View Thread: Kalinka Optics - Norinco?


SDDL-UP
I just bought a "Kobra" red dot sight from Kalinka Optics and I believe it might be a Norinco copy of the Kobra. It has a Norinco N on the underside... I'll be calling Kalinka on Monday.

That sucks. Found this, not sure if it helps.

That sucks! I thought about also getting one!

I can't say for sure one way or another. The link VinnieBoomBah provided shows the same N on both the genuine and the fake Kobras. The one I have has the "Made in Russia" thing cast into it like the fake Kobra, but in a different location. That N sure looks like a Norinco N though and there are a couple more subtle things that are just a little different. I'll keep checking it out. I really don't want to resort to tearing them both apart to try and tell.
