Received many items from LaRue, had a small issue with
one, they next day shipped a replacement, with a prepaid shipping tag for return. These People and Product are the Best! |

I've called them to place an order... the guy on the phone talked me out of it and helped me find a product which fit me better elsewhere so I bought some other stuff from their website anyways  now THAT is a sign of a first class company. qualities like that are few and far between. i have held off buying their products as im a cheap bastard and have yet to kit out any of my AR's, but when i do, i will be drinking the LA-RUE koolaide. |

Having learned the hard way to "cry once, buy once," I bit the bullet and bought one of their SPR QD scope mounts for my SPR. That thing is awesome, I'm a LaRue convert for sure. I'll certainly buy more of their stuff in the future (when warranted.)
All the cool toys they included with it were icing on the cake - I've been wearing my LaRue hat everywhere

I'm told I like to lick Mark's sweaty armpits with my adoration of his products. 
Translation: Everything I've touched that was produced by LaRue was quality kit. Now the Burris FastFire they put on their AK Iron Dot? Not so much. Whats wrong with the fastfire? |

The review thread in the LaRue forum disappeared (between active and archive sites), so here's the copy/paste from GOTX: LaRue IronDot/FastFire review |

All, I'm told that there are some hidden upgrades now in the FastFires ... like better waterproofing. There have been a couple issues, but what optic hasn't. It's remains a cost-effective AK solution. And yes, there are items at a substantially higher price point that could replace it. We've shipped a metric sh*t-ton of 'em, with very few issues. And folks know how we are regarding the disposition of issues.

ML  Liek OMG its Mark Larue himself! On our very own HTF! Excuse me while I squeal like a 13 yr old girl at a backstreet boys concert. 
Heck, I bought a DVD from Mark and even by that experience I'd buy from Larue ANY day. In fact I'm considering getting a stealth upper or just a rail. Decisions, decisions... So hows the down economy Mark?

ML Mark, The newer version of the FF having better waterproofing is what I heard as well. Unfortunately what the FastFire needs is a constant-on, max brightness override switch, faster response on the autobrightness, and no pulsing in lowlight. I'd bet that he Pride-Fowler MRD (that doesn't have those issues) would be a better optic to fit in an AK IronDot, albeit at a slightly higher price. I doubt that higher price point would be an issue to your customers, as they are already sold on the notion that quality goods might cost a bit more than the knockoffs. ETA: Quoted:
