<span style="font-weight: bold">The Last Patriot, by Brad Thor, page 304:
“Harvath’s most lethal, most effective, and most accurate piece came out of a quiet, sophisticated shop in Leander, Texas, called LaRue Tactical that stamped all of their gear “Live Free Or Die”.
Harvath’s pal and his dog’s namesake, Bullet Bob Herrington, had turned him on to Mark LaRue, and no matter what crazy requests Harvath had ever thrown at his shop, the folks at LaRue Tactical had always come back with something better than he had asked for. Many people joked that Mark was a Texas version of James Bond’s Q and that as a proud Texan, maybe his codename should be BB-Q. LaRue Tactical was a SEAL and Delta Force-preferred supplier, and it was easy to understand why.
Harvath reached over and took down his custom-built, short barreled, LaRue M4 “stealth” tactical rifle. It looked like an ordinary door-kicker weapon, but it was anything but. It was so incredibly accurate that with the right high-powered optics on, Harvath could shoot 3 inch groups at 600 yards.
With an Aimpoint CompM4red dot sight system for day-to-day usage, Xiphos NT rail light, and an FSL Laserlyte laser, the weapon was one of the most prized possessions. In honor of Harvath’s Norseman call sign, Mark LaRue had engraved the magazine well with the mythological hammer of Thor, the Norse god of thunder”
