If anyone could manage to break an ACOG, it would be you.

Most likely an IED. Yeah, a couple buddies of mine that are vets were giving me shit about it. Somehow I am capable of breaking a ACOG while they go to war and the ones they saw and used never broke. They said that the ACOG was surprisingly tough....until I got one apparently. I cannot contact trijcon.... I am unsure of the history on this ACOG since it was gifted to me, so I am going to deal with it how it is. But.... will say this... My TA01 did call my TA31f a bitch since they both fell and the TA31f was the only damaged ACOG ha |

I have a TA31RCO That became "frosted" on the inside. It wouldn't hold zero, so I sent it in and Trjicon said it was a lok-tite failure. It hadn't really been abused, but I had it probably 8 years. They fixed it, no new H3 though.

If it's missing/stolen from the mil it will show it. If it isn't stolen when they run the number you are fine. Worst that happens is they take the broken optic from you and do a report. You aren't getting locked up if you go to them (local cops....regardless of what GD says). Just might have to rat on your friend if CID comes and asks you how you got it.....IF stolen. ETA- the last thing you want now is someone coming to you first now that you put this info online about not wanting to poke around where it came from. What you just admitted to in a public forum is that it may be stolen and you are in possession of it and possibly unwilling to get it checked out.......go to the local PD with it tomorrow and just get them to run it. |

Im not sure if you just don't know what your talking about or if you are joking. NCIC will show a stolen or missing ACOG if the S/N was entered. Being a cop for 10yrs we recovered several stolen items from the military that hit on the NCIC system. One being a suppressor. There is a "list" as long as the item is entered in it. Wow. NCIC is the nationwide system used by Federal,state, and local police for sharing info on wanted persons, stolen items, and other sensitive info. Every agency (MIL CID included) has the ability to enter items into the system in case a stolen item pops up in Kalamzoo And is ran by the local dirt road deputy. It even shows INTERPOL info and terrorist watch list info as long as it is entered in the domestic (US) system. |
