    Larue's LAT/SAT rails

    Looks like LT dropped their SAT/LAT rails using the same lockup design as their venerable quad rails. Seems like they're going after the ALG market based on pricing, which is smart. They do look pretty solid and it'll be interesting to see how they pan out. I think they should be a solid choice for a "budget" build.

    An industry VP and myself were talking about pricing years ago, and the subject of LT came up. He laughed and said Larue would lose money on products to spite another company if he didn’t like them. In this case, I doubt he is losing money as I’m sure he is sitting on a massive pile of extrusion that just sits there. Your ALG comment is probably right on the mark.

    While looks are subjective, these are lopsided looking to my eye, though I figure that is just part of the extrusion on hand.

    I got the e-mail today on these. I just ordered the 13.2" LAT along with a 16" PredatAR barrel for a new build. You cannot beat the quality and price on these handguards.

    This is what he's doing with his MBT triggers.

    Do you have proof to back up your claim that ML is losing money?

    Ordered two of the SAT rails. These look solid and you can’t beat the price.

    I really like the SAT rail, I think it may find a home on my next build.

    While these handguards would not be my choice, IMHO, just like his trigger, I don’t think you can beat the value of them for the money. Business competition can be and is ruthless at times, trying to keep your slice of the pie, it’s just the way it is.

    1. It’s about time.
    2. They probably look lopsided since the Larue rails historically mimicked the KAC RAS pattern of having 12 o’clock rail even with upper, and 3,6, & 9 rails tucked in closer to the bore.
    3. Finally an MLOK rail that I can talk Ken Elmore into using. ��
