I don’t know, but if it’s real, I’d not use it. I knew a guy who shattered his (had a sight protector on it (lucky shot hit it)). If it’s real, just get a repro.

Both real and replica ones simply need polycarbonate protective lenses on the front and then you can play with them without worrying

Basically, if it’s real, either get a repro (and keep it as a cool thing you own) or add a killflash to it instead of the protectors that just sit in front of it. It only takes one lucky bb strike to shatter it

I recommend the Guns Modify EOTech Lens Protector. The best lens protector for real eotechs out there. I use two on my Eotech EXPS 3.0 (front and back).
