Killflash and rubber strap for the aimpoint $17.99 + $2 s/h + $1 ins?

There is someone selling them on ebay for this much. I want one if for any reason the strap.

I'd say so, I payed more just for the Killflash.

sounds like a good deal since just a killflash normally runs about $30

Thanks for the info, TNRonin. I just bought one. I also needed a strap. Just got one of those Comp M's off the EE and it need one. I could install the ARD in my Comp M2. Decent deal.

Glad you found it, I didn't want to post a link to the auction. I got one myself. Thought it wasn't too bad.

I got one too. Thanks for the info.

Hmmm smells like AIR SOFT! The price you paid for both items is BELOW dealer cost on just the KillFlash! Remember, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is!

Does the kill flash have threads? what strap? If no threads it is probably the type that goes on a specific objective lens size. they are less expensive so that would explain the lower price. The kill flash for the ACOG has a rubber strap as it is held on with that. Speaking of which I need one for my ACOG. Also it took a while for me to get used to the kill flash on my Aimpoint.

P.S. is this it? cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31714&item=3674400341&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVWZ

Can't get the silly board code to work

If so that is the right one and it is a deal as I payed almost 28.00 for mine

Hmmm. Well, this is my first Ebay purchase. If I get shafted for $20 it'll be a cheap lesson!

And I normally do try to spread the wealth to the arfcom dealers - so far I've bought from gandrtactical, MSTN, dennysguns, SMGLee, GTS, Adrenaline Arms, and I can't remember who else.

Here are the pics from ebay.

And here is the text:

Looks like airsoft is even coping the labeling eh?

Even went as far as putting the military National Stock Number (NSN) on the package

Those are it. So for that price they either fell off the back of a truck or someone lost their ass on them!

Welp, he had 90 or so on the auction.

[#14]

Make that 89.

Thanks for the heads up!

If you pay more than the $2 you are using a different guy. I'm a cheapskate and when I saw them both, I whipped out the calculator and found the cheaper cost. That auction has since expired. But it's all good.

Is it a good deal? You betcha! Got it in the mail today. It is the "ARD Filter Rubber Strap Modification Kit, Fire Control Equipment.

Everything went on as promised.

Looks like you got the last good buy from that guy. He seems to agree that $20 isn't enough...

Not the same guy. I have an email to him asking if he has more to sell.

I got one of the $17.99 and it appears to be the real deal. Strap has "Aimpoint" on it and the ARD fit in my M2 perfectly. The Comp M I bought on the EE didn't have a strap, but it does now!
