Haha thanks! I'll try and stay away from excessive gun purchases in the future and enjoy this one for a while.

Good luck with that. At first this sounds easy, but it just gets worse and worse. Got my license in august of 2013.Haha thanks! I'll try and stay away from excessive gun purchases in the future and enjoy this one for a while.

Yes it is a common problem with ACOG's and yes they are serialized; Google "ACOG stolen military". They are also counterfeited quite often, to the point that Trijicon has a serial number service where they will verify authenticity and who it was sold to. Trijicon also has a disclaimer as a result of both issues:
"Disclaimer for Purchasing USED Trijicon Products
Any Trijicon product purchased in the second-hand (USED) marketplace should be considered a "buyer beware" situation. Trijicon cannot confirm nor deny that any product is legitimate when being purchased in the USED marketplace. There are various reasons why a potential purchaser of any USED product should be cautious. These include many fakes or forgeries of products, as well as the possibility of the USED product being stolen goods. Please do not contact us to determine if a potential purchase is authentic. We can only determine authenticity if we have the product in-hand at our factory. Trijicon strongly recommends purchasing new Trijicon products from an Authorized Trijicon Retailer."
The tritium is warranted for 15 years from date of purchase but only to the original purchaser. If the scope is 10 years old and the tritium starts to fade, you can send the scope in for a repair/replacement tritium module. If you are not the original purchaser or if it is out of warranty, that tritium insert costs $5-600.
The worst part is that if you send in a stolen ACOG for service, they will confiscate the optic and report you to the DOD.
Ask me how I know: "...therefore, if your scope were sent in for repair, we may be required to report the serial number to the Department of Defense Investigation Group. You may contact them if you would like. They will determine if this product was removed from government inventory or not. ... As a rule of thumb, we warn against purchasing a military Acog due to these reasons."
That was a fun day.
Figured I'd post it here because he got here at the end of January. A gift from my daughter. Making me a little older, and giving me another reason to smile.
Yep, I'm a grandfather now.
I honestly can't wait to buy him his first rifle.
