, 3 Rail Strips, and A2 Flash Hider OBR 556, 18” (LT556-18) With UDE Magpul CTR Stock and MOE Pistol Grip, 2 Pmags, 3 Rail Strips, and A2 Flash Hider OBR 556, 20” (LT556-20) With Black A2 Stock and A2 Pistol Grip, 2 Pmags, 3 Rail Strips, and A2 Flash Hider TO BUY YOURS, CLICK HERE. |

VA boys are in heavy already on 1...
but yeah, give them texas hometown folks and prior OBR 762 owners from all states a special introductory price! ![]() ![]() stupid question i'm pretty sure, but since furniture options are not available at least at this point for the OBR 556 would it be possible(should i decide to pull the trigger) to send LT my desired stock and grip to Leander to have installed in lue of the UDE furniture(and mags), or could it just be shipped from Leander with an A2 grip and no stock or mags, and have the value of all the UDE subtracted from the cost?.. the UDE is cool it's just not my cup of tea, and if i get an OBR 556 it would be an SBR to compliment its foliage clad big OBR 762 brother...

Be advised, we're still working out the details of offering the 12" model ... as it ultimately has to go through Class 3 dealers ...
Some schools of thought here are to sell those only and direct to the Class 3 dealers ... Of course most of you know there's more to the NFA stuff than meets the eye. ![]() More to follow. ML |

Looks like Virginians nearly own this page. Mine is already on order, feel free to discount it before you charge my card.

Mark,
Is this going to be introductory pricing, or is this going to be the permanent pricing? |

Eagerly awaiting SBR info and the 1st replier to get his damn SOT!

hmm I guess I'll have to decide if I want this or a BCM rifle...

Larue team:
I was told the 12" will have an 11" handguard on it. Can you provide details about the rail lengths for each config? |

I have several of your Stealth uppers. Where can I send them so you can upgrade all of them to the new OBR.

Already not looking forward to the extra cost for the class 3 transfer as most dealers charge more to transfer a class 3 item vs a standard gun. The other option would be to sell the 12 inch upper by itself and let us order a stripped or assembled lower ourselfs. That way we would just need to form 1 the lower and engrave our info on it. |

damn im being eaten up to order a 12" too...damn you mr larue and your awesome machines...and tell alfred thank you for assisting...always top notch to deal with
|

I'd buy an 18" model if we could have barrels with a 1/7 twist. Otherwise, I think the OBR 5.56 makes a great SPR-type platform.

Could the 18" BBL model be had with the same rail length as the 20" BBL model?
|
|
Quoted: we pay a tax each year to be a C3 dealer, it aint free. My dealer is working on it now. She says it's $500 for the year. That's cheap. the item / weapon must sit in our safe while your paperwork is out (2 to 4 months). At least it's already paid for while it's sitting there. No money out of your pocket whatsoever. |

Wes, what configuration are you going with? Im debating between a 16" or a 20" a lot like your 20" OBR.

How 'bout an 18" with the 20" handguard? Quoted:

tax is what it is, i'm not a fan of it but it must be paid.
what was the cost on the 12" OBR? $1995? so let's see... i have an OBR lite on the shelf for $1995 + state sales tax (VA is 5%) = $2094.75 out the door. or you buy it from LaRue for $1995 + shipping (let's call it $20) $20 + $75 transfer fee = $2090 out the door if i got my math hat on. you really gona bust a guys balls over $4.75?

If there's a lower dealer price then ya it makes sense to buy it from the dealer. |

I may be wrong but larue doesn't deal with dealers. I think they deal with the end-user directly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....been there, done that ! Just waiting for my shipping notice . ![]() But seriously..... what kind of glass should I put on it ??? I don't want to wait for a Leupold CQB SS ( or pay the price). |
