MATECH BUIS on eBay, is this real, or bogus?

[STLRN]

The Matechs aren't all that great a BUIS, they break an awful lot and the ranging feature was not well thought out design, you will often find it set on a different range than you last set it on just because the lever snags things.

It's funny.. In the early stages of the War in iraq.. lots of units going over had Aimpoints and no BUIS. And Since the manufacturer (MATECH) does not sell to the general public.. these were hard to find and the price was accordingly.

Once Big Greens supply system caught up a few years into the war.. Units were rotating back and GI's were told they could keep a lot of the RFI stuff, like BUIS's,Weaponlights,CamelBaks,etc.

Thanks to Ebay and all the different Equiptment exchange sites on the internet.. an enterprising young PFC or Specialist, could bankroll his Paypal account with all kinds of stuff he "scrounged" from wherever. The one thing about a War... the waste,fraud and excessive gear that some how never gets to the guys who really need it, always rears it's ugly head.

and it's always been a dirty little secret that a lot of stolen government bought,taxpayer paid for gear has been sold off on the internet.

I always chuckle when I see something for sale by a guy with a username of 11B40Grunt and his home address is Fayetville N.C. and he's selling a NIB PAC 4C with all the wrapping that looks just like the one I got issued back in the day...

And then a few guys call him on it and his post "mysteriously" disappears a day or so later. If it walks and talks and smells like a chicken...........

Now the Market is flooded with MATECH sights and they are worth about $40.

and the ironic part of it is... there not that great of a BUIS... and who the hell needs an adjustable 600Meter BUIS????

My advice still stands... if you want to know if something is reputable and not a asian airsoft ripoff..buy from a reputable dealer here... then you know for sure.
