Primary Arms Aimpoint Clones?

[Mudcat]

I ordered one as well with the riser mount. Even though I have no idea why.
Thanks for the review, yea thanks for making me spend money.

 

[Turn Key]

where can you get these?

I looked at the Primary Arms Web Site and the thing that bothers me is that there are no addresses or phone numbers for them, even in the "Contact Us"

I don't know if this helps you, but they do have an active presence on ARFCOM: Primary Arms - AR15.COM

I am still kicking around the idea of ordering one of these blems or spending a bit more and getting the Vortex SPARC red dot for $199. I want the Aimpoint, but my cashflow is weak.

As an FYI, I will have this with me at the AR Open House on Sunday.

Question ????

I want an absolute co-witness not lower 1/3 do I need a different mount, this will be great on my new Spike's upper.

Getting an absolute co-witness requires another mount. I'm not sure which one exactly, but you can find out by clicking on the ARFCOM link a few posts up.

The HK416 height from LaRue will do it. But then you've spent (a lot) more on the mount than you did on the optic...

I have a RRA tactical carry handle would I need one of the risers for the micro to work right?

Thanks Scott

Thanks for the heads up

I just ordered one, now I have to figure out what platform to put it on.

Are you talking about the one that is essentially a piece of rail that is an inch above the railed upper receiver? Or an actual carry handle?

Either way, I'd buy the PA riser, take off any carry handle, and run it on the flat top.

In case it is important to you, many of the clones are not waterproof like Aimpoint is.

Yea this is what I have.
Guess I'll look into the riser also.

Thanks Scott

They also don't have the battery technology to boast 50,000 hrs of runtime. The electronics in clones are generally of much lesser quality as well, which makes them much less rugged in general. Some will not hold zero well either. I'm guessing they also use lesser qualities of glass.

Anyone buying a clone should know exactly what they're getting into before making a purchase. Clones are NOT substitutes for the real deal-- they are simply lesser quality versions that, like their real counterparts, fit a specific role.

Here we go. I mounted mine on an AK47.

A closer shot.

Here is the sight picture.

Over all, it seems like a decent sight. I think I'm going to like it. It will be a while though before I get to shoot the gun with it on.

 

[smitty12b]

I just got my delivery info, should be here saturday. I think this is going on my .22 upper.

 

[glock34]

Done

I expect pictures from you as well.

It took two days from the time I ordered it to get it. Here it is on my newly built 9mm AR.
