    Watch Out for the FAKE Aimpoint CompM4 M68!

    While I was considering a trade offer from a fellow CG'er, I stumbled across this FAKE replica, bearing the Aimpoint name and looking exactly like the original. Heres the link:



    I'm not saying the CG'er was offering a fake, I'm just sharing with everyone to be aware that they are out there, and to be sure it's Authentic if you're taking one on a trade.

            Logic should tell me what? That someone might try to pass it off as an $800 authentic sight in a trade??? Logic would be comprehending the OP. To avoid embarrassing yourself, read the OP 3 times before commenting. I clearly was creating awareness.

              One should always see if something's authentic ahead of time... clones/fakes/replicas are nothing new.

                  the Aimpoint logo & killflash are dead giveaways that those are clones. Granted they look similar.

                    First, the $50 pricetag from hongkong should tell you it's suspicious.

                    Second, the item listing is for a comp m4 "style" optic.

                    Third, the description lists in the first bullet point "1:1 replica of aimpoint comp m4 sight"

                    They aren't trying to pass this off as a real aimpoint. They're selling it for the people too cheap to care, or people that would be mounting it to airsoft guns or whatever. At any given time there are dozens, probably hundreds of fake optics on ebay that are just as obvious as this one. The problem is when sellers don't mark them as replicas and actually pretend it's a legit item.

                      Guys, the OP is saying someone could buy it for $50 and try to pass it off as real. So, pay attention.

                      I import stuff from China and a supplier sent me an advertisement for the stuff they sell. Eotech knockoffs with L3 logo and everything on them. $53.

                      The bottom line is this stuff is out there.
