(In a boxing announcer voice) ...
VEGAS 2010 (Very Excellent Gun And Shooting) Alright people, LaRue has had enough requests from folks that will willingly break the levers off their A.R.M.S. mounts if LaRue will replace it with a LaRue product. So, a challenge is made. We challenge A.R.M.S. (the company busy suing us over their #17 trademark) to a mount duel. We are hereby offering to replace any A.R.M.S. mount that the owner intentionally breaks the M.I.M. lever off. The challenge to A.R.M.S. is that they make the same offer to any LaRue owner who intentionally will break the lever off a LaRue mount in exchange for an A.R.M.S. products. The winner will be decided at the ShotShow * VEGAS 2010 - booth with the most broken mounts from the other wins. May the best man win -  -  - 
The offer is now out there and remains in effect until A.R.M.S. drops his suit, and if that doesn't happen, then it remains in effect until I have had my satisfaction. 
ETA - Somebody here said we need to have them here by January 7th for the outbound VEGAS 2010 truck. But I'll Nextday any after that, so the cutoff and end of this VEGAS Smash'em Contest will be the opening hour VEGAS 2010 - Vegas time. Take a pic and print it of the before-intentionally-breaking and after-it's-broken, include it with the mount. We have another offer going on and this will keep them apart. Include a short note of why you wanna play. Since time is of the essence (VEGAS 2010 is looming), we will rush you the LaRue mount that's a suitable upgrade to the A.R.M.S mount you intentionally broke in trade. THIS IS THE STATE FAIR TRACTOR PULL OF MOUNTS ! ! ! GO !!!!
M. LaRue I am Mark LaRue and I authorize this offer. - ML ETA - We're gonna make this a good old fashioned Texas horse race, so do me and my whole bunch over here a big Christmas favor and spread the word for us in other forums you might frequent. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all y'all. * ETA - Oops, got a note that somebody whined to show management , so they faxed that I drop their name from the promotion. Done ...it's now VEGAS 2010.

Mark, Before I go snapping off an crappy Arms lever off my $1600 Elcan, can this be sent to you for replacement? I can send it in for evaluation before any decision is made. No, that sucker's built in ... when those levers break and/or loosen, I guess it has to go back to the factory. That's yet another good reason to insist on a rifle having iron sights on it.

In on first page. I don't have any ARMS mounts. I may have to go buy one to break just to be part of this. I don't care when or where you bought them ... bust 'em and trade 'em and do it before the Shotshow. 
I can envision the EE being absent of arms products soon. 
I bet I can count on one hand how many take up arms' offer. |

So, i'm doing my predeployment shopping (Leaving the week after next. Part of Obama's troop increase into indian country.), and most things are going good.... all except for that pesky ARMS #17 mount on my M900...
'Lo and behold, i wake up this morning to find Mark offering up this dealie... So, i decided to wage my own little war between LT and ARMS... 
Now, as you can see, i decided i wasn't simply going to just break the ARMS mount... i was going to let my trusty dillo kick it's ass. I thought it a bit poetic to be pitting a dillo and a #17 mount against each other. 
Now, granted, i had to take it out of the bathroom, stand on the mount to hold it in place, and give the little guy a couple hard thwacks on the face to help him out... But the proof is in the pudding... ARMS ain't got shit on dasypus novemcinctus: 
Shame ARMS doesn't make a VFG... i wouldn't mind breaking one of those and getting something of REAL quality either. |

Hell yes, I'm in in on this one!!! I'll take before and after pics. I'll even count the number of blows it takes to wreck their #17s off my EoTech G23.FTS magnifier (i'm sure it'll take only one).
I doubt anyone with an LT mount will even try and break theirs to trade for an ARMS mount. |

Mark,
What rings/mount do you have comparable to low height 30mm rings? Or I guess what's the variance with you standard height rings. w/low rings... I have a 50mm accoupoint in arms low rings, mounted to a gdi mount, on my m1a. Can you solve that fit in one way shape or form?

That's awesome Mark!

Mark, I like the way you roll I already purchased your LT-129 because My ARMS mount sucked, however it wasn't broken so I couldn't trade you. However I would love to break it for an LT mount for my other AR. I believe you will win your challenge to Swan and I support you in your fight against him. I have already made 2 purchases from you and I will be buying more of your stuff in the near future.
Take care and Merry Christmas! |

Here's mine:
It put up a little fight but I had help from a handy little critter in breaking it. It was fun as hell giving Swan a taste of justice. I think the little fella had as much fun as I did. This one will be in the mail today as soon as I print the pics for you. |

Quoted: Ok guys I'm a little concerned here......... I'm seeing hammers and Dillo's in the same picture..... Please tell me that NO DILLO'S are being harmed....... I find it interesting that the ARMS throw lever will break before the tail of the Dillo. One is part of a $100+ assembly, the other is a giveaway/novelty item? |
