VFZ (Vectored Force Zero) Mounts
Coming soon to www.LaRue.com A new theory in the concept of clamping accessories to MIL-STD-1913 rails, VFZ applies the KISS principle to our entire line of QD mounts. The new VFZ will be an option to all LaRue mounts that feature a locking lever, and are the perfect cost-effective solution for those who don’t need ultra-quick-disconnect capability. The VFZ takes less than a minute to install, using a supplied 3/8” wrench. Once installed on the firearm, index marks allow the user to remove the mount, then reattach to the same tension, providing unprecedented return to zero for a non-QD-levered mount. The unique vertical alignment of the clamp allows components that are structurally stronger than traditional cross-bolt designs. LT104-VFZ Shown here. Patent Pending.

sweet,i thought i was seeing something odd about the mounts on the monthly calender. Nice work guys,looks great!
|
|
Not knocking it or anything, but what would be the reason for getting this over a normal qd mount? Is it cheaper than the equivilant QD mount? I'l make this easy. send me some for T&E
|
|
Awesome! Now i can just wait to get these instead of the QD's for my new 700 Tactical. MY LT 113 was getting a little annoyed at the other rings I've got on it.
|
|
And here I was thinking, hey that mount in the new calendar is missing QD levers
|
|
Very cool. No use for me at the moment, but I can easily see the applications where something like this would be useful.

I'll probably get smoked for this, but I'm just not understanding something here.
|
|
I think the point is to offer a more affordable mount that while it doesn't have the usual lightening quick QD it can still be removed fairly easily and will return to zero when put back. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
|
|
If they are affordable enough, I might ditch the warne rings on my 24" sabre upper in favor of these.
|
|
This sounds like the perfect mount for me. I don't need quick detatch but want the return to zero quality LT is known for.
|
|
I would only buy them if they are less than the qd counterparts.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Bingo. VFZ - Vectored Force Zero - TM " Why a leverless LaRue mount ? " "Well, I'll tell ya pilgrim." - John Wayne 1.) For those folks that just refuse to come to grips with the fact that our LaRue lever mounts solved all the past issues widely known to plague lever mounts. 2.) For those folks that don't want levers no matter how good they are. 3.). For those folks still wanting removable repeatability, but don't mind carrying a small tool (3/8" wrench) to do it with. 4.) For those folks that want removable repeatability, but don't care if it takes a little longer than the blink of an eye our LaRue lever takes. 5.) For those folks never faced with removing or replacing their optic under no-light conditions (in the dark) 6.) For those folks just not willing to pay for LaRue lever capability, but still want LaRue quality in a mount, that will still hold an incredible zero. 7.) For those folks that have no intention of ever swapping their optic (but can in a pinch if their scope fogs in Alaska) M. LaRue |

I'm very interested. I need a LT-104 mount and am on a pretty tight budget. I hope these are cheaper. I think thats the Idea of these.
|
|
Nice. Now if I could just have a few to test I'll tell you how well they work. |
|
Cool!
Few questions: 1. Can older/current mounts be fitted with this? 2. Any weight savings over current lever mounts? 3. I know current lever mounts are bulletproof, but might these prove to be more so? |
|
I could see this for my ACOG, since I have no other optics for it. Would save my knuckles when charging.
But for flashlights, bipods, etc, I would definately leave the QR levers on for quick customization... |

Now I gotta go out and buy more stuff to mount, 'cause every, single mount I have is a LaRue already!
Keep the innovations coming, Mark!!!! |
|
If we retro-fit then we have unused levers laying around. Bummer

Looks good. So how soon can I add these to my cart? However long it takes us to figure out how to make our website accept your order.

Could the QD levers be added later on to the VFZ mounts? Once again, it's a thinking man's sport and you nailed it ... send it in for a factory upgrade. |

Yes, quite a bit cheaper. That could be a key thing for a lot of us who are just outfitting range toys, especially with today's economy. |
|
So they're basically regular rings (albeit high quality ones), but instead of the traditional screw to tighten, you tighten a tension nut instead.
ETA: right?

Same for me, I'd have a ton of LaRue stuff, but for what I would use it for, I can't justify the price, when i look at how much ammo i dont have, and could get with the money! |

I would like this for my larue BUIS, i dont need a qd mount, i just want it locked on there for good.
