    I can't see the gas block well inside the rail, to your knowledge does DD pin the GB and what are their BCGs like?

    Thanks,
    Cameron
    GB's that are rocksetted in place with a dimpled barrel (and burried inside of a rail) are VERY secure. GB's that are outside of the rail are much easier to get bumped and shift. This is what happened to the early SPR's and CRANE had to recall them as they came loose.

    The DD BCG that comes with their new M4 is fantastic and built properly (HP/MP'd).

    Ok I got the new upper in today from Larue. I went to the range with it, the old upper and a carbine lower and of course the rifle lower. The new upper ran like a champ with the rifle lower. The old one still did not even after the oil bath. The old upper did however run like a champ on my Colt 6920 lower. It never missed a beat. So my original theory was right and Larue did nothing wrong in building the upper. I just simple got the wrong one sent to me. They made good and I am out no money. I am really happy with the guys at Larue. Way to go guys. I am shipping the old upper back in the morning. Although a friend of mine would love to buy it for his carbine.
    Thanks again to Mark and Austin you guys are top notch. Thanks Grant as well. You won't believe it but this baby shot a 3 shot .5 moa group with Federal x193 ball ammo.

    You sir have the rifle I hope to build next. I'm sitting on a Build Lower with an A2 stock. I want to make a Longer range target rifle out of it. I'm looking for a 24inch HBAR. I expect the rifle will be a bit heavy, but should be a tack driver if it works the way I want.

    LaRue makes high quality products, in the US, and throws in a ton of goodies with every order.

    Why dont you try the product before you bash, and quit trolling.

    Glad to see you got your rifle running well! It looks very nice, and .5MOA with XM193! Wow, I'd like to see what it'd do with some TAP or Gold Medal.

    And WOW Grant! I didn't realize that Larue was such a fan of yours! Talk about not reading a post well, I don't think there was a sentence of yours that he didn't seemingly misconstrue. At least he didn't get personal with his posts!

    Everyone knows that LaRue makes good stuff, but for god sake he is more of a drama Queen than a 13 year old girl. All you need to see to prove this is his industry forum on TOS. He is currently feuding with At least 3 other industry leaders including Noveske, MI, and ACC, and he does it in a whiney little girl fashion. I have had a chance to mess with his stuff a little bit and it seems to be as good as everyone says, but I would rather deal with Daniel Defense than buy something from such a crybaby.

    Also see the drama over the BCG that he is currently bitching about.

    That is a beautiful rifle you have there! The Cmag is a nice touch.
    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.
