I just saw this :

http://cgi.ebay.com/L3-EOTech-Decal-Logo-D...1QQcmdZViewItem

Man i own a real Eotech (3 in fact) and the only thing that made it different from the fakes were the markings, now with the above the fakes can look real ?

Then again its not the same sticker and real Eotechs have them water transfered so i guess its sort of ok

[Crimson]

here is an example :

and
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-EOTech-552-CLONE-F...1QQcmdZViewItem

Whats insane is that it has the same red dot moa as the real Eotech its not the same as the cheepsoft ones

And the fact that a real eotech is going to work a ton better.

Chinese EoTechs have had these markings for months.

Watch the video, its completely different from the china ones

I was unaware that the chinese ones actually had "Eotech l3" on both sides

lol your right

Watch the video and look at the MOA dot and brightness tell me if thats the same as the china ones

[millest]

apparently so according to a mate who got one for xmas but not sure where his came from i think it might have been ebaybanned.com who has pics on the front page of them and iirc they are the same. also rsov have them here: http://www.rsov.com/product_info.php?cPath...roducts_id=1297

Yes.

It's identical to the chinese ones.
Dunno if you'v actually seen a replica EoTech before. They don't just produce a red dot. They produce an EoTech-style circle with a dot in the centre.

TBH, I'm rather cynical about that seller.
He has a $50 item for sale for over $150 and his description of it is, frankly, utter b*llocks. He's calling it an EoTech all the way through and stating that it has all the features a real one has then, at the bottom, he writes "Not made by EoTech. Made by SF design" or whatever.

I'm not sure if the EoTech trades are on the clones TBH. I know the warning text is. I suspect the guy has had a bunch of EoTech stickers made up and is sticking them on chinese clones.

Would look nice on a MC dipped scope though.

yeh i have a china one right here next to me i was going to paint in multicam, its not the same the dot with the circle yes but its small like half the size of a real eotech and the brightness does not goe as bright as the real thing, however this e bay guy has a china replica with a large dot and its very bright not like my fake one here

His clones with the "L3-EOTech" trades on are NOT done with this sticker kit, I asked him. According to him, he had them "custom etched". The sticker kit will obviously look nothing like real trades, as the border around the letters would be quite shiny and stand out on the matte EOTech's surface.

[DesertFoxRomel]

wow, for the sticker kit, it cost $20 dollars shipped for three stickers. Not the whole sheet like in the pics. $20 for stickers.... Any kindergardener would tell you thats a rip off

He says a lot of things.

He says it's water resistant, shock & recoil proof and compatible with NVGs.

It's water resistant, to some extent, it's shock-proof only to a point where it falls to bits and it's compatible with NVGs in the same way that a sprout is.
None of this is an outright lie but it's grossly misleading.

That doesn't inspire confidence in anything else the guy has to say.

[Pariah_WP]

Is it wrong that I want to buy these and stick them on my REAL AIMPOINT (Yup...you read that right) to make people laugh? Yeah, I knew it was. I shouldn't have even asked...

Uh... what?

Did you make that post just to inform us that you have a real aimpoint?

Welcome to the internet.

[SlappyBag]

I just ordered a Chinese EOTech replica which I'm looking forward to, maybe I'll look into some of these too - not that I'm one for real markings - cheap an cheerful is my route.

[vbtb110]

AFAIK the clones only have "For Law Enforcement / Miltary Use Only" or whatever on both sides. It would be nice to have access to China EOTechs with proper trades, but I don't think I would want them from this guy

EDIT: Oh and I almost forgot, this kind of this kind of thing can be done for about $2 by taking a trip to your local hobby store and picking up a sheet of decals...

Rofl, this is most definitely one of the lamest things i have ever seen in my lifetime of airsoft.
