nordwind Posted May 28, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2013 Hello, I have recently purchased this eotech sight, it was sold as a genuine proctuct from the brand. Howerver after making some researches on internet, I am starting to have huge doubt about the authenticity of this sight. The luminous point is a circle with 3 aligned dots. Could you help me to find out it this in an original eotech sight or a clone? Here are some pictures: Thanks Nordwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfireguy Posted May 28, 2013 Share #3 Posted May 28, 2013 Did you go check at the Eotech website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordwind Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted May 28, 2013 Hello Thanks for the advices. But, what do you mean by soft? I have squeeze one and it changes it shape, so I think it's soft and a fake eotech. I am going to look at there web site if I ca find anything about the copies.

TrevorR Posted May 28, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 28, 2013 A real Eotech buttons for the brightness will be a bit harder, and the Clone buttons when pressed will be like pressing the buttons on a TV remote, they are very squishy. I just purchased a Eotech Clone on Amazon the other day for my AR-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfireguy Posted May 28, 2013 Share #9 Posted May 28, 2013 I have an EoTech on it's second tour to Afghanistan and besides some bumps and nicks it works like a champ. In fact it should be back home in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
