Grab the serial number and give Trijicon a call and see if they can verify. |

Looks legit. Older model, so it is likely that the tritium will be useless or nearly so.

Do you have it so you can look through it? If so, at the bottom of the glass there should be an etching telling you what round it's calibrated for. My TA31F says "4X 223F"

Don't have it on hand. He said he's going to call NCIS tomorrow and get back to me. I'm losing hope. Either it doesn't have a serial number or it was removed and painted over. Either way, not legit and I'll pass. The price was 250, should have known

That's a pretty good job if they covered the SN on a stolen unit. Ask him to take some acetone to that area and see if it rubs paint off and reveals whats underneath. Either way, fake or stolen, thats a good pass. |

I sent it back to Trijicon, and they said it was fine and sent back. As for the serial number, on all of mine, they are pretty visible and easy to find,, so as everyone has said, if you can't see the numbers, the sight either is fake or someone is purposely trying to hide something |

First time I used an ACOG, I thought the same thing as you, in effect - tritium must be old.. so I complained to my armorer about it, and got a lecture instead. That night @ 0200 local, I took it out to look through it and sure enough - the chevron was quite visible. What amazed me most though, was the quality of light transmission through an ACOG at night. Having looked through a number of standard scopes at night over the previous years, I was shocked at how well the ACOG worked by comparison. |

I have seen many replica ACOGS over the years and none ever came close to the real deal.
The one above does look legit (I don't remember ever seeing the NSN in metal relief on the fakes) however it's been to say the least tampered with for whatever reason. ETA: I stand corrected. Researched. Seems there was an older replica that had raised lettering just like that one. However, like the one pictured above, no serial and NO forge marks towards the front. It is old. But a replica. Nice try, whomever tried. |

Well I got that clone fever. Slowly and I mean a part a month putting together a mk12. Started looking at my carbine and thought to my self a few tweaks and I could have a m4 clone. Ordered a M&A car stock and put the stock grip and trigger guard back on.
Need a M4 RAS tho anyone got one? |

Kind of re-did my tribute to 13 Hours (the movie) with more correct parts. Basically, it's entirely correct (to the movie M4s) now, having added a Eotech 512 (got here on the EE).

Thanks man. It's a contour HD mounted on the side of an ACH helmet. I had one in Afghanistan. Microphone blew out when I popped my cherry. Had a SAW 3 feet to my left and a 240b 3 feet to my right. Contour drop shipped me a new one to Afghan free of charge before I even was able to mail the bad one in. Great company. If I ever need a helmet cam again they will get my business. How did you end up mounting it? Best way I came up with was 100mph tape and zip ties around the helmet band. |

Man that is slick... I returned all but one of my eotechs (xps-2 for my mp5) to include my two 512s... Was tired of sending them back for reticle fading... That being said, damn it if a 512 doesn't look right at home on a 1.5 build...

Are any UID barcode stickers still available? I saw some posts from last year, but I wasn't sure who was making or selling them.
