Maybe it's just me but that micro does not look real.
Hate to see someone pay $400 for a $40 knock off. http://www.ebay.com/itm/aimpoint-micro-t-1-/320915706439?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab8111247 |

With just one pic i wouldn't trust it. I don't buy any gun stuff off ebay.
|
|
|
^^Yup and the elevation/windage adjustment dials and caps sit a lot higher and the reticle adjustment dial is fatter than real Aimpoint. Definitely a fake and needs to be reported.
|
|
Also on the bottom of the mount lever It does not have the larue symbol or the made in the USA patented so naturally both are fake.

The adjustment dial width hit me the instant I looked at the picture. I have a 4MOA and a 2MOA T1, and neither is nearly that wide. |

This is what and where he bought it from: fakepoint
He bought this item from Seller: bravo2zero-b20 on March 20th for $56 (2nd thing in feedback) He's trying to buy fakepoints and resell them for huge profits >$400. I no longer have an ebay account, can someone please report him for fraud? |

Wow he has sold 5 of them for $210.
He originally had clone in his description but the last 3 or 4 do not state that they are clones. |
|
I think the seller is not allowing the questions and answers about this item show up on his eBay listing either.
What a scum bag. |

I messaged him asking why he was selling a known fake as a genuine Aimpoint, and wishing him the worst of luck in any future sales. His response was :
I am not selling this item as a "genuine" aimpoint. I include all of the specifications to the product under two pictures of the product that clearly show that it is not a "genuine" aimpoint. Also, if anyone had emailed me about the product, i was happy to tell them that it was not a real aimpoint, that is why it has been relisted so many times. I find it humorous that you take the time to go through all of this, and go as far as to hurt my reputation. My business is my business, and if you, or any other consumers do not like the products then DONT BUY THEM. Otherwise buzz off and dont waste my time. Reported him. |

This one does not I'm not saying that is real, but LT only started putting the Texas on the bottom of the levers recently. I have many LT mounts that don't have that, and I've only ever purchased from LT directly. As a matter of fact, none of my LT100, LT150, or LT129 mounts have the Texas on them. My LT660 I recieved a few weeks ago does have it, as well as a newish LT104, but other than that, none of them have it. Again, I'm not saying this one is real, but I don't think that the lack of the Texas on the bottom of the lever is a good indicator. |

DON'T shop on eBay for weapon related shit because you have absolutely NO recourse if & when you get screwed by using PayPal. These shit head eBay sellers know this and that's why they do this for a living. If you want to buy online then buy from reputable internet vendors (other than eBay) and ALWAYS use a real credit card not a debit card or bank card. You can always do a chargeback due to a fraudulent transaction because the product was not as advertized. The customer always gets their money back (rarely the opposite) and the vendor has to prove their case in order to get money back.
eBay is littered with Chine clone shit. You have to become an expert on both the China clone shit and the real deal products in order to identify the difference between them. If saving a few bucks is worth the risk then by all means have at it, but accept the risk and accept it when you get screwed. There are a LOT of topics here that are started after the buyer receives their product, then researches and are told that what they bought was airsoft China shit. Don't be ones of those people. |

This is the item that the person bought off of ebay for $56. I'm pretty sure he's not selling fake aimpoint's with real Larue mounts for $56 dollars. It is fake, just as Sinless has told you. Take a look at this page. Click on the pics. Same item. Same fake mount. link to fullsize ![]() Link to fullsize ![]() |

I reported it too, but E-bay hasn't pulled it. What a surprise
|

What really bothers me is what if the poor guy who buys that POS needs it in a HD situation and finds out the battery is dead after 2 months when he figures he has five years of battery life because he thinks he has the real thing.

The adjustment knob on the eBay item only has 11 settings. The real T1 will have 12 number markings on the dial. The elevation knob sits on top of the clone and recessed on a real T1.
