This rifle made us salivating since we first saw the video of it early this year. Now LaRue Tactical have announced the availability of the LaRue Tactical Costa-Edition 5.56 Rifle which is a limited release with first 125 pieces already sold out with the next batch still to be determined. Now we want an airsoft version of this which means putting together licensed products from MadBull Airsoft, Magpul PTS, and of course someone needs to make a receiver kit with the LaRue and Costa Ludus engravings, which I guess should also be MadBull's job. I hope they're reading this.

"The quest for a perfectly-balanced and reliable 5.56 rifle led Chris Costa to LaRue Tactical for a custom “signature series” rifle to bear his name. Costa requested the best of both worlds; the popular and lightweight PredatAR chassis, combined with the accuracy and reliability of an OBR 5.56 barrel. LaRue brought these elements together and provided it with a 14.5” barrel that is pinned and welded with a SureFire Muzzle Brake.

A LaRue Tactical first, The entire frame is finished in FDE, KG GunKote with the “COSTA LUDUS” logo engraved on the left side of the receiver. Black parts and rail covers provide dramatic contrast. The first 500 units will be match-numbered on the upper and lower.

Rifles will ship within one business week (providing we have a proper FFL to ship to).
