Quote HistoryQuoted: God I love my LaRue rifles. That's just silly. And it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Mark knew it. Mark actually seems like the kind of guy who would take a few minutes out of his day to think up shit that would trigger GD. I think this is the best theory so far.... I love my Larue rifles. I think Mark Larue is an asshole, I would only last 15 seconds around him before I would have to leave, seen his videos and he seems to be a real pice of crap. But the man does make a very nice rifle...and I have a fair number of them in my collection |

I remember when he got called out for the mag prices and only then decided to bring the price down to low Earth orbit. It wasn’t even post Sandy hook or during Covid. I could go to any online retailer and get the same D&H mags for $7-8. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The craziest part to me is that Larue and Docter were the first companies I can recall making mounts for little red dots. They literally solved this problem better like 15 years ago. They made the Irondot, a mount for the Docter, the only micro red dot at the time, so you could mount it in place of the rear sight of an AK. How many of those could Mark sell these days? |

I suppose it's not unreasonable to think it might become a collectible, as that's basically what KAC is. I own lots of G stuff and think highly of the quality of it, even the dreaded MK16. My beef is the price of the sling and mags that were out of whack. Bill seems like a nice guy though and gets product into people's hands, so we can get back to running Larue into the ground. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Every popular company here eventually falls from grace. ARFCOM is a fickle place. You can’t sell the same AR accessories for literal decades and expect to stay top dog. KAC, Daniel Defense, Geissele, Midwest Industries, they’re all pretty much main stays at this point as they put the effort into staying ahead. Larue gives us this….. I like Larue, but they peaked over a decade ago and it’s by choice they stay that way. Good stuff and his choice, but you can’t blame people for wanting more. Mark does fine and probably doesn’t give a shit anyway.
