I was digging in the dusty old storage for something and blundered into a treasure ...
Seven years later Mrs. L and I had hammered out that reputation ... 
And now look at us ...

Did you find one of your flashlights in there too
 if so that would add a "personal touch" and give my next order a "pleasing attractiveness" for sure.

That's awesome, Mark. Hope you don't mind that I saved all the pictures? Wish I had an employer like you!
I can say without a doubt, those letters are part of the reason we love your employees and products so much. Amazing customer service and reputation. Thank you for everything! BTW, if you could jump in the thread about lowers maybe being for sale, we would appreciate it! |

No, but it looks like if we can pull some funds together we can pay him and his crew $17.50 an hour to get the process started

Awesome little piece of company history you have there. Have you guys considered venturing back out of the gun industry? I like buying as much of my stuff from American companies as I can, but unfortunately LaRue Tactical doesn't make axes, hammers, deer stands and backpack stoves
In all seriousness though, your story is a remarkable testament to what can happen in America with a little hard work and perseverance. |
