Larue Knock offs at Tanner

[Gunoholic]

Well, I've often heard about people getting screwed over at gun shows. Unfortunately it happened to me last weekend at the Loveland Tanner gun show. I asked the vender to see his larue mounts. He had three well used looking Larue lt110 mounts. I let him know how I see used "like new" lt-110's for sale online sometimes for $75. Due to their well used condition, he accepted $50.

After mounting it on my ar I noticed my red dot sat way left of my front sight post...weird.. and then I noticed how the whole mount shifts forward and back.

After doing some "knock off" research. I know the one i was sold is definately a knock off. I called the vendor and he said he has no reason to believe they are knock offs. He asked if I'd come to the Denver show this weekend and we'll work something out. I want a full refund, but I'm not sure what to expect.

Let the $50 go and forget about it??
Go get whatever refund I can??

Just thought Id get some of your thoughts on my situation..thanks

If he sold you a knock off, he probably knew about and went and bought the crap from a chinese shop online, or, well, it's an airsoft part. Either way, I'm going with he knew about it and is just trying to get out of it. Get your money back and tell him to knock his shit off or you will turn his ass in.

That sucks, it'd be nice if there was more quality control at gun shows to keep the knock off crap out or at least clearly marked.

I have heard LT will replace the knock off with a real one. Call customer service and
explain the situation, may be able to help you out.

Assuming that there are LaRue markings on it.

First thing: Call Mark (512-259-1585) and tell him that you accidentally bought a knock off and that you wanted to make him aware that this guy is selling illegal "LaRue" stuff.

Mark will go off the handle, he may swear at you a bit - but get him to understand that you aren't asking him to fix it, but that you wanted to let him know that this guy is infringing on his copyright. Give him the contact info for the guy that sold the stuff to you.

Mark (or one of his minions) will handle the fun stuff from there.

Go down and get your money back plus the entrance fee to the show.

That's exactly what I'd do, I hate that kind of crap, fricken low life scum being leaches is all it is and that's exactly what they deserve.

When you get your money back, take a picture of the vendor/sign and post it here. Perhaps we can get a sticky with a list & photos of GS vendors to aviod?
