i recently found a surefire warcomp on sale online for $100. when i got it it looked legit and had everything correct in the package, however i noticed that all pictures of it have surefire markings around the base and mine does not. did surefire change their markings? or did i get a fake? any insight would be appreciated.

I think there should be a small step in the diameter about 1/3 of the way through the ports on the threaded end... Any wrench flats on it? Post up a pic of the other side.
It is at the very least very odd that it has no markings. There seem to be serceral veriations in hole spacing and flat/no flats. This is as close to yours as I could find.  Attached File |

no wrench flats, however i know surefire did switch over to a sliver tool that slips between the prongs to torque it down, so not all have wrench flats. mine came with the tool. =/

What's the tool look like in comparison to the one Surefire provided with known good ones? I'd think something like that wouldn't be as high priority to make look exactly correct.

I just got a Surefire Warcomp as well from Optics Planet for ~$122. Mine came with markings on the device that say:
WARCOMP - 556 - 1/2 -28 SUREFIRE LLC In the package, it came with the same wrench that you posted a picture of, a packet of shims with different colored markings on each one, and an instruction manual. Have you tried contacting Surefire? |

My guess would be it got missed when time came in its production to get the laser treatment to mark it SF.

nope, not yet, was worried if it was fake, the possibility of its dimensions being off and a bullet zinging it coming out.

I think if it doesn't have markings it's probably fake. All mine are marked and even ones recently bought have the flats.
