Let's simmer down now...
Plenty of good info in this thread and if we can keep it civil it will stay.
That's what it sounded like when Grant posted that on another board a long time ago, when the specs and photos of the 553 first came out. I guess it was worth a try.Originally Posted by nickdrak
This is not going to be a forum were threads get locked. Everybody has read the rules before they signed up and is expected to follow them. I’m respectfully asking that everybody stays polite & courteous at all times. Every member of M4carbine should feel that they can post freely without being attacked for their opinion. This is one of my pet peeves with other Internet forums.
I'm sure we will be re-hashing many topics on M4carbine that have been discussed to death on other forums. I'm also sure we will have the occasional heated differences of opinion. The difference is that ours will be handled differently. How many multiple page threads have you read on "Other" forums were nobody seems to know what they are talking about? Or even been within ten miles of the product being discussed? It seems like a waste of bandwidth to me, and a good way to walk off with bad information. That is not going to happen on M4carbine.
Thank you, and let's get back to the conversation now.

Hopefully it's still worth a try. Maybe they'll eventually decide something like that would sell.Originally Posted by M4arc
We can hope, and we can ask.
If it was do-able, LaRue would have already done it. I was told by LaRue that it is not going to happen.
I'm not doubting your comments WRT LaRue.Originally Posted by nickdrak
My earlier comments were referencing my hopes that EOTech will listen to the civilian market and give us a 553 variation (something 123-powered) without the ARMS mounts... maybe even something lower profile that will work with our LaRue EOTech risers.
I've been touching base with them every few weeks since SHOT and the order placed then. Unfortunately it looks like the 553 is indefinitely delayed, at least that was the info I got the last time I talked to them.
Of course I've read rumors everywhere...about color, availability, and such. What I've been told from Eotech is Coyote only at this time, no LaRue mounts, the ARMS mounts were govt. spec.
A CR123 512 or 552, (maybe the 514 and 554? ) would be great and hopefully that is down the road, simply for battery commonality across platforms.
