Received this from a Threeper I trust implicitly regarding LaRue Tactical quality control problems and service issues. He included a copy of a series of emails back and forth beginning in December of last year. Here’s his latest to me:

Mike,

I’d like to warn people about buying scope mounts from LaRue Tactical since you may well not get the one you need, and then they won’t do anything about it. When you spend $250.00 for a scope mount, it damn well be the one you needed, especially when you called and spoke to their rep before ordering.

If you could warn your readers, I think it would be a great service to them. Perhaps ask David to do the same. The story is in the below email stream.

The picture of my rife, scope mount and scope fitted and bore-sighted attached. As you can see, it has to go all the way up to the turret to get a decent eye relief. Also, I had to crank it all the way up to get it bore-sighted for 100 yards, leaving no more elevation for greater distances.

Before anyone buys a quick disconnect sight from LaRue Tactical, they better know exactly what they need to get because the reps at LaRue have no idea.

The shame is that I have previously purchased two other mounts for ACOGS for my other rifles from them. Still they have no interest in rectifying this situation.

Thanks,

My son has been collecting the components to build himself a 7.62 NATO sniper platform on an Armalite receiver much like the one pictured. He was thinking, if memory serves me correctly, of getting a LaRue Tactical mount like the one pictured. I will discourage him from doing so. –

“This is not a done deal today,” said Council member Claudia Walters, who represents the district where the development would be built. “This is a kicking off of the public process.”

Councilman Tom Rawles voted against the motion for a reason he did not want to discuss publicly.

Rawles said he was concerned with an item on the incentive list. Mayor Keno Hawker abstained because his back yard abuts the mall site.

A pedestrian-oriented theater district on 30 acres would be the first phase of construction, which could begin in about 18 months.

That includes a 57,000 square-foot Cinemark theater, the second the national chain would locate in Arizona, and 103,000 square feet of retail space.

“This is going to be a place where you want to be,” said head architect Robert Saemisch of Saemisch DiBella Architects Inc., which will design the theater.

Future phases include the Bass Pro store on 25 acres, a 110-acre retail district where the Super Wal-Mart would locate, a 30-acre auto mall and a 45-acrecommerce park.

Bass Pro Shops, an outdoor sporting-goods giant that sells everything from rods and rifles to hunters’ underarm deodorant and camouflage infant booties, attracts millions of tourists annually.

The Missouri-based chain is opening its first Western store in Las Vegas on Nov. 11. Saemisch estimated that the 180,000- to 200,000-square-foot store in Mesa Tactical could attract 2 million tourists a year.

The developers’ proposal will be considered at several City Council sessions and planning and zoning meetings.

The city also plans to hold several public meetings on the development.

But Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman didn’t see it as a battle, instead hoping both developments could “complement each other” and become a regional retail force.

Who is Hugh Hallman? I though Tempe’s mayor was that Peter Puffing Homo, Neil Guliano!

(Hugh must be his Homeland Security Advisor.)

The use of taxpayer money to “lure” businesses is repugnant, no matter what business it is.

Will Glendale give a Blimpie’s owner a multi-million (hell—multithousand) dollar tax break like that? I mean…sales taxes in Glendale and jobs, too…?

Answer is no. No city will.

It’s bullshit and taxpayers should be outraged.

Tim,

I’m sure the city is thinking about their new tax source is trying to bring in buisiness. Maybe a $40 million dollar investment isn’t a bad thing if the city stands to make $10 million a year in income.

Why don’t they try creating a business environment where they don’t have to give taxpayer-funded bribes/kickbakcs/payoffs (which is all this is) in order to attract businesses.

I can’t imagine that residents wouldn’t like their portion of the $40 million instead of it going to a government-funded giveaway.

I’m with TimW on this one. I’m repulsed by the basic principle of using taxation as a means to coerce or bribe individuals to do or not do something.

I have a Aimpoint Comp M4 in a QRP mount that I bought a magnifier for and did not like the twist mount so I ended up buying a LaRue pivot mount LT755 to replace it. I didn’t realize it, but the LaRue pivot mount sits higher than the Aimpoint Comp M4 in the QRP mount. Any suggestions to get them to line up other than buying the LaRue LT659 mount for the M4? I’d have just left it alone and stuck with the twist mount rather than having to buy 2 mounts. opticsplanet [Industry Partner] 2/7/2012 4:35:56 PM Do you have this spacer installed on your CompM4? http://www.opticsplanet.net/aimpoint-standard-ar15-spacer-for-qrp2-qrw2.html Chase B.

Scope mount:I don’t like the Larue Tactical 11″ quad-rail that came with the 16″ Stealth upper. While a most excellently made device, I just don’t use most of the rail. It seems too heavy and with the plastic protectors, too large in diameter.

I really like something like Daniel Defense MFR 12.0 concept, except I want to keep it at 11″ in length.

I received mine yesterday and put it together yesterday. I have not had a chance to shoot it yet but the fit and finish looks fine to me. The barrel bore looks good. I think Terry is a stand up guy. They had forgot to put one mag I had ordered with the AR-15 Accessories in the box I called Terry and started to mention the mag issue. He interupted me to say he knew about the mag and it was already on its way. You can’t ask for better service than that. His parts all come from companies I have seen good remarks on this forum. So with that said I think you will be fine and Happy with Terry and AR-15kits..com RacerXXL [Team Member] 9/27/2008 1:44:15 AM Originally Posted By sd_norske: Go with the Delton.
