High-End ARs...LaRue or Fulton Armory?

Mike OTDP · Feb 26, 2013

I'm mulling over getting another AR before things go completely to worms...I'm considering either a LaRue OBR with an 18 inch barrel, or a Fulton Armory FAR-15 Phantom. I know LaRue has an outstanding reputation, but I own a Fulton, and it's pretty nice. Opinions?

where are you going to find a LaRue?

jrumann59 · Feb 26, 2013

Seekins, Spikes, Palmetto State, etc

...Noveske, Les Baer...

Buying high end right now is going to cost $$$$$$$$. Noveskes were $2500 when times were good.

"Buy a Double Barrel Shotgun. It's all you need..." :lol2:

I'd go with Larue.

Colt, Bravo Company, Daniel Defense, Noveske.

Larue is a year wait, if this bill passes you would be SOL

I have a nice AR on consignment.

Fulton uses commercial stocks and tubes; however you also get a Fulton house brand barrel made by Krieger which is a plus. I have a Fulton built carbine, the fit and finish are very good, and they lapp the trigger to improve the break.

These guys dont cut corners, however they are more well known for their M14s and AR10 style guns than FAR-15s...

What he said. LaRue won't even officially quote turn times but unofficially they're at least a year right now.

You could pay a serious premium for a BCM lower, then try snagging a BCM upper at regular cost.

BCM uppers are coming in sporadically and they're normal pricing when they do come in. Lowers are tougher to find without paying $700 or so on GB though.

My neighbor's Noveske is SCHWEET!

RUOMO10 · Feb 26, 2013

Yeah, I don't think you will find a LaRue for awhile. I have seen plenty of spikes and adcors around though.

I have a Larue Tactical OBR 5.56 (16" barrel).... I purchased it last March and paid about $2400 for it. I would hate to see what they are going for now...if one can be found! Quality/finish is supperb.... I never rethought or regretted the purchase.

there is a used cost edition larue on gunbroker going for $7300!!!!!

there are other larues though that are more sanely inflated (under 4000)

7300 for a regular AR with an airbrushed celebrity name. No thanks.

LargemouthAss · Feb 26, 2013

I looked everywhere for a noveske upper with no luck and ended up paying a big price for Daniel Defense instead.

Mike OTDP · Feb 26, 2013

If I were to buy either, it would be an order, not a GB buy.

LS1 · Feb 26, 2013

Have to say the Larue is in a different league than the Fulton, but your too late unless you pony up some bucks, or move.

But it comes with a sweet beard!

I maintain a spreadsheet of Lt orders at larue's IP site on arfcom. You are at least 1 year out at this point.
