My OBR 556 was ready for shipment Tuesday, but my retarded bank will NOT let the funds go through. I was trying to get the daily limit raised on my debit card so it would go through. I bet I called Juli at least half a dozen times and she politely would reply, "No, it didn't go through." I'm so pissed at my bank right now, I would seriously switch if there was another option. Long story short, I should be picking up the rifle tonight at my FFL guy's house, instead I'll be sending a cashier's check tomorrow morning. So the wait continues....

P.S. Mark if you're listening, Juli is a top notch person in my book. I would have been crappy to me if the roles were reversed, but she was extremely helpful and nice on the phone. Bottom line, LT has their shit together, but my bank apparently does not

Thanks for the comments on Juli ... good to know what an outsider thinks.

She new?  In the probably two hundred times or more that I've called LaRue, I don't believe I've ever talked to a Juli.

Seems like I talked to her back in March if memory serves, when my OBR was ready to go and she couldn't locate my FFL info. She had found it before I called her back though, and didn't phone slap me when I professed my love for her for being so awesome. I was a little excited

I've had something similar happen to me awhile back.

Time to find a new bank. A few years ago, I had a similar issue with buying an AR-10. I told my bank to make the changes or I'd find a new bank. Less, than 24hrs, all was corrected. Not sure if it mattered or not, but I had been a member for a number years. Either way, you should have 100% access to your money. Good luck!

I would love to change, but there isn't a better option. There is another one, but i think it's even smaller and would be worse. Anyway, I'm sending the cashier's check Express Mail and they should get it Monday or Tuesday. If the damn USPS loses that, there will be a small mushroom cloud in my vicinity... I guess I'm just worked up because I've never purchased anything quite this nice at once and the anticipation is killing me. The thrill of finding that "magic" load that punches one ragged hole, endless cleaning and fondling. You guys know what I'm talking about. Speaking of load, I have some SMK 77's with cannelure, 69's and Prvi's HPBT match 75's. Any body have any suggestions besides trying those with some Varget.

Most of my orders are over the phone (What can I say, I like the personal touch of talking to someone), and I have a kinda wonky bank, so sometimes there's issues with my order.  Oh, and yes, I've probably made 120 or so orders with them over the last few years.  It's rare that a week goes by without a package from LaRue...big or small.

120 orders?



Thought you only made $7000/yr? (from recent LaRue giveaway thread)



You must really, really enjoy LaRue stuff.

120 orders over the last few years.  That's only like 2 or maybe 3 orders a month.  That's not bad.  Every now and then, I order a new Nalgene bottle, as mine get scraped up pretty good.  I'll get a t-shirt here and there, a dillo for a friend, etc.  They're not all Stealth uppers.











As to affording it...my mom loves me.  Really, though...I do a lot of work for her in my free time (she's had her own business for about 25 years now) and I don't feel right getting a paycheck from my mom, so she just says "order what you want".  It works out for me.  I have a shit ton of LaRue stuff.

Wasn't there a thread maybe less than a year ago where we all had a general consensus to just ignore him & move on if this bullshit ever came up again.  I don't know the guy, but I've heard all the stories.  Live within your means & be honest.  If you can't do that than you are less than a man.  I just got a full time job & will be making about $20 K a year.  Worked part time 4 years before I got the position I have now.  Hard work got me there.  Graduated college last May, have $15,000 worth of college debt.  I am living with my mom until I get enough saved to move out on my own & get a place with my girlfriend.  I buy a 6 pack of Fat Tire/ 312 every Friday & have a CAO cigar about once every other week.  I have been working on the same AR15 for 3 years now.  What does any of this bullshit mean.  I live within my means.  If he can't do this, than thats his burden  sorry for the rant.  I don't see why any more threads need to be turn to shit because of this

O & congrats on the 5.56 OBR.  Man what I wouldn't do to have one of them 12"ers.  Wish you the best of luck with the bank BS

Leave bushy alone, he alright in my book. And if you read his posts like I do he's straight. And mom's are great!! I live with mine as she's 67 and retired and feels every bit safe with me. I pay rent, work around the house, she leaves me to my hobbies, gun collecting (15 and a half so far). I only make maybe 24 a year but my collection is my investment and 401k is my retirement.
