We're all seething and Mark is feeding into and off of it. I think you're overestimating our reactions. Most of us are looking at this and wondering why he would dedicate machine time to this project when he can't fulfill orders on other products that are always months out. Yup. I don’t think this is doing him any good, especially amongst newer consumers. He's got years of backorders.... mind you that's a common complaint Is years of back orders a good thing? No? |

I'll add another post to this thread. That doesn't mean it's good. Retarded shit is still retarded.

Quoted: I’m surprised his Drunken IT guys haven’t set him up with a VPN and shadow account. View Quote I’ve bought Larue products since he was just selling a handful of mounts years and years ago. I’ve got a PredatOBR that I’ve sent two barrels back to get replaced because they shot like shit. And the new barrels are not great either. His response, “If you aren’t shooting 168 federal gold match then it’s your problem” Black hills M118LR isn’t good enough. (Yes I know it’s not precision hand loaded ammo). I gave the Siete a chance and it’s ok. I think one review said it best, it’s a solid first effort. But it’s not great. I’ve kinda soured on Larue in the last few years. I’d have more respect for the man if he answered questions with reason instead of personal attacks. His hate for Geissele cracks me up. |

Quoted: Yep. Just like those Geissele scopes no one bought. I do recall Bill selling $7 D&H mags with a “Geissele” floor plate for $22. I also remember him selling his slings for $160.

Quoted: Makes me want to buy less of what are already miniscule purchases from Larue. It just reinforces his irrelevance and inability to innovate.

I thought this was an early April fool’s joke. Still finding it hard to believe this is real.

Quoted: Wow that's scummy View Quote Prefacing this with; own larue products and Geissele products. How is that scummy? Don’t want it. Don’t buy it. How many morons here pay 3-4x over cost of just an aimpoint battery cap that has the KAC logo on it? The magazine thing has been done for years with multiple other brands as well. Sometimes cheap. Sometimes more expensive. @hecklerKac |

I own a few larue products. There are still products Larue makes that I want, but are backordered. This is not one of them.
When I see something like this produced I think.. if resources are being made to make a new product like this, the backordered items wont be back in stock anytime soon, and I might as well order what I want elsewhere. Some people still have no issues ordering items backordered for a very long time. Im not one of them. |

Probably hods a better zero than a Mk16 rail after a drop
Dont sue me bro |

I’m still struggling to see why this ever came out, let alone came out without a way to adjust the sights L/R. Based on his IG posts, you may be close at 10yds, off at 25yds and by 35+ yards you have to aim off of target.

Seems to have been around a time when a TON of new and naive firearm owners were coming into the mix after riots/covid/etc. I bet that wasnt by accident lol. If you think pulling that shit is a noble thing to do thats on you, I call it scummy though. @NachoDip |

However it’s a standard practice that many retailers do. I have mags marked surplus ammo and arms that are the same way. Marked up from what they cost all because an etching on the floor plate. It is what it is you’re free to spend your dollars elsewhere. As am I. |

At this point the only item from Larue i have left is one of those little carry bags. Kinda like a man purse. Sold the OSR(remember before OBR it was OSR) sold all the mounts, gave away the dillo dust and dillos over time and i think i still have some hats in a box somewhere. 2009 era was peak Larue and that was a LONG time ago.

Have you been lusting over the new Larue C-note but cannot afford it because you blew all your cash on cocaine? I've been there, so has my wife’s boyfriend, and so has Mark Larue. Introducing the new C-word, from LaRpe tactical. Just like the original, you don't have to worry about dead batteries. It may not be obvious at first, but having a shorter sight radius is superior to a longer sight radius. It is hard for me to articulate why, because I have been awake for 4 days straight. The LaRpe C-word, for when you need to make the money shot, but you have no money. |
