how to identify stolen military optics

I know a couple CID guys and NCIS guys that spend a lot of time online looking for such people, buying and selling stolen crap. They even read the posts here. Just sayin.......

ETA: I'm talking about the M68 CCO models, whatever they are called Comp M2 maybe?

All of the Comp M2 and M4's I'm looking at right now have made in Sweden stamped on them.

Are they your personally owned or gov owned?

My PRO and T1 do not say made in Sweden on them.

Sorry, they're all GOV. So maybe it's a decent indicator but not guaranteed.

So has it been verified 100% that USMC marked KAC Micro 600s are in fact stolen? They're all over Ebay at tempting prices, but I don't wanna support thieves.

According to KevinB yes. I got a couple almost two years ago before it was well known.

OK, thanks for that... Has anyone tried reporting this to Ebay??? Seems like if enough people got busted selling them, they would just quit stealing them.

Aimpoints can't be stolen they are bought with your tax dollars.

Try explaining that to the U.S. Magistrate at initial.

Grow some balls do you really think you will be prosecuted for buying a suspected stolen property valued at $500 from the Feds. At best they will notify you to volunteer to surrender items.
