Chinesium knock-off ACOGs

cheehoo · 11-24-2021, 10:54 AM

Who has experience with the Pinty / various clones with weird-Amazon-brand-name ACOGs? I have Trijicon tastes but a Big Lots budget. Wondering if any of these are acceptable and if they last more than a couple of years.

I have often wondered that but don't want to risk wasting my money.

If your FACOG needs fixin’ do this like Mojo Nixon.

The mount can be flipped like real estate or whipped like Devo.

I clicked those links expecting a Dead Milkmen video, but was happily surpised.

Good information. Thank you.

Ditto. Don't want chink shit on anything I have not to mention every penny spent on said chink shit goes towards funding the Chicoms.

The cheapest optic I could justify in my mind was the South Korean DI Optic. It actually pretty nice on the pistol upper. Only complaint was they didn't factory Loctite the mount to the optic.

Why would anyone risk buying a shit chink knockoff ACOG ....that isn't even waterproof or have the tritium insert? All my ACOGS are from Gi's coming home from the sandbox and are in nearly pristine condition. Used good. Weeks ago there was a retailer selling NIB, gov surplus ACOGs all with the Bible verse....for $850. With free shipping. They sold quickly.

It is difficult to understand why a popgun....that is perfect for social work...LACKS glass that is combat tested by the best light infantry in the world today.

How much is your ass worth? The price of a cheap chink ersatz copy of an ACOG....suitable for cosplay?

Or....

The real thing. Combat tested and grunt approved.

NEVER......go cheap on your gear.
