Nobody was able to see my post so I'm sorta reposting this...

Folks... I got a used Aimpoint Compc3 from Ebay.
The red dot was as it was no box or manual.
I just received it today and wanted to make sure this is legit.
Here is the link to the listing:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aimpoint-11421-CompC3-2-MOA-Red-Dot-Sight-With-Flip-Ups-And-Mount-/271869477329?nma=true&si=CqV%252BdwifQkptj3mRVUNDbf5FPbs%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

A few things I noticed:
1. the lense covers were not aimpoint but butlercreek.
2. adjustment knobs were a little different than it shows on the youtube video.
Instead of UP and R for elevation and windage it is UP-L and UP-R for elevation and windage as shown in pics
And they are clearly different than the ones in the video...

3. The serial # begins with a 'W'
4. Also, I'm assuming the yellowish resin looking thing inside the scope is normal?

I've never had a red dot before and the red dots are blurrier than I thought.
Please help me out.

Update:
After hitting the range, the red dot seems legit but still can't tell since it's my very first..
I hate the sheet metal around the adjustment knob. Id say the dot is really more like 2.5 MOA.
Indeed, it was free of parallax.
One thing to mention, I didn't know how tight I shouldve tightened the mount but the thing came loose once...

Email Aimpoint with the serial number.  They can tell you for sure.

Yeah you can see that this is a repost and I originally posted in that section days ago.
Unfortunately, nobody saw it since its 12 pages long..,,
