I have a QRP2 on my M4S right now and looking to upgrade a bit.  I'm not entirely disappointed with the QRP, but I'd like to buy something that has a quick detachable lever.  I've been looking at what LaRue has to offer, GG&G, American Defense and BOBRO.  Any comments?

LaRue. Hands down. Not even a debate.

As you can see thru the Aimpoint, why the interest in the QD? Curious. I have been asking myself why I had some QD's on some of my stuff recently.

I used to say LaRue, now I say Bobro. Every comparative test that has been performed seems to put Bobro ahead of them in RTZ, and I feel that the Bobro is the sturdier interface.

It's mainly aesthetics.  I just don't like the burly knob on the side and would like a little more fluidity.  Like I said, I don't have many complaints about it (QRP), just want to get something a little less obtrusive, if that makes sense.

It's also all but physically impossible for a QD mount to vibrate loose.

I have an M4s on a bo bro QD mount I just dummy cord the red dot to the rifle anyway but I got the whole set up off the EE for $500 shipped and I see M4s and M4 Aimpoint all the time in the $500 to $550 range on there.I love it.Ive had the Larue maounts and those are great but with bo bro its a friction QD mount and automatically adapts to any width rail within the spec Larue has a nut that has to be adjusted for fit.

They were removed after communication from Mark LaRue. Lowlight from Sniper's hide tested them.
http://weww.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2217038&page=2

However, Trijicon tested multiple mounts before selecting Bobro for their SRS optic. The Bobro was the best one they tested, and their test equipment could not detect any shift. I would be surprised if LaRue was NOT tested.

This mirrors the results of numerous people who have tested the Bobro mounts. They have no discernible shift. LaRue usually averages less than 1 MOA, so still very good. I cannot link you to them, because links to that site are not allowed.

Me personally? I just like Bobro mounts because a) they actually fit the M4S (one of my LaRue mounts would not, as the adjustment nut kept hitting the battery housing far before the optic could be bolted on), and b) they are machined much better, as both of my mounts from LaRue had poor quality of machining on the rail interface lug's load-bearing face. This is shown here, as a visible wear pattern, on the original (it came already attached to my M4S, and did fit.):


and here on the replacement (it was not even close to fitting, so I never was able to shoot it, but the visual inspection and caliper measurements show the same flaw, and .002" machining variance):


It measured .002" difference across the face.

So yeah, I love my LaRue flashlight mounts, as they are simple and secure, but they are not precise enough for me to use for an optic, as I feel that things that hold optics to weapons should be machined evenly. But then, maybe I'm just being OCD.

Absolute co-witness?

I have the Bobro on my M4s and love it, rock solid.
Link Posted: 7/7/2012 1:39:08 PM EST
I have a couple Larue mounts and love them, but after getting a used Bobro with a scope i bought, It is now my favorite mount. Everything about it is exceptional quality and the qd is easier to use and it seems like it clamps better to me. Im gonna go with them for optic mounts from now on. still going to keep my Larue flashlight mounts and bipod mount though
Link Posted: 7/7/2012 2:04:47 PM EST
The beauty of ANY business it NO ONE is entitled to just be the best w/o question forever.  I own lots of LaRue stuff and will probably still buy things from them, especially a rifle.  The Brobo mount on the SRS just blew me away though.  Such a better design.  All is not lost LaRue, make another one –– even better.  The world goes on.

When Bobro makes a scope mount for traditional optics that actually allows you to get a torque wrench on it, maybe I will give them a shot.  I tried one, and sold it.  The bolts/screws that they use suck.

Until then I'll be putting all of my high end optics in Larue mounts- super easy to level, and I can get a common torque wrench on it.  They do everything I need them to and I have taken my optics off plenty.

BTW, properly installed Larue mounts RTZ at about .1moa, not 1moa.  I have not detected a shift when I have removed and reinstalled mine.

For optics that dont have traditional ring style mounts, Bobro I'm sure is a good option as well.  I personally prefer the simplicity of the Larue design.  Its a solid peice with very few moving parts.  The bobro I'm sure works fine, but their mounts are much more complicated with quite a few more parts.

Did they Fedex you another car once you found out it had dirt on the tires ?

It actually arrived with a crack 1/2" long in the cf fender. The manager of the bowling green facility spoke directly with me, arranging a new one for it. Yes, it fit. No, it did not have the same problem that the first one did.

News flash 10%er, like the majority of the readers noted, there was nothing wrong with the first mount you received from us ...

.... just like that 1/2" fender crack  ... it's all in your head.





ETA - You also made all kinds of comments that don't jive for sh*t with the volume of mounts Trijicon is shipping to the military in our mounts.  

Just sayin' and makin' a note of the lack of authenticity of your information  ...


Your outfit sent me a mount with a foot that had a .002" variance across the load-bearing portion of it (per my micrometer readings, YMMV, as your toys look fancier than mine).
It was included with my optic.
I sent photo's of the un-even wear produced by the un-even surface. Your phone-answering person (forgot their name) said "That's not right." when they saw the pictures I sent.

My mount was promptly replaced with another one. This one did not fit my M4S, it would not even attach to the optic. However, looking at it, I could see if was un-evenly machined. I measured it. It mic'ed the same as my first mount. None of the other mounts I have from you have any variance on the recoil-bearing lug's front face.


This is how your mounts should look after a bit of wear:


This is how the one you sent me for my M4S looked after a range session:

Fired on the same upper, on the same T-slot as the first mount (TA44).

This leads me to 3 possible conclusions:

1: You do not feel that the recoil-baring face of the lug needs to be machined flat, and run-out isn't measured, or the tolerances I saw are acceptable when measured.
2: You have determined that it is superior for only 1 half of the recoil lug's face to interact with the rail, and this is a design feature.
3: You made a bad batch of mounts and are trying to shift focus from this snafu.

I'm going with 3, because...

-When I called, and e-mailed photo's, I was told that it was not right. It was never called a design feature. I was never told "The tolerance for this part is greater than the variance, and un-even contact is expected/acceptable".
-I was sent a mount that would not physically fit my optic. The lever adjustment nut (no-matter how loose or tight I set the mount by itself on my rail) kept hitting the battery compartment on my M4S.
-I was sent a mount that mic'ed identically to the first––which I mailed to you with dimensions listed. Why replace my mount with one that is identical to the first without explaining why, and expecting me to be cool with it? Why send me a mount that will not even fit an M4S for some reason I didn't bother to determine other than outlined?

Most companies that have attempted to build a reputation on perfection will at least verify that the replacement part is not identical in the same way that the original was returned for. You dropped the ball, and you happened to drop the ball on me, and I happened to take pictures of it, explain what happened as best I can, and now you're in "blame the customer" mode.

I guess here's your choice. Stick to your guns that 0.002" variance is acceptable on this part and I'm more precise in my expectations than you are in your offerings, or admit that yes, even LaRue Tactical can drop the ball sometimes, and let us know what exactly went wrong with what seems like a batch of those mounts (I don't know how many it was, maybe I got the only two in the world?)

You can tell me "It's all in my head" all you want, Mark (I'm Jon, btw, or as your sales staff calls me, "Bud"), but neither the camera nor micrometer add two thousandths.

Indeed, you did bend over backward, unfortunately you sent me a mount that had the same issue, and further, would not even fit an m4s even though it was the correct model to do so. I paid return shipping myself, fwiw, but I'm not discussing a done deal so much as I am your qc/qa. My complaint was the product, not your cs, which was excellent as you note, excepting your lack of maturity in this thread.

Go on, Mark, tell me how you really feel, but you're not going to change the facts of the matter with your insults. I got two out of spec mounts from you, and elected to purchase a different product.

When op asked about this type of mount, I related my experience, upon which you engaged me in argument, ultimately insulting me, and my upbringing, etc.

Despite you stooping to the level of the guy that obviously pissed in your cheerios I thought that offering a free mount to the OP was a class act and typical of what I expect from your company. Then I read this latest post.

I'll keep buying your mounts because I think that they are the best and because I like them and the service that I have received every time I have placed an order.

With that said, was that last post really necessary? You're the professional and should be the bigger man. Your problem customer may well have deserved your scorn in the privacy of your office but your public post almost tasted deriding and condescending to the original poster as well as us passersby. Sounds like I may not be smart enough to chose the correct mount or realize that I have received the incorrect mount when it is accidentally shipped to me? Is that it?



By the way, the pics from your manufacturing facility were pretty cool. I have been in similar facilities and they always impress me. Neat stuff. I wish I knew more about it.

I'm tired of arguing with Mark LaRue in your thread, OP, and apologize for it. I no-longer buy LaRue optics mounts, as the precision is not to my liking as outlined and as stated by Mark, but I still enjoy their other products. If Mark has anything more to say, he can take it to PM, e-mail, call me, send a smoke signal.

The main advantage that a Bobro offers over LaRue is:

Constant tension regardless of rail (obviously within reason). This means that you can swap it between rifles with slightly varying rails (most very a few thousandths) and you will only need to remember the dope for the optic––not have to adjust the mount.

RTZ is better. Noone has ever measured a shift that I am aware. Not 1 MOA, not .01 MOA.

As to Mark LaRue's other assertions, regarding the carbide die, thanks for the explanation, Mark. (Regarding it being explained that it was an H&K mount, I refuse to be drawn into further arguing in this thread).

Is this unique to your M4 mount?

It is on NONE of my other LaRue mounts (FUG, 2 scout mounts, a few others) I have had good luck with your other mounts, and I do continue to use them, your personality not withstanding, and you continue to take my money, my personality not withstanding, because it seems to spend just the same.

BTW, properly installed Larue mounts RTZ at about .1moa, not 1moa.  I have not detected a shift when I have removed and reinstalled mine.



For optics that dont have traditional ring style mounts, Bobro I'm sure is a good option as well.  I personally prefer the simplicity of the Larue design.  Its a solid peice with very few moving parts.  The bobro I'm sure works fine, but their mounts are much more complicated with quite a few more parts.




They do. Link.



Perhaps now, but not just a little while ago.  I agree with Marksman, the screw placement was retarded and impeded even scope mounting to start with.
