Any news on the new 553? When are they going to start shipping?

**Dport** · 07-02-06, 10:31

I thought they were shipping in limited numbers???

The only person that is getting them is Uncle Sam, and it doesn't sound like he's gotten that many yet.

No the ARMS mount does not offer adjustability and that is

the weak point of the 553 design.

Any word if they plan on offering a 553 minus the ARMS mount, and minus the NV compatibility in the near future (maybe named the model 513?) That I could mount on a LaRue mount???

I heard mention of a LaRue mount but I'm not sure if it will ever come about. There was some issue with part of the optics electronics being built into the bottom/mount.

when i spoke to eotech about release date for 553, i asked how come they did not use the la rue mount? they said a lot of people have been asking that same question and she did not know why they did not use the la rue given that seemed to be what the people wanted...

Go back and do some more research. This topic has been hashed over on many forums. The ARMS mount was used because that is what was in the spec given by the government.

I was told that the LaRue 553 mount is a NO-GO.
