I found it as well, sounds like: [BS2]

It is BS

Hakko made airsoft knockoffs.

Hm, it could be that they sell Trijicon ACOGs, not necessarily manufacture them.  All of mine say Made in the USA, maybe you bought yours from Botach, hehe [:d]

Those are fake ACOGS that the crooks over there like to copy do to anything they can get thier grubby little hands on. They are about as honest as Sadam.

Well, just don't shoot the messenger.  That is the only info I have seen on that.  If the ACOG is made in the US, where?  I wonder if this could be one of the old, parts assembly here, but they came from somewhere else, or visa versa?

Ever try reading their web page? Thats what it is there for, information about their company.

Seems they have just doubled the size of their manufacturing plant to keep up with the demand.




And when you are finished reading about how the ACOG's are made in the USA, try out the cool BAC flash demo : [url]www.trijicon-inc.com/aiming.html[/url]

I know a waiter in Florida that would be perfect for that job...

It was posted on Monster.com about a month ago.

All these responsibilities, skills requirement and god awful hours, and only $35K a year?  For what they charge they could at least pay their people better.

I thought that was bad until I saw the add for a QC Manager listing the pay as $55,000.

That BAC flash presentation is the worst thing I have ever seen.  It it no way explains how BAC works.  It does not even show it working like an OEG or have the magnified view as a shodowy see through type of thing or anything.  It just made BAC look like total BS IMO.

Employee discounts???

[:D]

If a supervisor with a BS degree is making only 35K there, imagine what the ho-hum line assembler is making...

Maybe I'm jaded from living in PRK, but I unfortunately am now imagining Trijicon having a hoard of non-English speaking workers who have no idea wtf they are making, just timecard punching human robots...  [V]I hope I am wrong.

I worked with a guy that does CNC machining and setups. He was offered $15.50/hr, which I think is right for his experience level. I have to admit, $35 is stertching it pretty thin for a management position. There would be a whole lot of hourly guys under him making more than that with overtime....
