blobface Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hello, not really sure which section this question belongs to, but does anyone here own the Insight AN/PEQ14? I'm asking as in the near future I might require some help to verify the legitimacy of one that I have recently purchased and will receive soonish, it's from the bay of E so the worst that could happen is I get a money back guarantee, please PM or respond to this thread to let me know who you are if you feel that you might be able to help, thanks!

spetsnazdave87 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 AFAIK no replica 14 has ever been made mate so if you found one, it's real Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yeah that's what I was hoping, brief search on the internet only yielded a couple threads / sites about TMC releasing one, but it looked pretty awful so that should be immediately obvious (and lacking IR etc), also don't remember seeing anyone actually owning the replica anywhere so it was probably ghost ware. I'm only flagging it in my mind because the eBay store claims the item location is in the UK but when it was shipped, it came from Hong Kong, the seller has like 98% positive feedback but the few times they got bad reviews were people saying that what they received were cheap knock offs (of radio equipment), oh well, will see when / if it gets here.

PureSilver Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Is that the ITI LAM1000? If it is, there's a user on here (posted in the HK picture thread) who owns a civilian-spec (i.e. non-IR) version. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I remember a few years ago seeing something on eBay being a civ version. Was in HK. IT CAME UP EVERY NOW AND THEN, NO IDEA IF IT WAS. THE SAME ONE. NOT THE MOST HELPFUL OF POSTS, SORRY. Edit, gah. Stupid caps lock makes me shout. Apologies. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 It's supposedly the Insight PEQ-14 ILWLP, which is the same as LAM1000 I think, I remember seeing someone with it mounted on (and also a UK user too, on this forum, but I just can't find it anymore), the title of the ebay page also stated IR and vis laser.. so I guess if / when I receive it and it was a civ version, I can go through eBay's return procedure etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Bada Bing Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I've got one. Genuine Insight LAM-1000 ILWLP. Rail mount version. It has all the fancy IR goodies within. Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Oh great! I'll bother you with questions when I receive mine then! Although it's starting to sound like if I found it it's likely to be real, so it's more making sure it's actually fully functional, did you get all of the stuff with it as well? Like the pattern generators / tail switches etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Bada Bing Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Sounds good. Unfortunately not, I got mine through an LE officer (apparently), so it came with no accessories. Yeah any questions, fire them my way. I'll do my best to answer them. Congrats on the purchase. Link to post Share on other sites
