    new Acog vs old Acog?

    Hello calguns,

    Getting ready to buy my next Acog, but was wondering why the two have different engraving on the side, different version?

    thanks in advance,
    Jeff

    To me it just looks like more stringent "clone protection" by using the Data Matrix code-style to ensure authenticity... can't really make out any other difference.

    ETA: Oh, it may also no longer be endorsed by Jesus. Not sure if that's the civvy market or just the military models...

      Thanks for the help, do you know if the data coded Acog's are the newer version?

        yes, they are - not sure exactly when that went into effect, but those are definitely the newer models.
