LaRue TranQuilo suppressor

[cjd3]

While watching weather, I cam across this new suppressor from LaRue
Laure TranQuila Sound Supressor M308
Very nice intro price, and the muzzle mounts seem to priced nicely too.

At this point he could sell the best thing on the planet and i would still not buy it.

It's obvious I've missed something. I've seen you make statements before about Larue. What happened that made you dislike the company? I'm not a fanboy just genuinely curious. (Also I don't mean to side track the thread)

If you've been on TOS you'd see what he's talking about.

I'd rather not air dirty laundry.

Lets just say I once bought mounts and stuff from his company, but once I learned a few specific ethically unacceptable actions I sold everything I owned of his and stopped buying anything he has to sell.

Ethics and morals go a long way, especially in the gun industry. Once a person or company is found to have intentionally done unethical or immoral things, I will not spend a dime on anything they have to sell ever.

Noted. And I completely agree. I'll do some research.

It's funny LaRue is marketing a can. All the LaRue rifles I've seen run suppressed all ran like crap. Three thousand dollar crap.

From a shooter's perspective, I also have an issue with the top spine that they use on their OBR rails/uppers (like POF) which is supposed to mitigate bipod or bench rest influence on the rifle, but forces the shooter to use an elevated cheekweld which usually causes improperly set up optics ignoring LOP and only focusing on eye relief. Which leads to other issues/compensations...downhill snowball effect.

Funny, none of the LaRue rifles I have run suppressed run like crap... they seem to run just fine... As for the 10 or 20 MOA rails, if the rifle is set up properly (i.e. a PRS stock or RISR) the problems you note are not problems... and the tOBR and tAR line don't have any cant built in or spine, so it is a non-issue...

If you don't like LaRue, or their products, don't buy them...

That is the problem right there....NEVER GO TO TOS!......

Those are some very confusing comments. How many OBRs have you used? What type type of cans?


if you use another type of scope mount then yes, you will be all jacked. That is not from the MOA added to the rail it is from not using the correct equipment.

I don't buy their products because I don't like the design, obviously. Two of the rifles I've seen in person were using AAC SDN-6s...read about other issues on various forums.

The AR15/AR10 platform was made to run with iron sights, however adapted to optics the rifles have become. Eye relief is meant to be measured from the charging handle forward- using nose-to-charging handle (doesn't necessarily mean it's touching, but close) or length of pull. The PRS stock has the cheek riser in the place it is so the charging handle can actually function, NOT because that's the proper position for your cheek.



An adjustable cheek riser is unnecessary if the scope is mounted on the proper height rings and set up on the rifle properly.

Like the SPR I just built, the scope is set up based on all of this, and is as low as possible (height over bore) as it can be (objective is nearly touching the handguard. Setting a scope up high just so a stock with a cheek riser can be used or needing a cheek riser because the scope is mounted so high means its not being set up properly and I'd be willing to bet there are other issues present like poor form, and the shooter could be better/more precise. The vast majority of folks shoot very little so the problems aren't obvious or they never come to light while in a gun safe. Then you have a percentage of people who, just because they paid a lot of money for something, will not take criticism very well. It happens.

I may not be explaining this well over the internet, but I could plainly show it in person better. Feel free to brush me off as another internet guy, but if you take a precision rifle course from someone who isn't just taking your money, they'll tell you the same thing about how to properly set up a carbine in order to maximize it.

I don't think the elevated cheek weld problem necessarily isolated to OBR/POF pattern systems but the extra height magnifies the problem (as you said). It seems that most people who run optics with large objectives (35+) and a collapsible stock/ A2 stock end up using a chin weld.

I tired to run an MLT MWS like this and it bothered the crap out of me. Tried the RISR as well and still didn't get the results I wanted. Worked well for a DMR but I didn't favor it. Ended up selling it and going back to the bolt for long range shooting.

To Larue in general: Always been impressed with the machining and attention to detail.
