Are these legitimate Knight's gear? Are they more than likely stolen? They are marked USMC on the base of the sight.

Thats what I figured. Damn.

The USMC has bought aprox 250,000 of their version on the Micro 2-600m Sight

Unfortunately some are being diverted from the troops who need them.

I bought a Grip Pod on eBay that turned out to be stolen. I got contacted by some NCIS folks who worked out the details of getting it back. I can put you in contact with someone in GA with NCIS. He gave me his contact info so if I ever had a question about any item being "hot" to call and ask him. PM me if you need that info.

200-600 meter KAC Micro sights for the USMC? I thought the Marines shoot in yards not meters.

There is an eBay seller who has been listing these USMC marked sights once every week for the past four weeks now.

How many Gibbs and DiNozzo jokes do you think those NCIS guys get every day?

I won an auction for one but didn't want to pay until I hears if they were legit/ stolen. I didn't pay. Will be forwarding his info to NCIS

Is that why I got a piece of paper on my weapon where the rear sight should be marked KAC USMC?

Those sneaky bastards...




Glad to see someone take initiative.

Found another one.

Here is a guy who has 15 USMC marked micro sights for sale on eBay:

Are they really stealing them by the handful? Lol

I would recommend going VFR direct to NCISthat is who would have to handle it for the Marine Corps or the Navy for things of this nature.

It seems like the vast majority of sellers probably don't in fact know what they're buying isn't kosher. Other than someone asking, "hey what are these?" and Trey educating folks that they're unique to the USMC, 99.9 percent of civilians wouldn't have had a clue. Please don't mistake this as defending selling SGP, because that's not cool, just that we live in a world with ebay, craigslist, etc and some of these sellers may have stumbled on to something by accident. So the question is how do you stem this stuff from being fenced by mil-personal to begin with, before it ends up in the hands of an un-suspecting CIV who doesn't know (and thus isn't thrown under the NCIS bus in the process)?

I know from just visting the surplus stores up near Ft. Lewis that there's some really weird and random parts, gear, pouches, that end up in the bins. Some of it looks like it was dropped off from the armorers, some from soldiers coming back from deployment trying to make a few bucks. When you see shit like BE Meyers target pointers thrown in with the occasional Scout light you're like, "uhhh...time to walk away slowly and get back in the car."

So for all that guy you contacted knows he really had no idea, and him trying to trace back the origin helps companies like KAC, NCIS, etc since they can stem where the parts are bleeding out from. Anyways, just my .2 cents.
