but since NV optics are illegal to use in combination with illumination here in California;

Nice unit, good luck with the sale.  But, I think you may be misinterpreting the laws.  Luckily for us most CA legislatures don't know shit about the firearms or the optics they intend to ban, constantly leaving loopholes open.

I am of the understanding that a self-contained night vision scope attached to a firearm is indeed against the law.  Night vision (hand-held or helmet mounted) are not illegal.  Infrared illumination or laser pointers attached to a firearm are not illegal.  The use of a combination of the two is not illegal, except while hunting.  Depredation, such as the taking coyotes, foxes, or raccoons is not considered hunting.  I have friends who are shepherds that use these methods to protect their livestock, and are within their legal rights.

Having said all that, law enforcement are often subject to the same misunderstandings.  Defending yourself in court might be far more expensive and troublesome than the toys are worth.

Again, best of luck with your sale.


Well; the two major grey areas are the class of laser (thus low power mode), and the fact that it has an illuminator which by definition crosses into a grey area of possible incorrect prosecution.

We all know in cali, people will try to charge you anyways; which is a headache in itself... which was my whole end sentiment.


It worked EXTREMELY well for things like raccoons and coyotes; but I have since sold off my night scope, so its mostly going unused for its features.  Just turn on the illuminator and eyes are like beacons.

Thanks for the feedback Wink

Up for sale is my EOTech 552.  It has a combination integrated infared laser dot and infared laser illuminator.  
This is not your average EOTech, and you will not find this laser package for sale anywhere.

This laser is a serious hazard if you do not know what it is/does.  
Keep this in mind:  I will imagine that it would spark the interest of few and specific people given its features...  
I don't expect it to sell quick; and If I need to explain about this to you;  you don't need to buy it.

This optic has a Laser Devices dual-laser installed.   Laser Devices is the leading company for the highest tier military-grade laser devices.  You will not find this laser package on a public purchase list;  that is 100% certain.  Their public SKU list is rather limited; and this package definitely is/was not on that list.
The Laser has two separate emitters;  one is a typical infared pointer (dot), the other is put through a lens and focused into a flashlight beam effectively giving you daylight-like illumination through night vision optics at any distance (focusable); while emitting zero visible light.
There are low power and high power settings for each.  Check with local laws about using the high power setting;  there's a reason that little blue screw is there to block high-power mode.
It can be activated manually by the button on the side, or double click the button to turn it on.  The bottom has a port for a standard quick disconnect squeeze switch for activation as well.

I have had it for years;  but since NV optics are illegal to use in combination with illumination here in California;  I really can't justify holding onto it; and would like to get something a little more practical and less pocket-heavy.  I don't think they will be changing their laws any time soon.

Testing waters for offers on either cash, crypto, or trade.  
I know exactly what this is worth.  
I will most likely ignore most offers if they are not realistic.  
Escrow can be provided;  and I am sure if you wanted to do direct;  I have references that could give a good hefty vouch that I follow through with my deals on this forum.

Will not ship overseas or outside the US.  I will use a USPS flat-rate postage box with tracking.

Yes its dirty in the photos;  Its still mounted and used since it works just fine as a holosight for now.

It does need a new battery housing.   They are for sale on amazon for not much at all.  
This one works;  but a battery corroded in it at one point and made one of the springs pop out of the bottom;  makes battery changes annoying.  
Best to get a new one.. they are ~$20.


What you get:
The sight as pictured.
Two grip "squeze" buttons for laser/illuminator activation. (not pictured)  You can mount them on your grip or wherever you want a push-to-use button.  They have fresh new unused velcro mounted.


Please leave all offers in this thread.... don't PM me.    I don't like closed door trade/sell offers.
