Re: LARUE Tactical
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: USACS</div><div class="ubbcode-body">When you look at competitors like ADM, LaRue is comparably priced. LaRue is expensive, but the price is commensurate with the quality. The price is pretty average when you look at other unimounts and QD mounts. Their QD levers are very tough. Far better than most of the contenders out there (like ARMS) as far as I'm concerned.
OP:
There is a lot of LaRue hatorade on this forum. I still don't know why so many people here don't like Mark LaRue. I have asked people here who have negative attitudes towards LaRue, and I have yet to get a straight succinct explanation of the circumstances. This leads me to believe that the validity of the "hatorade" is pretty suspect and likely only applicable to a select few, with the rest just jumping on the bandwagon Just my observation though. Maybe someone can enlighten me better?
Until that happens, I have a lot of respect and support for LaRue products. </div></div>
Lets see:
When the OBR first came out I called him on a design flaw using the magpul CTR and the normal magpul riser. You basically had to extend the stock fully inorder to work the charging handle. So if you had a jam, short stroke, etc it would take you extra time in order to clear or rechamber another round. The result of this was their riser mod on a rail. Once that was finished the giveaway was "Poison123's Xmas Giveaway". It was done in the most condescending manner towards me.
Then there was the attacks on George Gardner over on barfcum because he ordered a OBR to see what made it so special. Of course all the jackass Pack Larue guys started bashing old George with Mark egging them along.
And let us not forget the bullshit Mark Started with LowLight when over the GDI mounts and their return to zero features. Mark took it personally and actually made calls to LowLights work place telling them to muzzle old LL when LL never made a attack on Mark. And the same antics with the Pack Larue guys followed just as they did with George.
I used to use tons of LT mounts, I've owned a Stealth, OBR Heavy, and a OBR Lite. Did they shoot well.....sure. But I won't support a Owner of a company that is that big of a Douche bag that did what he did. I sold all my LT gear shortly after the cease fire in the Mark / LL conflict for a loss just to get rid of it.
So there you go, my reasons for disliking Mark Larue.
