I have a few Larue mounts and the underside of this mount does not look like the real deal. Can anyone look at this mount and tell me if it is a Chinese fake. I don't want to buy junk.

Looks right to me.  I've never had that particular mount, though, so I'll reserve judgement.

The locking levers on my Larue mounts all have the Larue logo imprinting on the bottom. The dimples are also not in the same location. Just seems off so I am asking the experts as I don't have this exact model to compare to anything.

Another shot from the side.

At first I thought REAL.  Maybe just an older version.  Then I looked at my LT-104 and the locking lugs are different.  

Mine doesn't have the logo on the bottom...I think thats a fairly new thing...

I'm not gonna be able to say REAL or FAKE with any certainty.

Again this is why I always buy mine straight from the source.


ETA:

Look at these levers....





That 707 has a custom paint scheme courtesy of my 4 year old and Crayola...



I looked at my other LT-104 and it looks like these...I bought all of mine from LT.

I'm not saying it's fake...but there are some differences.  Where did you get it and how old is it supposed to be?

It was already installed on the bottom of the scope as a package deal. The scope being in Europe has me very suspicious. The scope itself is only a year or two old. I have no idea how old or where the mount came from. Got a PM from someone at Larue who said it is real so that works for me. Thanks guys !
