Does anyone know who manufactured the Colt scopes?  Thanks in advance, John

(Interested in 2X or 3X scope is small size.)

Realist made them back then, now I think it's C-More.

Hakko in Japan made the original Colt scopes.  They are still available, but getting them is difficult.  I spoke with the reps at the SHOT show and then e-mailed them in Japan to see about getting one (the 4x).  They have no dealers in the U.S. and want payment in advance ($395), will ship in about 120 days. I got an Eotech 552 instead.  If you want the contact in Japan at Hakko, let me know and I'll send you his e-mail address. See e-mail reply below:

Dear Mr. xxxx,

Sorry for long silence.
We now quote as follows:
1)  COF-4211 ER, 4x21 Flat Top Mount, Illuminating ER reticle
2)  Price: $395.00 per piece delivered by air parcel post
3)  Delivery: Approx. 120 days after payment

Sincerely,

Yoshi Hikima

Tasco made some too. C-more don't make them anymore for Colt.
