I found a add online (not the EE) for a Comp M2. After looking at the pics I got to wondering if this thing is a fake because of the laser engraved "Aimpoint" on the side. What say ARFCOM?
UPDATE Asking price was $200, I offered $100 (about a hour drive away), he countered with $150. Should I hold out for less or should I just get it for $150? I've been wanting a used M600 Scout Light, maybe this would be a good trade item on the EE? |

can't tell from the pics for sure but it looks real enough.
fake/clone aimpoints have italicized font for the lettering in "Aimpoint", look at the switch and if it has a white dot instead of a white line then it's definitely a fake. also if you have it in hand then rotate the on/off/brightness knob and if it rotatates around and around then it's fake, if it stops and requires you rotate the opposite direction to get back to the off position then it's real. |
