    Trying to assist a widow in disposing of some items. One of them is an Eotech 551. She is not convinced that it appears to be a counterfeit.
    1. The light source is visible within the housing.
    2. No optical insert.
    3. No serial number or any other markings (model, etc.)

    Anyone else that has happened across one of these?

    Yeah - I've come across a number of 'em - if you reach out to Eotech, they'll give you key indicators to look for. But definitely sounds counterfeit. I'll also go on to say that if she's going to mistrust you on this one, you should reassess your willingness to help her. I love helping folks out like that - but the second they doubt my integrity, I'm out the door.

    She trusts me, but optics are not my strong suit. I've already helped her sell a couple dozen rifles. Now working on the ammo, optics, and accessories.

    I guess I've missed the listings here....
    They sold quickly by word of mouth or Armslist. I, honestly, didn't want to deal with shipping and FFLs unless locals weren't interested. Only two rifles (Both #4 Enfields) and a handgun (CZ-82) are left.
