Duane Thomas Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 A friend of mine has come into possession of what appears to be a Trijicon TA01NSN ACOG, however it does not have Trijicon molded into it. Is that common on this model, or is this likely a knockoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Smith Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) I seem to recall hearing about problems with counterfeit ACOGs last year. It may also be a "replica" designed for use on an Airsoft gun. Edited December 22, 2009 by Graham Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shay1911 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) I had an NSN in my hands before. I did some research on it an it was a military issued unit. It is NOT counterfeit. http://www.trijicon.com/user/parts/product...mp;categoryID=3 http://www.opticsplanet.net/trijicon-4x32-...a1-ta01nsn.html Edited December 22, 2009 by Shay1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Does it have a serial number? If your friend is still in doubt, call Trijicon. From what I hear, they are interested in knowing about counterfeits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 If he paid $79 for it, it's a fake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Here's one. Marked Trijicon ACOG on right side. NSN number and Serial number on left. What distinguishes the TAO1 and the TAO1NSN is the backup iron sight with Tritium font sight post that is built into the TA01NSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Just happened to check out Trijicon's website and noticed this: "Genuine Trijicon® ACOG® scopes can be identified by three distinguishing characteristics: Every ACOG® will be marked with the serial number on the top of the scope, both on the eyepiece and the main housing. All Trijicon® ACOG® scopes have a statement on the left side of the unit indicating that the sight contains tritium. The words “Trijicon® ACOG®” are forged into the main housing and appear as raised letters." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
