cfortune 1 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=164016322 ?? New in box ACOG for only 180? Could this be a counterfeit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) read the description, " It is built by high end optic factory in China" and the auction descrption "TRIJICON ACOG style scope". so yes, it's knock off. the guy is not trying to pull off anything. or claim it's a real ACOG.

cfortune 1 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 That word "style" is key eh.. My bad for the crappy post lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mollysman420 19 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 It is an alright scope, but not an Acog. The clarity in the scope is great but no Tritium!! You can get them cheaper too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Want an ACOG? Get the real deal. A copy is like putting a fart can and a wing on a Honda Civic. It's still a Civic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's still a Civic. some folks can't afford to plunk down more then what a AR cost for one. in the civilian shooting community a real ACOG won't even see 1/1,000,000,000,000 of the abuse that it normally would be expected by soliers in combat. in the civilan shooting community, it's all about the "kewl factor" and this knock off has that, right down to the markings, at a fraction of the cost.

PinkFloyd 63 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Google: Ebaybanned, Your eyes will spin. Airsoft junk. I'm an avid airsofter and have a couple optics from them. Their EOTech fakes are terrible, so much glare you cant see in the day but they look good at gun shows. I feel sorry for anyone duped into buying a fake EOTech of FACOG for their gun.

Twinsen 86 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Chinese optics are great. I sure love mine. Nice pot metal screw stripped with almost no torque, had to pry it off my gun. Then I hit it with a hammer a few times for good measure. Took it to the next gun show, the second the guy saw me walk over to his table with the box in my hand he replaced it. I didn't say a word, he knew, because he knows he's selling horrible shit and doesn't want me hanging around complaining in front of potential customers he can rip off. When he opened the box, he got angry, but I was already walking away and laughing. "Ahh, haha, sir! Excuse me, sir! Haha, sir! Please, come back sir. Haha, sir. Ah ha ha, haha sir!" China good are number 1, a-ok, 100%! You buy you is very happy you is buy our red dots. Haha, you very happy. Very good deal. I make you offer? You buy scope? Very good quality, you happy. Buy scope now, please. Like the awl? It's how I pried the mount away from the rail to get he screwdriver in there. Haha, I very happy. I glad I buy China scope! Number 1!

cfortune 1 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I bought a sightmark reflex sight like the one you posted. Got it onto my gun and it was shooting low. So I went to adjust the elevation screw and it snaps right off. I mailed the thing in a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything back. Awesome story BTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PinkFloyd 63 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Lol... see what I'm talking about? I sure as hell wouldn't pay 180$ for that junk... like I said, airsoft crap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
