Saw those earlier. Good, I'm glad I can finally get a FTS mount for under 200 USD.

Poor poor Mark LaRue... *beep* chinese... I find that some companies deserve the cloning... But small little awesome companies like LaRue don't deserve this... KAC does a bit for hugely inflating some of their prices, and apparently being corrupt, but LaRue sure as hell doesn't...... Support the real deal....

The thing is...I'm not going to buy a $150 mount for a $100 magnifier...and I'm not buying a $350 magnifier for a $300 gun, let alone any airsoft gun.
And I doubt Mark will loose any of his 'real steel' customer base with these being released. Maybe the airsoft PTW customer base...naw, not even them. -Vic -------------------- QUOTE Though, still waiting for Vic to taint it. He knows what I mean. |

Hmm, interesting. I always wanted one of theses, but not one that would cost half an AEG.

The people that are interested in this stuff that are using the products for their intended purposes, ie REAL FIREARMS are still going to buy the larue product. Mark Larue cares about real firearms, not airsoft garbage. The guy isnt losing a single dime. The only thing that bothers me is that 95% of the dimwitted airsofts out there that buy that product probably wont even know its a Larue design which is why Sale is right on the money. Sale, i agree with what you're saying and my above point reinforces why you're right. -------------------- Wasted__youf: "seriously, who *fruitcage* cares! Go get laid."

THey use his name for crying out loud. -------------------- |

Thing is, I'd love to get the real stuff, LaRue isn't that expensive but it seems easier to land on Mars than to have a LaRue item shipped to Europe...

I wouldn't go as far as to say LaRue wouldn't lose a single cent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) A guy on my team already has the real LaRue mounts and me and another teammate were sorely tempted. Now though, i doubt we'll be buying the real LaRue unless this china mount turns out to be total poo.
His main customer base however, the guys whom use this stuff on the battlefield or serious shooters, would never think of using a cheap, unproven, knock-off that might fail when they need it most (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -------------------- Bringing Teabagging from the imaginary world of computer gaming to the fantasy world of Airsoft skirmishing!

I'd be surprised if LaRue ever endorsed airsoft replicas of their mounts, even if they were given some sort of royalty fee for it. The possibility that a RS user would grab one of these and expect them to operate at the same levels as that of the real deal is too great. I mean, if there were RS shooters out there fooled into buying the airsoft Noveske KX3 Flashhiders for their real guns, then the likelihood RS users might grab the replica LaRue mounts would be equally significant. Plus, with the LaRue replica mounts it's even worse as they can be mounted on RS guns which means that that could eat into LaRue sales if they become popular enough amongst RS shooters.
As for this particular replica, I was never that much of a fan of it. I much prefer a replica of the Samson FTS mount. -------------------- Photos: My Photo Album

I was interested in the Samson mount once, but when i discovered that it didn't lock in the "to the side" position i patiently waited for the LaRue design (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It won't move when flipped to the side. I used to have one on a EOTech 3x. -------------------- |

Fair enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) i've got to admit that i've never used the samson mount so i probably envisioned to be worse than it actually is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So far i agree that Larue wont be losing any business with those of us that acutally use his products on real guns in real situations......fact is, if you pay top dollar for a RS mount to play airsoft with, you probably oughtta rethink your spending habits. I'm not telling people how to spend their money, but there's no reason for it in airsoft. Seriously, who are ya trying to impress??
I think it's a great product for those who want that unique Larue look, without the pricetag, or lift or death quality |
