So I just purchased an Aimpoint PRO from my LGS. I was doing some looking around on Ebay and found a dude selling Aimpoint Comp M4's used for $430 each. That is the same price I payed for my Aimpoint PRO! The guy claims they are legit and everything. How likely is it that this guy is selling Chinese fakes vs the real deal and how on earth could I know for sure? Does $430 sound to good to be true for a used Aimpoint Comp M4?

BUMP I would much rather have the COMP M4 over my PRO, but only if I know I am not getting some chink replica trash.

ask him for a picture of the writing on it, surely there is some genuine-ness verification sticker or something.

oh and does the item ship from China?
Don't buy anything that ships from not-America.

If you buy a fake from China you would have to travel to China and burn his house down to get your money's worth back.
'Merica probably has some kind of accountability for this type of thing.

OP here, this is the Aimpoint Comp M4 in question.

It's probably legitimate.
Also in the pictures he shows two different sights with different serial numbers, Chinkshit probably doesn't even change the serial numbers they slap on them.

and if I had to guess he's getting them off police department M4s or military who get them at a discount to start with.
>LEO/Mil discount + used = profit at $430

Do you really want pic related knocking on your door and confiscating it, OP? They subpoena eBay and PayPal records now.

If I bought it I would run the serial threw Aimpoints website to be sure kek
I bought mine used at my local lgs for $500 so the price range isn't impossible. Also mine was in new condition but was missing the reflection hider whatever the fuck it's called thingy.

Do you really think the FBI wastes their time trying to recover red dots from people's homes? IPhone owners use GPS to locate their stolen phones in the homes of their thieves all the time, but police don't even have a protocol for recovering them
