Thumbs up LaRue Tactical

Seriously, we live in TEXAS.

I vote LaRue Tactical, Mark LaRue builds as many products in house as he possible can, his CNC machines run around the clock, he builds top notch products right here in Texas. He will also makes his own billet lowers.

Makes the best mounts known to man, **** RCC had LaRue mounts in a couple of his AR15 pictures with Nightforce scope.

I prefer 1911's over any other kind of pistol. In my opinion the XD pistols are the best of polymer pistols. The reason I have some XD pistols is they stay in my vehicles and if I am going to have a pistol stolen I would rather loose a $500 XD than have a $1200 1911 stolen.

Larue does make quality parts. You are correct in that I use their mounts for my optics. Its hard to see but every AR I have has its optics mounted in a Larue mount.

LaRue is awesome. Went to their range day and had a blast. I'm surprised to see you don't have any trijicon ACOGs or reflex stuff considering all the high end optics you have. Any reason?

Are you running any stealth uppers?

I have tried using the ACOG's, but I keep going back to CompM3's and M4's for some reason.I have 2 ACOG's now but they just arent mounted on any guns.

As far as the stealth uppers go, I dont have any or any preassembled AR. I have built every single one of mine from the receivers up. I use some of Larue's and many others in the builds, but I pick the oarts myself depending on the purpose of the rifle.

welll I decided for my 1st AR I'm going to go with a Bushmaster or DPMS and go from there, just to save some time as I'm also in the mix of doing an M1 build off a Remington SPS .308 which is proving a lil costly as is and I'm not even half way done...
Thanks for all the info guys...and RC as usual you have given alot of very useful info here...if I have any other questions I'll shoot you a PM that's for sure...

Jesus Christ RCC why in the hell do you need that many guns lol.

But heres my 2 cents I like the AR 15 (M16 for military) but just keep it clean and it will shoot fine. I would add a lot more but all these gun nuts covered everything basically.

I have the second highest range score at 29 Palms CA when I was a Marine out there I got a 346 out of a possible 350. But my SSGT got a 347 and took the gold. Was kinda pissed b/c I beat the previous record of 345 but got beat out the same day by my SSGT lol. When I first shot this rifle in Recruit Training I was really amazed how well it shot with iron sights at 500 Meters.

What are you looking for in a 1911? I just picked up my second Kimber today. Got a Ultra Raptor II to carry and picked up a full size SIS today.

Post up pics of the guns with you holding them and an LS1Tech sign so we know it's real. Even so you don't know what you are talking about either way.
