    Got my check in the mail 2 weeks ago and I just bought a new one from grafs for 350 dollars shipped. I really liked the eotech but the one I returned had problems.

    One if the easier way to tell if its a knockoff is the reticle. As weird as it sounds due to it being holographic, if the reticle looks really crisp and sharp its probably a knockoff. The real ones are a little fuzzy and look like a million dots make up the reticle.

    I have a knock off Trijicon ACOG .223 and you can't tell the difference other it does not have the tritium in it other than that works well.

    Easiest way I tell, say for instance the thing wont turn on (dead batteries, etc) is the large screw will bisect the "LEO/mil only print." A fake, the screw will be completely below the print.

    Thanks guys, the screw is below the print, the reticle is very bright and it is a red green reticle, that and no stickers on the bottom tells me it is a clone.

    I got the same thing and I am sure you are NOT a Class Representative. I no I am not...

    Hell I have another EOTech I did not send in. I guess I can keep it and get $50 from them. LOL

    You guys will love this....attempted to submit my RMA request on EOTECH's website and any time I typed the word "refund" or a "$" in the description section, the submit button disappeared! WTF?!?! I just used another word for refund and spelled out dollars instead. Was able to submit. We'll see...

    Sorry to bring up an old thread but I bought another used EOtech at a killer price and gave L3 the serial # and I can't believe they sent me a $50 check today... That made that a very good buy :)

    Oh and they sent a couple of Vouchers of $22.50 each towards something from there site at eotechgear.com.

    It's the Eotech I have on my 10.5" AR

    Here is a pic while cooling off the M4-02 Suppressor. LOL

    I never sent my 512 in for the refund. I'm assuming it's too late? Meant to do it but with getting married, honeymoon, switching career's, selling a house, buying a house and moving to 2 different states, (can you tell life has been a little chaotic?) I forgot. Haha. Would love to sell it and get an Aimpoint or Vortex as a stopgap. It's on an AR and I've had it for about 5 years so it's definitely affected. If not, no big deal.

    I think you are still good to go. Fill out the form and see if you get an auth back to ship to them for a refund...

    I cashed in the two gift certs they gave me too for a free hat and t-shirt...

    From what I'm reading, I'm too late to get the full refund but they'll now give me a $22.50 or $50 check? Kinda confused on this. Mine was built in 2012 so I know it's definitely affected. So maybe I'm SOL?
