Any reason I shouldn't buy an old aimpoint that's the exact model I carried in Iraq back in 2008? There's one at a local gun&pawn for $300, has the lens flash hider, bikini end caps, takes the fat watch batteries. I don't recall the mount that was on it.
Worth it? I'm not building a clone, but my other red dots are Sig Romeo 5 and a vortex Spark II. I Kind of want it just cause, and find the duck bill mount for an A2 carry handle and put it on my 20" but that's silly. A 3x prisim would make more sense on the rifle, so in actuality I'd probably replace the Romeo 5 on my 11.5" with the bigger but probably more trust worthy old Aimpoint.
Allegedly it came from a NG unit? Or so said the store owner.
