OK.
I bought a AR in the spring for $1200 not a LaRue but a good Mil Spec rig. 16" mid lengtr DI, 12" rail, Magpul Goods I was happy with it. I just got my hands on my PredatAR 7.62. There is a distinct difference in the fit bewtween the upper and lower. NO movement from the Predatar762 My Mil-Spec 556 has some, "play" in it.. I didn't even think about till I got the Larue 7.62. I've fondled several manufactures and always look at the fit. most have been about what I did call normal, just a lil movement between the Upper and the Lower fit. NOW My question is Is the PredatAR 5.56 the same fit between the upper and lower, as the PredatAR 7.62? OWNERS>? |
| I got my 556 PredatAR 16" about a month ago. It took me a good bit of wrestling with the gun to break it down the first time. That sucker was TIGHT. Seriously...I was sweating a little when I finally got them separated. Now it is easy to take down but still tight enough that there is no play at all between my upper and lower. |
| LaRue is known for the tight fit between the upper and lower. You can't get any closer to a "one piece" AR than a LaRue product. This is the beauty of being able to build guns inhouse. They are able to push the limits of the fit between the two components. It makes the package more solid and accurrate. The upper and lower do work themselves loose with use, but not much. I often get positive comments regarding this about every LaRue I have from those that look at them. |

I could be wrong but I thought upper and lower fit had nothing to do with accuracy of the rifle... From what I understand it's purely a subjective preference. Some people like them loose so it's really easy to take down. Others like it tight so it feels a bit more solid. Now generally I believe LaRue rifles are very tight but I don't think I'd use tight upper and lower fit as a gauge of quality. |

Well, you and I (I am making an assumption here, so forgive me) may never shoot well enough to notice any difference whether an upper/lower fit makes much difference in the accuracy we need. I can tell you that based on simple concepts that the less "wobble" and less ancilliary movement there is in the system, the less variables there are to contend with about where the shot goes. |
