You'll see that the 5.56 PredatOBR follows the same design and flexability as the 7.62 PredatOBR. |

Glad Mark answered because I was fixing to start inspecting some pics on that hunt thread. I'm pretty sure some of the sharp eyes on this forum would've picked up on the new style pretty quickly, if the new design was used in those pictures. Regardless the proof of concept is really outstanding. JRHeikk |

The plan is to offer different barrel and handguard length packages for both 7.62 and 5.56 PredatOBR's. Of course, we need to get the base rifles out first. Barrel and handguard options will be an offered sometime down the road. |

I have a question about the retainer for the throw levers...
In the pics where the barrel and handguard are installed, the throw lever retainer is shown in the same axis as the barrel. In the ones where the handguard is removed, I see it turned perpendicular... Question: how is it being held in place, ie: keep it from rotating from "hold" to "open"? |

You'll see that the 5.56 PredatOBR follows the same design and flexability as the 7.62 PredatOBR. So, if I am reading this right, if one wants the original design in a 14.5, they need to go with the next round of CE's (assuming there is one), correct? |

Be nice to have yourself a nicely-mounted scope sighted-in for each barrel, ready to straddle the rail and slam some downrange.  this post isn't getting enough attention! so will we be able to later on buy, say a .300 barrel and handguard, and swap it into the 5.56 predatobr chassis? |

Originally Posted By Xenny: snip From Page Nine, in case you missed it. snip I interpreted that as different 5.56/7.62 barrel lengths and their corresponding handguard lengths, per the context of Mark's answer  Again just a WAG on my part, but different calibers would come after the standard stuff is rolling out. First complete Rifles, then barrels and handguards from those Rifles, and then lastly would be caliber conversions. But I could be talking out my butt, too.  |
|
wow... I literally was just a week away from ordering all my non-larue 300Blk SBR upper parts since I thought this day would never come to fruition. Unbelievable... looks like I have more waiting to do. Maybe my wife will take my predatAR and I'll get the new predatobr
|
| Now that we know different handguard lengths will be available, it would be nice if we could configure our rifles at the time of ordering, like how the stealth uppers are handled. Fingar's post makes it sound like the extra barrels will be bundled with different handguards. I can't speak for others, but I would have no use for additional handguards, unless one was for an SBR, and that would likely be a dedicated rifle anyway. |

I can't speak for others, but I would have no use for additional handguards, unless one was for an SBR, and that would likely be a dedicated rifle anyway. Right now they just need to get them rolling out the door. There was a point with the PredatARs that you couldn't order any change, even color changes. Then after they got caught up they started offering factory installed options. |

Might have to sell the PredatAR and start the wait for the ultimate SCOBR setup. Just got my Noveske lower to make an SBR with but in light of recent events its going be an expensive paperweight for awhile. |

You don't have to put together the SBR to have a Registered SBR Receiver.  |

If you start with the 14.5" ... you can swap to longer barrels easy enough, and if you want a longer handguard, get yourself one too, or not. |

I probably would have jumped on the last round of CE's too with this info... with 14.5's in both 5.56 and 7.62 on order, and both changing to the new configuration, I have some pondering to do... Comparison pics would be helpful. |
