I will have to break this into two due to the number of photos....
In the interest of others not wasting their money like I did.....
I knew it was too good to be true. I found the Larue Eotech mount I had been looking for on Gunbroker
for $50. I was slightly suspicious, but I guess I WANTED to believe it.
I looked at the pictures of the mount on Larue's website, and tried to compare them to the pics the seller had listed
on the auction. It looked enough like the real deal, that I hit 'buy now' hoping that someone had just ordered the wrong mount for their
build, and was cutting their losses.
I was wrong.
After installing my 'new' mount, I noticed some slight deficiencies, that I will show with the following pics.
Here is the REAL Larue LT-110 Eotech Mount
It comes in a labeled ziploc bag with a Larue label.
Included in the bag is the mount, and a Larue adjustment wrench for the tension on the throw lever.
Here is the REAL LT-110
Here is a side by side with the fake on top.
Notice the diffenerce in finish of the two mounts.
The fake is shinier, almost like paint (which it may be).
The fake has a 'shelf' in the machining which the real LT-110 does not have.
This was my first real clue as to having a fake. Note the approx. 5-7 deg cant of the mount and Eotech to the left.
(See top of Troy BUIS in foreground as a reference.)
Upon closer inspection, the FAKE has an uneven gap visible at the front of the rail.
After removing the mount (After shooting about 50-60 rounds), I discovered the finish had been rubbed off
the inside of the mount anywhere that the rail on my Bushy touched it. (I can only assume this means it was moving
under recoil)
Then I noticed that the writing on the side of the mount looked 'funny'. Kinda 'squished down'.
REAL is on top.
