Aimpoint Comp M4 $499OTD

Does this fall under false advertising....

And when were they sold to the country of Jordan?

The rep did not know. According to him these m4 s were ordered directly from aimpoint sweden and never went thru the US distributor. Maybe botach can answer this? These may be unopened products but the rep explained to me that since they were sold to an initial user and then resold, Aimpoint would consider these used items.

The products are factually nib. Legally, and under business convention, they are second hand by virtue of havin been sold to an ultimate end user.

The original assertion was that these were bought by the jordanians and then stored away without using them. If they took some out to test and play with, then those would not be factually new.

However, if you bought it and stored it in the box then sold it later, that is nib, at least the same way we use it here, even on this forum, no?

[Notorious]

Well, a gun and a car in that same situation certainly would not be sold the same way. Right?

The car would be listed as showroom condition, like new, etc.

The gun would be listed as nib.

Conventions for their respective markets dictate what you do when you are the seller.

Hey guys -

Aimpoint has yet to respond to our numerous inquiries about the warranty issue. While it could be disconcerning how long the Jordanians had these for, keep in mind that we don't even know how long these sit in Aimpoint's warehouse prior to initial shipment. It's not like a carton of milk where there's an expiration date. One thing is for certain, if these were used in any way then we would not have purchased them. None of these sights are preused and if yours shows up with a dead battery, just let us know and we'll replace the battery.

At the end of the day, you need to spend your hard earned money where you feel most comfortable. It's unfortunate that this situation has happened. Just keep in mind that while there may be discussions and questions surrounding the way we operate, the one thing that has never been questioned is the integrity of our items. We only sell top quality, brand new merchandise and we like any company with any item they sell, if they're defective we'll take care of it, per our return policy.

Best Regards,
Mike

Just ordered a couple of the Aimpoint 3X Mag's from them... I'd like to get an M4 or two also... That is a $499 one!

I ordered two of the 3X Mag's @ 3 am on Wed. morning the 24th. of Aug... I got them on the afternoon of the Aug. 25th! I got 'em 36 hours after I ordered them! I think they personally drove them up to me & put 'em on my porch!!! Bill

FYI:

Just got a follow up email from AP on the warranty question on the $499 M4 s. They are not covered under warranty. Text of email:


Aimpoint policy is as follows:

Aimpoint guarantees its products to be free from original manufacturer defects in material and/or workmanship under normal use for a period of 2 years for professional or competition use and 10 years for personal use from the date of purchase.

Personal use shall mean: use of the sight in a way that implies less exposure than professional use.

Professional or frequent competition use shall mean: daily or highly frequent use of the sight in professional activities (military or law enforcement) or under conditions that could be compared to as professional.

The warranty is valid provided that the sight has not been misused,disassembled or tampered with in any way. Any attempt to disassemble or repair the product will void the warranty.

The warranty agreement is limited to the original owner and is not transferable.

Any warranty claim must be accompanied by a copy of the original receipt showing date of purchase.

Botach Tactical used to be an Aimpoint dealer but no longer is. The Comp M4 optic they are selling was not purchased directly from Aimpoint and therefore would not be covered under Aimpoint warranty.

That sux. Anyone heard of an aimpoint breaking though?

[HK Dave]

Sure I've heard of aimpoints breaking... but I've only broken an Eotech myself.
