How to get LaRue products?

[SuperDave]

I know there have been a couple of subjects about this but none of the solutions are working anymore.

CQBservices doesn't seems to be dealing them anymore and GlobalTactical cannot ship to Canada.

I need a SPR-1.5 with 30mm rings ASAP and I can't see how I could get my hands on one of these.

Did you see this one for sale in EE?

Oops, I just realized you want the 1.5"

LaRue will not open any dealers in Canada at this time. (Many of us have tried)

Any imports of LaRue products can be made through a willing US dealer. Getting someone to help you with the paperwork is a good idea.

There are other rail systems on the market which have dealers in Canada

Daniel Defense and Troy are two of them.

I took a look at both Daniel Defence and Troy industrie's websites and none of them are selling scope rings.

I thought about Armalite's 1 piece scope mount but the rings are 1'' too far to the rear. The only mount I could find that has the proper eye relief is the SPR. It's for an IOR 1.1-4X26mm

Common guys, there must be an alternative to install a 30mm scope on an AR15 that is QD and that keeps the zero.

Just out of curiosisty, is Mark LaRue personally against it for some reason, or is it more US export regs?

Most of Larue business is military. Then there is civilian US market, we are even behind them

Spoke to Mark at SHOT. He can't even keep up with the work that he has, let alone taking on dealing with the fluctuating export controls with shipping stuff up here. I did get an armadillo from him though.

Mark sent me a couple of these a few months ago, they are great!!

Have you tried ordering directly from LaRue Tactical...? I got an LT110 mount from them last year.
Mike Early seems to be the guy to talk to there.

 

[SuperDave]

US export laws changed a lot since last year

Since Sep 19 of last year? That's when LaRue Tactical sent my mount to me.

Yeah they got their fingers slapped...

Ah....ok. That explains why SKD Tactical will ship an EOTech, but now have on their website that they won't ship LaRue stuff out of the US.

I have a related question that I might as well ask here....

I just bought a Bushmaster 16" flat top and I want to put my Leupold 8.5-25X50 LRT on top.

First...it looks like I'll need a rail, and second...

What do I do about the front sight post? I figure I need to put a folder on it or get rid of it.

I'm new to the AR, and I want to shoot Service Rifle with the OSA.

(And I also would like to know where to get a rail.....)
