Just placed my first Larue order this past Sunday night. By lunch time on Monday I had an email with a tracking number and today at lunch I had a nice box on my front porch. Living in Texas rocks!  As I was getting ready to open the box after work, wouldn't you know it, the phone rings. It's my part time machine shop gig calling me in to make parts for a few hours. Didn't get to see my Larue goodness until after 10 pm. Mucho thanks to Larue Tactical for making the good stuff and also to the shipping dept. for the super fast service

And pics of your wife! 
...Sorry... you know someone was going to ask sooner or later... He made no mention of the sandwich maker and I declare that asking for pictures of the wife without mention of her means that YOU my friend are the one required to post pics of yours 
To the OP, well what did you order?! Welcome to the madness that the dillo dust creates |

And of course and apparel scection... You know many folks here would make the anual (or more often) pilgramage... Or just a pickup window like Midwayusa has.... |

I really wanted to buy a complete rifle but a water leak in my house changed those plans. I did however, have a collection of parts that could go toward the build of a rifle so I went that route. From Larue I ordered a stock and a buffer spring. Nothing major but I already have a new wish list made.
Sorry, no pics of a sandwich maker since I am currently without one. |
| As much as I hate to say this, with as large of a following as LT has, and as many people who love them, a retail store would be a nightmare. We all know Mark isnt going to do something half way, so it would have to be a huge store and amazing inside. The time and people this would take to do and do right would be a whole entire business. Hell, I live in Idaho and I would drive to a LT retail store. Thats a lot of space and a lot of people answering questions to what I would be willing to guess would be a majority of tire kickers. |

5.2 miles myself. Surprising how many times you get asked if you work there when you have an LT shirt on in this area. Quoted:

This! 7.8 miles = dangerous! Ok, ok, I admit, it's really 5.7 miles. I should have known to be more accurate (or is it hyper-accurate?  ). After all, this is a LaRue forum... the Dead Center of Precision....

I agree with this. Too many businesses try to get involved in ventures outside what they do well, and eventually suffer from it. Stick with what's working and keep the focus on that/those things.
