As my thread starter says...There are a ton of used, beat up, ACOGs on ebay that people get ahold of. Does the military sell these off eventually? Are they "hot"? or what? much cheaper than retail obviously....

My understanding is the military does not let these go to the general public. Too many fakes and hot DOD ACOGs out there to risk buying one on EBay. No thank you.
They are either fake or stolen us military property. I'd pass. Very few of them will be legit.
I've had the same thoughts on AR mags. I guess that'd be less severe than an ACOG but I've decided not to buy some on a couple of occasions because it was obvious.
I agree, this isn't just limited to ACOGs, but I have seen surefires, mags (I think USGI mags have a tan follower?) anything you can think of. I have heard from several people on deployment as soon as they got stateside they snatched any accessory off the service rifle they could. Does the gov have a way of marking etc service weapon items? I know a while back ACOGs had biblical verses on the side
Trijicon takes military theft very seriously. Just call the 1-800 number and tell them you have a reflex or ACOG that you want inspected or needs service. The first thing you get is a spill about them checking the serial number and if it was a military service only product, that they do press charges.
Hanent you guys ever been to a Government Surplus Auction ? If you can afford to buy in bulk you can get a decent deal. That said I still worry bout clones
