What's the deal with "Made in Sweden" on Aimpoints? I understand that CompM2s with it on there are gov't property, but what about the others? I'm wondering if ALL ML3s have it or don't, or if some do, some don't.

as far as I know, all aimpoints are made in Sweden. My PRO is marked "made in Sweden"..

yeah, I was wondering about them actually being marked as such. I'm guess some are and some aren't.

 

I'm quite sure all aimpoints have made in sweden on them

I have a ML3 right in front of me, and no it doesn't have any country of origin. On the lower left side, it sames CompML3 2MOA with the serial under it. On the bottom it has Aimpoint laser etched in. Then on the upper left side, it has Aimpoint engraved in. I have a Larue mount that says "USA" and Made in the USA. Not sure if the supplied ML3 mount has a marking since I didn't get it.

Other than that no markings.

My PRO was defective. i sent to Aimpoint in S.C and they sent it to Sweden. so ya i think they are made in Sweden

Marking products in the USA with "made in ......" is a relatively new requirement by law.

So all new products legally must say made in wherever.  Older products may not have the marking.

My Comp M4S says 'Made in Sweden'

Because it is a Swedish company. Plain and simple.  Your recent aquisition, if new, could be a fake if it does not have a country of origin on it somewhere.

I know it's a Swedish company. I was simply wanting to know which ones may have/may not have it on there.

 

Same with my H1, had an issue mailed it in and they mailed it to Sweden, I never saw a Made in Sweden marking on it, the new one nor the T1, CompM3, CompM4s, CompM2's or other optics but per their customer service they are made their.  I will have 2 PROs and 4 CompM2's coming in tomorrow and will check them also.

I believe all of them are made in Sweden.

Just to make it clear, the OP isn't asking where the Aimpoints are made but rather if certain models of Aimpoints have their country of origin on it. If I pick up an EOTech, the bottom has a sticker that says Made in the USA. The OP is asking whether certain models of the aimpoint has the stamp Made in Sweden or if it's something they just do randomly. It sounds to me like ML3 doesn't have the Made in Sweden stamp on it, but maybe other models might.

Hopefully that'll clear things up for you. Honestly this is probably a question you should ask the company directly. Nobody, except maybe a rep from the company, can really say anything about this. Manufacturers probably change things rapidly without notifying the public on a regular basis. A good example is like a candy bar label. It seems like while most might have similar logos, they all appear to have slightly different markings here and there. I guess the problem is it depends on where it is assembled and by what year. Sometimes they might get a new machine that does something slightly different than what the others did.

LOL thanks man. A lot of folks didn't understand, I think.

 

After purchasing the Aimpoints I also made contact with Aimpoint, from what I was able to identify from them any marked Made in Sweden are Military Issue, I believe this is because they are imported seperately and marked slightly differently than the civilian marketed imports.
