Reading comprehension isn't a strength of yours, am I right?

Easy it was just meant as a generic statement that "bans" don't work.
Don't come down on me and start critiquing my "comprehension"
Just relax, your in the drivers seat professor!

Another guy with no profile filled out??? :eek:

No, you tried to imply that I said that bans "work".

You would be and are, in fact, completely incorrect,

But stay classy. :rolleyes:
 
Oh my mistake, I suspect it was and intended to be on my part, a "play on words"
Point taken, Well done my friend.
How's that profile coming along? (Don't compromise yourself or any operations)
 
Uhh... I'll pass on a $3000 rifle.

I'd put it another way, his "plate is full" with MIL contracts, and his own sales in the US.His OBR is a top contender in the AR .308 market, I'd rather buy from him than Questar, that's just me though.BTW he is a registered exporter, if he didn't give a s**t, why do all the ITAR paper work?

If you could earn a very good living in your own town, why would you go overseas?
That's just an analogy.

He could also stop selling rifles and he'd still be doing just fine. As it is, there's often a wait for many LaRue products... Heck, my last mount I had to wait 4 weeks for them to do a run of them so it could ship.

Honestly, I only support LaRue because of the tens of thousands of dollars that he donates to the CalGuns Foundation every year. That defense fund will help project me if I'm ever arrested, it will help prevent new laws, it will help repeal old laws.

Mark LaRue is a smart guy... Sooner or later he'll decide he wants to add another 20 CNC's and will probably try harder to get Canadian distributors to sell LaRue mounts. I've heard he wont budge much on price leaving little markup for distributors, which is probably why no one in Canada's made a deal with them yet.
 
even in the states there isnt alot of love for larue due to attitude from what i see in some forums

me, there are other options id look at, im sure its good stuff but prob not worth the waits and impossibility of getting

His business model is to sell direct, with how popular online shopping is these days and the notoriety of his mounts no one needs to buy them in a store. It allows him to sell direct to the consumer and maximize profit on his end. What should be looked into is whether he can become a licensed exporter the same way brownells is, then at least his mounts under $100 can be shipped sans paperwork and ordered directly from him.

I wonder if people would still be bitter if all we had access to were the smaller manufacturers like LaRue or BCM stuff ?

Or if some of the Cdn Manf such as ATRS, NEA or Dlask only exported and not supported their Cdn customer base?
 
I hear all this about Larue but I've had excellent dealings. I had a rail that I lost the barrel nut for and was pretty much hooped. I called Larue to get a replacement knowing that it was probably a waste of time. I was told that they do not have an export permit and could not ship me a barrel nut. They took my information anyway and said they would see what they could do. Two days latter Mark calls and says I should see the part in a week. He did not ask for shipping or charge me for the part. It arrived marked "Part, Nut" on the custom package.

Now, I realize that this was just a nut but for Larue to go that far out of their way for this lowly Canadian is impressive to me. A lot of Canadian companies (even ones supported on this site) wouldnt waste their time let alone eat the cost. So say what you want about Larue but if they start exporting I will be a 100% supporter!
 
The whole hate on LaRue on CGN began after SHOT 2011 when one of the CGN Mods (greentips???) echoed the words of a s**tty sales rep for LaRue who's name also happened to be Mark but was not Mr. LaRue himself. Nonetheless completely unjustified, it's all about markets.
 
I know I would love to get my grubby little hands on a 308 obr, that Costaludus obr is pretty wicked looking to. Nothing against Larue, they are busy enough with homegrown orders.
 
I own a few things from them, and must say I love there products. Especially there dillo dry rub for my steaks. If you want the stuff just import it your self...

Actually... He does have distributors/retailers that carry them, and he does have a license to export.

I believe there is a difference between being registered to export and being registered as a manufacturer to allow your product for export. It's the way in which Brownells can export and other big name shops can't. Even if it's just a Magpul VFG.
