As long as they're not marked identically (or easy to differentiate), then it should be pretty easy to steer people clear of these. I'm just irritated that retards will try selling these as the LaRue version.

Its still bullshit, but at least they list them as replicas and aren't trying to pass them off as the real deal.

I think the "SHOELACE AVAILABLE HERE" banner at the bottom is a nice touch, though, as I am always misplacing my darn shoelaces.

It's an ATF sting.  (if you don't get it, just search the internet about the whole 14'' shoe string being rules a machine gun ordeal). |

it sucks that we can get knock off stuff in FDE before the real stuff

easy to spot as fakes:
the aimpoint mount looks like it only splits on one side of the ring, and the nut on the locking lever is sticking up pretty high the railed handguard is definitely fake, my LaRue 10.0 is "round" between the rails, not pointed/squared-off |

Well, they really do fail at the details when it comes to knockoff stuff - although I'm glad of that. Good enough for copy-cats to put on airsoft guns and be excited about, and more than adequate to distinguish them from their real counterparts.

Over a year ago I had e-mailed Larue about knock offs on E-bay that had the Larue name on them, of course coming from china.
I never received a reply from Larue, guess they read my e-mail ? Riga |

I'm sure they looked at it, as they have here. I think the sad fact is that there probably isn't much you can do about it unless you want to lay out some serious money and time for international investigative work. I'm sure barking up the Chinese or HK tree will produce some positive results.

Someone show me how to tell this is a fake. I looked closely at this picture and compared it to my "bought directly from Larue" LT649 and I can't see any difference. Scary.. ebaybanned.com/product_info.php?products_id=1350 |

Buy from LaRue or one of their authorized dealers, and you won't have to worry about being scammed. If the price seems to good to be true...

Just by looking at it in a picture it would be impossible to tell. But if you got your hands on one you could probably tell instantly. I doubt it even locks in place. |

The problem arises when you want to buy a used LaRue product off the EE. Then you have no way of knowing until you get it in hand; and at that point, it's too late. |

No place but Texas.
Direct from LaRue only. Free hats and dillos. No chi-com knockoff dillos or there will be war.

i'm not gonna lie, i bought a knock off Larue canti AP mount....
FOR R&D, I SWEAR!! and the fact of having my blue gun setup like my duty gun.... so, beofore i hear it, on my REAL gun i have the Comp M3 w/LT129 mount combo, LT114 PVS 14 mount, rear troy buis, LT17 on my M900, and Sling....so, i do support Larue! well, i came across $50 in my paypal account from a refund i had forgot about, so figured why not. i think i know now what the term pot metal means. it feals like shit. feels like i could break it in my bare hands. the two ring halves and screws are not identical. So thats i huge difference, again besides the obvious cheapness of the material. the locking lever, sad to say is pretty spot on. the battery compartment though, you will cross thread it, no questions...
