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.
does the arms mount on that have any adjustablility for the difference in spec 's from one manufaturers rail to another's?
mil' spec' is not always, mil' spec...

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.Originally Posted by nickdrak
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.Originally Posted by Cold Zero
I was told that the LaRue 553 mount is a NO-GO.Originally Posted by M4arc
