    He's just a douchbag of a person. He's even admitted that when people meet him in person, they ask him why he's such a douche on the forums.

    He controls what's posted and who stays on AR15.com. He's always into high school drama with other industry people... instead of just shutting up and letting his product stand on its own good reputation.

    And he doesn't sell his highly touted "Dillo Dust" on his website. You gotta buy his products first before you get one for free. Boy, what a Douche!!!

    Well, sorry to hear this......I've always liked his rails and mounts. This does give me pause.

    Thanks for the insight..

    I get what your saying now. Its uncomfortable on my wrists to grab the forend unless i'm using a VFG. They just dont like bending that way.... but it does not seem to make a difference whether the forends are skinny or fat.

    100% agreed. If he was some terrorist, anti-american, satan worshiping individual, I might not buy his products..... but he's not. Just become he comes across "a lil douchy" is no reason for me not to buy his stufff. He has a wide selection of tried, proven, and well made products; and for that, I will not let stupid internet distaste sway me from his business.

    Matter of fact, think i'm gonna go buy a T1 and mount from him now....

    I really like the feel of the smaller handguards even though I have large hands. The MI Gen2 is the perfect size to me

    He's the John Hennessey of the firearm world.

    The tighter I close my hand, the tenser my wrist seems to get.

    LaRue is a dick, but he does make good stuff, and he doesn't get near the profit that his other employees must get when I place an order, by the numbers, so if his gear is the best for an application, yeah, I still buy it. I'm with you. If I let my dislike for someone make me use inferior gear, who exactly hurt who?

    You are pretty much a smart ass yourself.
