Anyone know anything about these guys?
Just seem to have sprung up but seem to have all the right clobber. Do they stock or dropship? They are LaRue's Official Importer I see but LaRue don't know anything about them? WTF is going on with their prices though,  they seem to have been made by a random (high) number generator!

There is no official importer for Larue anywhere in the world, I've asked him many times about export and his answer has always been We only supply the American markets and American troops, He has no interest in anything outside of the good ol' USA which is his prerogative... so Official importer he is not... an importer he is..... Also If he is "drop shipping from Europe" he is serious trouble with ITAR... "Re-export or retransfer of defense articles or defense services to an end use, end user or destination not previously authorized is expressly forbidden" |
Paul Oglesby is his name, had an e-chat and he seems a sensible and straight guy. Knows his prices are high but no way around it by all accounts. He does not buy direct as they will not sell outside. So whatever way he's doing it he's getting it done but charging accordingly.

Everything we are doing is above board and completely legal, I can't say anymore than that. LanTac has an exclusive UK deal with the supplier we use and they are official. I have had a long chat with Mark B today and he knows what we are about, hopefully we can help each other out, we are working hard to get our prices down for UK customers. ATB P |

I saw the website a little while ago.
Great looking site and some nice kit on there but the prices were a huge turnoff. I simply can't justify paying those that kind of money. It's always good to see new shooting suppliers as in theory it helps the industry to become more competitive and helps the shooter with more competitively priced goods. However to come into the market offering "nice to have" kit at prices way above those available in other countries leaves a bitter taste in the mouth and causes me as a potential customer to just walk away. It would be good to see if the pricing can be sorted out. Good luck to them (and KingConan, I hope they can get the prices down. I'm all for supporting competitive industry with good customer service. |

Remember the Loose Lips motto? Jeez I wasn't aware I had questioned the legality? - He's doing it 100% legally so no worries... Anyhow he must be a good bloke - he used to be friends with and go fishing with my Dad I've just found out!

100% gold this lot  I agree, ordered a new stock in commercial flavour & when they couldn't get it offered me the mil spec version with a free buffer tube thrown in.
I've just ordered the BHOA from them as well. Andy. Ps my AR is now officially 'monkey metal' free after I've finally got a proper front rail sling mount. |

Just exact where did I mention or single you out?
You know that I was referring to everyone in general! Why do people always have to f'kin' twist everything round? 
You could just edit his post for him to make it say what you want. Apparently thats possible. And has been done. With hillarious effect.
