| I was looking to buy a vintage (what other kind are there?) Colt scope for my 604 clone. I was directed to a seller who had several NIB, described as 4x21 (no photos). I was assuming a typo, but found that there is a 4x21 and made in Japan. The one I was seeking was a 4x20 made in USA. When did the 4x21 scopes come out? They have an additional adjustment knob on side. I do not think this is what I want. |

There are a lot of 'clones" and look-alikes out there––mostly Chinese and mostly crap.
The only US-made "Colt" scope was the early 3x. Later 3x units and the 4x unit (4x20, not 4x21) were made in Japan. None of them are truly a great optic, but if you want something "original", you need to be sure what you're looking for. A good starting point is retro black rifle. |
