So what's the deal? Did you just not like the way the Garand turned out?

Quoted: So what's the deal? Did you just not like the way the Garand turned out? No, they were only supposed to do the Serbu. I sent my rifle case back with them from BRC and the Garand & Glock were in there just to get shipped back so I wouldn't have to take the case back on the plane. |

Glad to hear everything has worked out for you. Hope I never have a shock like that! And if I do I hope to get it resolved as quickly as you did!

Yeah, I've always liked the idea of camoed tactical weapons. Depending on the durabilty reports I hear from people using Lauer Custom Weaponry I may decide to send them something from me.
Edit to add: ROFL, I was wondering why you would have a Garand camoed[:)]. I recommend you keep the Glock as is though. |

The Garand looks like something the Alpine Corp would've carried in WWII.
Keep the Glock. I think it looks cool. |

How hard would it be to remove the finish from the Garand? Is that out of the question? I mean, it looks cool and all, but a Garand should be blued and wood. Period.
By the way, I think that Lauer is handling this in a real class-act kinda way. Sure, they messed up, but they're making it right, and then some. -Gloftoe |

I'd keep the Glock-I toyed with having one painted 'cause they look sharp, but I was little concerned that it would be more noticeable if it "peeked" out from under my sweater when I was carrying it-but nah it's cool, keep it. [8D]

I like the looks of the Glock, but the Garand?
Nope. Although I'm sure it's a first-rate job, it looks like that rifle was raped. I guess I'm kind of a purist snob when it comes to Garands. Glad everything was settled to your satisfaction, though. |

The Garand is already done. I'd cut a deal & keep it. Good conversation piece, if nothing else. Invent a story about WWII Special Forces Alpine Division using them [:D]

DAMN. That's sacrilege on the M1!! It looks interesting, but an M1 should never be anything other than wood and parkerized steel, IMHO. Can they strip the paint/finish off? If they could do that on the metal parts, and then get you a new aftermarket walnut stock, that might suffice. That's what I'd request. |

This is a great example of fashion camo rather than functional camo. A couple cans of krylon would produce more funtionasl results. What kind of sight picture do you get with those battleship grey Glock sights?(send it back) |

The Glock looks cool as hell. You should give me a chance at pointing it at a few perps to see how they like the camo job.[;)]
Honestly though, let me know how it stands up to holster wear. As for the Garand, I wish I had $500 bucks right now for you, although I do have a Service Grade SA coming from the CMP any day now.....hmmmnnn. |

If that was an M1A, instead of a garand, you would be boxing it up for me now. Keep the glock. I don't understand what the big hullabulloo was all about. Laur should have had a chance to know a boo-boo happened before it got brought up on the forum. Seems to me they are making it right. (now I wonder how much they'll charge me to do a carbine in woodland...). Seriously, they look good to me...

Quoted: If that was an M1A, instead of a garand, you would be boxing it up for me now. Not likely, cause a camo M1A would look sweet and would be staying here, but a camo Garand is just not right IMHO. And I just want to clarify for everyone why I posted the original thread. It wasn't done to get people upset at Lauer, it was just to share with everyone what happened. The extended ar15.com family that we have here shares a lot of stuff with each other. "Lauer made a mistake, here's what happened, I've contacted them and will let you know how they resolve it" was the extent of the intention of my post. (Edited cause I meant to say ar15.com family, not BRC family. Duh!) |

The Glock is great looking, as is the Serbu. The Garand is OK, but I would probably do the same thing you are doing with it because it looks better in natural wood.

Scratch that. I thought they had painted over the sights but looked closer and noticed that the masking hadn't been removed. After removing the masking, the sights are just fine! Still going to put the night sights on though... |

I know it isn't what you wanted, but the paint job has a...something....that's sort of cool. If it is not a professional type carry gun, I would keep it.
The Garand just did not cut it. The M1 is not supposed to look that way at all. |

Here's my take.
1)Garands should not be Camo'd they are classics. Classics should not be tampred with. 2)Glocks should not be camo'd the Tennifer finish is the bomb. To cover it up is like painting over a master piece painting. This is the word of the Lord(trader) |

OK, I'm nuts, I like it! The Glock, the Serbu, the whole shebang! Seriously, I have a really great friend that I don't get to hang/shoot with as much as I should. He's been after me to get a Garand. Now I've done it [:)] He is really going to hate it[}:D] Now where do I get some Clips. I will soon have a gun that takes clips! DVD Tracker and Lauer, Thanks for the opportunity! |
