I purchased a pen flare launcher at a gunshow a few years ago.


It has a Navsea serial # on it, and was in it's original packing with the tray of flare cartridges.

Anyone else have one of these?

After reading the "CID picked up my aimpoint today" thread, I am wondering if this could be stolen...either that or it is a factory overproduction.

It may or may not be stolen, but an Aimpoint is serialized gear.  That means someone took a kick in the nuts because the armory counts weren't up.  

I only had a pen flare in Iraq, and I never had to turn it back in.  I just gave it to the unit we RIPed with.

I don't think they are considered serialized gear, but I may be wrong.

You also might want to send your dogs to live at a safe house until this blows over.

Maybe I am just being paranoid.


They were in factory condition, still sealed.

It is the exact same as the one on that page with the clear ziplock baggie and the red tray of flare cartridges.

Edited the title.

I am definately not the first to have a private MK31, it looks like they are somewhat common.

I got it for $30 dollars.


The guy I bought it from used to work for Ohio Ordnance Works.

Probably worth 30-100 dollars.

If it was DRMO/Surplus/factory overrun, it was probably cheap for the guy who sold it to me.

I found one of those loaded with tear gas when I was a kid and blew the fuck out of my hand.  Didn't have any idea what it was and then BANG!!!

Either the same thing or similar to what we used to try to set wooden dhows on fire in the Persian Gulf and off the Horn of Africa.
