At that point when I decided to sell it I didn't want to let it go for retail. If anything the flippers add more value to your rifle. |

As much as I wish I had the Tranquillo to put on the FDE, that's going to be a loooong wait. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up wanting try my 762SD on it in the meantime. So does anybody know if the muzzle device is just torqued onto these or is there some kind of thread locking compound on them?

Thanks...that's what I'm expecting, but before even attempting removal it would be nice to know what I'm working with. I've had some stubborn ones in the past with rocksett that I soaked overnight and then they came right loose. |

I have an FDE CTR that I'm going to use for comparison. I wonder if this is cerakote's standard FDE or the color they call Magpul FDE? I just went back and looked at the photo of your rifle. Man, unless the lighting is funky, It does look like an UDE APEG on there. Compare yours to the photos other folks have up. Mine is definitely FDE but it is just a little lighter. |

The lighting could be funky who knows but I do know there's a huge difference in my safe too. Here you can even tell about the pretty big difference between the stock and the APEG. 
Does anybody have an Ergo Deluxe in FDE that they could compare to the their FDE Heavy? |

And here is a Noveske Infidel with Magpul furniture for more comparison.

Ok, that looks about like mine. It's got that SCAR different shades of FDE thing going.

Mine came with one 3" rail section on the rifle and two extra in the case with the rifle. No index clips with the rifle. Swag box was to arrive today, but for some reason it has sat at the UPS facility all day today.

Granted, it didn't come with any of these awesome mounts you fuckers are getting

The swag is overwhelming, so I actually didn't even think about the index clips till later. I actually don't care if they get them to me or not. |

It would be very easy to miss. He probably thought you were talking about the springco buffer spring that comes with rifles sometimes. I've heard the MBT spring adds about a lb to the trigger pull. |

Well I really like my FDE Heavy, but was not expecting what showed up on my porch yesterday. I heard that a swag package would be arriving and I'm ALWAYS appreciative for the Dillo Dust and hat.
I was NOT expecting an FDE LT840H-34-20 along with the extra trigger spring, sling attachment and a few more goodies. THANK YOU MARK! The quality of your rifles and products is equally matched by your industry leading customer service! |

Picked up #101 today, could possibly be my new favorite riffle. .794 test target (might have a shot at this one), the mount gift was an incredible gesture. I would have been extremely happy with a 104, but to gift a mount that isn't even available to the public and cerakote it to match, wow Thanks Mark and crew. This combined with the suppressor deal, what a deal, can't say thanks enough to the Larue crew! |
