Eotech now made in China?

When he began to push the sightmarks I pretty much was done right there. I pretty much figured they and the materials would have to be Barry and dfars compliant and China would be a no go on that. I was curious if anyone had ever heard this from others. I have always had great experience with eotech also.

He also tried to convince me that the sightmarks are a holosight like eotechs, which they are not and that the reticle would not be obstructed if the lens cracked as eotechs do. I found it very hard to swallow as i noticed they use a laser like and not a hologram

I would assume that a similar regulation would apply to end products as well except in certain cases with allies (aimpoint, bae etc). He said that they are made in the same factory as the sightmark red dots and then proceeded to push those. Anyone else ever heard this?

This is the best I've heard yet

It is so sad that people like this are the ones working in gun shops, spreading mis-information.

It's a gun shop and tactical store and he doesn't just work there, he's the owner and a Vietnam vet! You would think of anyone, he would be the most informed

Correct,....I somehow tore the covers of the buttons on my XPS2-0 removing the hood. I called them about getting it repaired. They ended up replacing the covers free of charge. Had it back to me withing a week. Outstanding service!

I'm not fond of the EOTech sights, but that dude was blowing smoke up your ass, violently. I wouldn't spend a nickel with him again.
