Trijicon TA01NSN

[Duane Thomas]

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?

Hmmmmm.

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.

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.

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.

If he paid $79 for it, it's a fake!

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.

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."
