Recognizing a FAKE Aimpoint 3X Magnifier

[recshooter]

interesting...

I wondered what happened with this thread (if this is indeed the follow-up)

Strong detective work jtv.

hmm, there are 2 pics for the GT 3x magnifier.. the 2nd pic looks like this one here made by Mako for $99.

There are tons of clones. Some have real logos and boxes that are labeled and packaged like real Aimpoints.

So how did this turn out.

LVTM: go back one page for the info and results. The vendor is SOG Armory. Thanks to the OP for bringing this to CG; I will never buy from them, although I have looked at their stuff before.

You must be talking about Jim?? He used to have Mick strider of strider knives and another dude with long hair running with em.The long hair guy was a spec ops character but not sure about jim.His prices are on the moon and all his stuff is reworked.

It is nice to read your info but without the name of the supplier how can your information be useful. How can Aimpoint weed out the bad supplier if you don't give them any information? If they were dishonest the first time do you think that the owner will do justice for you? I hope that you will get half of the money after sending the fake one or you might lost both. The best resolution is the custom department incharge of prosecuting illegal merchandise or fake items. Aimpoint has no teeth to bite those dealers engage of selling fake or clone products.

SOG ARMORY

JTV3062 thanks for posting my ARFCOM update a long while back.
YES, SOG ARMORY refunded me $250 signed by Mark.
I just visited SOG's website and I could not find any FAKE Points for sale.
Perhaps they learned a valuable lesson, from my pocketbook. But I don't know what they may be peddling at gun shows. By the way the salesman at the gunshow was white male, 45-50 y.o., 6 ft, 190 lbs, bald on top, med. brown hair, blue eyes, wearing a SOG shirt (red?)
I would never trust them again!

Thanks to all that have supported me, and boycotting Sog Armory over this.
