    Funny I was in a gun store yesterday and in the case was one of these rear sights marked USMC. Still in the Knights package with a knight sticker on the front.

    I've seen a lot of them around at well respect dealers who don't handle used item, new stock only. They aren't shady what so ever, and only order from major distributors. I can think of at least 2 dealers in Tucson alone that stock them fairly regularly along with other KAC products.

    It's not the Marines I'd be worried about. It's Trey's personal assault team led by The Jack L.

    Get it? Jack L? Jackal?

    That was a poorly executed joke.

    The USMC marked ones were sold ONLY to the military.
    However, the military can declare them excess or scrap, and dispose of them through DRMO....

    So, the ones sold on ebay and elsewhere can be perfectly legal and not stolen.

    They cannot be disposed of through DRMO as there is a current acquisitions contract on them. If they are not fit for service, they are to be de-mil'd and scrapped.
    Sold new in unopened packaging is about as far from that state as one can get.

    It happens.
    Not everyone knows the story on them and are tricked into buying stolen items.

    To be clear, neither the Government or I really care about the single sight that some LCpl sells to his buddy that he was "given" due to poor asset control by the armory.
    What really matters is the thousands that are stolen at a time and sold in bulk. Those people know exactly what they are doing and those people f**king suck.

    It shouldn't be disposed of through sale, they should be more focused on the "R" in DRMO. However, depending on the DRMO site sometimes they do just dispose of it through sale.

    Government waste? Maybe, but it happens.
