Dallas239Any LaRue contacts?
A client has a product that I think they'd be interested in, and before I cold call, I figured I'd check the Sigforum network.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

That's rather cryptic.
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

Is the sort of thing that I think would be right up their alley, which is why I thought of them. Really any accessory manufacturers could potentially be interested. Please feel free to email if your comfortable disclosing your reasons for not using them.

The reasons are varied. Compared to the larger market, LaRue makes a quality product; over time however, his mounts will mar and eventually round-off the rails on a AR. While his public persona is a supporter of the ground-pounder and his unfailing support of guys headed downrange, his ability as a businessman and those relationships, is a burnt path of destruction and a who's who in the tactical firearms world. Some of those issue are known and can be found on the web over the year, others not so much.

JimineerWell, I just got a bunch of free bumper stickers and some Dillo Dust seasoning in my last order, so that trumps whatever you said.

He has a lot of die hard followers but I agree with your statement concerning his business practices. I also think that he should have expanded outside the AR market, perhaps his recent decision to sell AR kits eludes to falling sales. I know there are plenty of brick and mortar FFLs that don’t care for him. I’ll personally think that I’d be doesn’t change his business model he won’t last. I know personally that their customer service is horrendous. If I were the OP I would find a different company to work with but that’s just my opinion.
