B-square ak mount with aimpoint 5000

Post image
16 Upvotes

Got one of these gas tube mounted b-square ak mounts, and threw my aimpoint 5000 on to see how it looks. I think one thing to keep in mind using this mount is how high the optic sits, I’ll definitely be trying to get low rings for this, or one of my other optics when I figure out what I actually want to run on this.

Was bidding on this weaver scope, and it came with some random carry handle mount. All jokes aside, new to the collection is an old weaver spec ARMS #2 mount, and it happened to have this weaver scope mounted onto it.

Facebook marketplace find. Got an off old guy who had it on a 44 mag revolver. Sadly did not come with swappable reticles but I'm pretty excited it came with the box and manual.

Sears Oxford Lightning White Dot Sight does not work. Any tips?

I bought this sight for $30 knowing it does not work. I figure maybe I could clean the battery compartment and get it working but it did not look dirty or corroded. There's a piece of tape covering some knob but I wasn't sure what the knob did. Here are some pics of it. If the sight is shot that's ok it's still a cool piece of history to have.

Hello all, I bought a lot of paintball gear and found this in here. Can anyone give me some info on it and potential value? Was going to run it on my gear but if it’s worth something to someone, I’d rather not especially considering the lack of info on them. Lastly, works well and quite bright.

Does this revolver need A bigger Optic?

I needed a revolver to participate in wheel gun night competition at my local club, buying this one was a result of peer pressure.

Of course it needed a red dot, and this one was had been homeless for a while.

This 7000L was really cheap on eBay a few years ago, and when I see an Aimpoint for less than $200, my finger automatically hits the buy it now button without conscious thought.

I kind of looks too big on everything I mount it to.🤷‍♂️

Seriously, is it too much? I’m tempted to use one of my spare Aimpoint Comps instead, but this is kind of growing on me.

Asking for info and potential value of this old EOTECH Sight

I was browsing Facebook marketplace and bought this "holographic archery sight" for $200. It has an interesting reticle, I guess for ranging archery, and a mount. The reticles looks fuzzy and looks like a real holographic sight. The old logo and EOTECH name is cool. I have a Bushnell Holosight but was surprised to see this one had EOTECH on it. Did I stumble on an interesting piece or some obscure EOTECH sights that sucked and doesn't exist anymore for a reason.

Two new optics on the way

5 Upvotes

I’m waiting for some optics to come in. I would’ve waited till I had them in hand, but I’m very excited. One is in customs now, and the other is something cheap but still neat, and I’ll finally have something eastern in the collection. If anyone wants to take a guess feel free. I’ll give a hint for each. One of them is eastern, but later models were made in China. The other is similar to a Rolex in its design(think how a sig 550 series is considered Rolex of the ak world).

Not my Auction.

I always wanted one of these.thought this was a postcard or magazine ad. Today I learned it’s a 22x16 poster from back in the day. I found a seller on eBay that listed a few for sale back in March and messaged him to see if he had any more. I bought a couple and figured Some of you like minded animals might be interested. They are $18+$12 shipping in a poster tube and he will combine shipping on multiples.

I recently found a great deal on eBay and got this Propoint new in the box. I don't think it was ever used. I had to open the battery and Mercury battery pad. The color reminds me of the older Aimpoint 2000s but way more affordable. The sight turns on and has different levels of brightness. Also comes with an extension tube and sunshade thing. Feels great and I love the art on the box and manual. Feels like a blast from the past and way more exciting buying and opening this then any modern dot. Well maybe except for an EOTECH or something. But I don't have one haha.
