#KnockOffs

In most industries having your products knocked-off is nothing new, the same is true for the firearms accessory market. Just recently we posted about fake UpLULA magazine loaders being sold on Amazon. Then there was that $2 million load of counterfeit Glock mags seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, they also seized a load of fake Blackhawk Holsters a few years back. There’s even been fake Magpul PMAGs out there.

Magpul’s new all-steel MBUS Pro sights were released fairly recently, yet it seems like knock offs are already making their way from China. Magpul copies are nothing new, fake Magpul PMAGs and polymer MBUS sights have been all over the internet for quite some time. When the Magpul 10 round PMAGS were released fakes were spotted on eBay pretty quickly. Well it didn’t take the copy cats in China long to knock off Magpul’s hot new product. These copies are listed on the Chinese marketplace websites for  $36.99 with free shipping from China. If they’re anything like the fake MBUS sights the quality is probably shoddy and they most likely lose zero after half a range day (or less)
