Wouldn't exactly call it fine print.
The Illumination source is noted in two areas, both in the specifications table and below it.
The tube is refurbished by Armament Technology so in essence they are as new I guess.
I have closely inspected 4 or 5 of them and they are all perfect.
-They have a new base installed (the latest Gen IV base, no engraving)
-The cover is new.
-The illumination source has been removed. (Not that us civies really need it anyhow)
-You would need a DND armourer to know the difference between this and an issue one.
-3 year warranty direct from Armament Technology
Any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
