    Today was the first I had heard of this and I'm glad to see LaRue do the right thing.

    I was honestly shocked that LaRue would take that stance... I could see telling LEO to suck it but they have always been awesome with customers and seems to have an understanding of how to give a big "F You" to the antis.

    Maybe I'm a little biased though because Mark LaRue responded to one of my posts on AR15.com a long time ago and offered to replace an ARMS mount I had issues with, with one of his mounts at no cost to myself.

    I've bought a few other LaRue products since then and they have always been excellent.

    Can't afford a whole LaRue rifle, but it's good to know that I can still refer their products to others...

    So larue didnt do what everyone jumped to the conclusion that they did? So everyone was ready to hang the company over hearsay on the internet? Does anyone have the integrity to apologize?

    Ok so many other times on here people want to hear the facts before making a judgement. But today want to crucify a good company for something someone else said on a forum.... Dont forget to be polite to an anti today btw. But the next person with a larue hat or something, punch them in the face for not doing enough and supporting them.



    I think im having dillow chicken for dinner tonight.

    They did. They told us they wouldn't fulfill our orders.
    It took 16 pages on arfcom to force them to comment.

    Notice they didn't say that we were wrong? they said they were sorry for the confusion.

    I bet if i hadn't started that thread and bombed it none of would have ever seen our rifles.

    So, occbrian is a liar? He didn't hear what he said he heard from Larue, when he called about his order?

    ETA: I'm honestly happy for you and I hope you are enjoying your new home. I'm glad that at least some of the people who want to get out have been able to do so. That being said, your "F MD, you guys are suckers for not moving, you did it to yourselves, blah blah Florida herp derp" attitude has been noted.....again. Since you made your move, you have made it abundantly clear how you feel.

    If that were the case (which it wasn't) then you were just as guilty at jumping to conclusions. You more than anyone fanned the flames during the entire thread. Now you come on again saying tsk tsk to us?

    Stay in Florida, and when a hurricane comes your direction next year, all I will say is "Karma's a bitch."

    Cool, Ill keep my order in then (only ordered it in April 2013 :lol2:). . . but, in the mean time, if I see a SR-25 ECC lying around (fat chance! :lol2:) I might just grab that and cancel the LaRue. . . all of this is, of course, after I pay off my pre Oct 1 binge of AKs, Lowers and ammo.

    Stick with LaRue over KAC for the 7.62, I think you'll be happier.

    And I'm glad to see LT did the right thing, I thought they would. Everyone in this industry makes mistakes and BS laws make it tougher still.

    Really pumped to see them announce that they're considering an HBAR line. That should help any haters realize they're actually on our side, and working to help.

    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

    We are working hard to fulfill all orders from every State.

    While it is true that there will be no rifles shipping to Maryland anytime soon, any Maryland customer who has a LaRue Rifle on order will remain on order and held in-line until their rifles are ready to ship, unless they wish decide to cancel. This includes both direct sales and dealers. Unfortunately, we cannot forecast how long it'll be until your rifle ships. We are still experiencing a tremendous backlog with rifles. When your rifle becomes ready to ship, any laws or restrictions in place at that time will be discussed.

    Regarding HBAR’s ...
    This is a situation which requires a lot more thought than saying "all LaRue rifles with a heavy barrel are H-BAR’s”. It is our position that the Maryland law requires that a manufacturer actually designs, labels and markets a rifle as an H-BAR to be considered an H-BAR. Simply saying it's an H-BAR to circumvent the law is only asking for trouble. We're taking this position to protect not only our customers, but to protect our company as well. We are exploring the concept to offer a parallel series in what we would call an H-BAR configuration. It is our intent to offer this to Maryland customers who have been in line for rifles with a similar (non-H-BAR) profile. Any future H-BAR configuations will need to be compliant with any MD laws at the time of shipment.


    So what do those statements underlined in bold mean?

    Wrong you obviously didn't read none of the threads.....:sad20:

    No, i didnt go on arfcom, everything seems to be posting here as well.

    So, occbrian is a liar? He didn't hear what he said he heard from Larue, when he called about his order?

    ETA: I'm honestly happy for you and I hope you are enjoying your new home. I'm glad that at least some of the people who want to get out have been able to do so.

Since you made your move, you have made it abundantly clear how you feel.

    I dont know occbrain. I have no idea if hes lying on not. But i would think youd want to go off more than what 1 person said.

    Take note. MD is a lost cause, and its not just because of the laws, taxes, etc.

    If that were the case (which it wasn't) then you were just as guilty at jumping to conclusions. You more than anyone fanned the flames during the entire thread. Now you come on again saying tsk tsk to us?

    Stay in Florida, and when a hurricane comes your direction next year, all I will say is "Karma's a bitch."

    Again, so what are the underlined bold statements above? Maybe im misunderstanding. Please clear it up for me. But it seems that Larue WILL still send you your order as long as it was made prior to Oct 1. I stood up for larue. Have some integrity. Everything i said was true. Everyone bashed the company for something that is sorted out as stated above. Unless theres a part to this im missing. I dont see the problem.

    MD gets hit with hurricanes too smart guy. Do you remember the east coast getting torn apart last year? OC was flooded, we lost part of Jersey, etc. well Disney Worlds still standing. Universal is still there, the space center is still there. Downtown Orlando is still going. But hey, i hope bad things happen to you too i guess lol

    I went to ARFcom and read the thread by OCCbrian. I was truly disappointed by how the LRT fanboys responded. With the type of hating going on in there I wonder how we as a community will survive.

    I mean in occbrians one post he starts it with " if this is true..." Then at the end complains they didnt email anyone. But he doesnt even have confirmation!

    If the LaRue is 1-3 years out I might end up with both :cool: At least thats the ultimate plan my crazy brain has come up with lol. If my savings account says $5k ish before the LaRue hits my card and it still looks like the LaRue is a ways off, well. . . I cant let that money sit there and do nothing :lol2:

    Guilty conscience? I never said I hope bad things happen to you, I simply said Karma is a Bitch. If you think that will cause bad things to happen, as Colin Cowherd says "That's a you problem."

    Tjen hy crap, in the next thread created occbrian edited and said hes now happy with larue!! So what the fucck are you all talking about?

    Ok, a little background (and Brian doesn't need defending, least of all by me): First off, OCCBrian has been a stalwart on the fight against gun control in Maryland. Literally every day I showed up to the legislature he was there, even on days when no bills were being discussed. Also, if you would look very carefully at the LaRue thread on arfcom, Brian monitors and updates a very extensive listing of LaRue firearms in the que for production. He is an ADAMANT supporter of the brand and has been for a very long time. When he puts up a post saying they aren't shipping to Maryland, it's NOT based on rumor, conjecture, or voodoo. Because I know the man's character, I already knew he wouldn't say such a thing in an open forum without confirming it directly.

    He called LaRue and LaRue TOLD HIM he was SOL. It wasn't a guess, temper tantrum, or a wild guess he pulled out of his ass.

    Your bold quote you keep asking about came only after HOURS (almost a full day) of discussions on the topic.

    As soon as LaRue clarified (changed) their position, EVERYONE gave them credit. You on the other hand made it a point to continue to instigate a fight.

    So if you are truly trying to understand, then there you have it.
