Would something like this work? Stick it in front of a fixed powered optic to make it 1x

Imagine a G33 flip to side magnifier, but instead, it's in front of your fixed power optic facing backwards

Just turn the scope around OP.  Then you go from 4x to .04x.

Kinda like an eotech magnifier, but instead it de-magnitizes a magnified optic

If you had an 4x de-magnifier in front a 4x magnified optic, wouldn't it make it 1x?

Yep, you plop it in front of a fixed power optic like an acog, and when you want less magnification you flip the de-magnifier in front

To get what you are getting at, I believe the primary arms 1x prism is said to be compatible with a magnifier. Also if you're going to add the weight of an ACOG plus a demagnifier......

Wait a minute what you're asking for is a essentially an Elcan Specter DR. From what I understand it's got a 1x and a 4x prism in it.

So why not start with a 1x optic, and add a magnitizer. I mean magnifier.

To be contrarian

But seriously though, if you already had an acog and like the reticle, it seems like reversing a flip to side magnifier in front of it could possibly work at making it better for close stuff

Just get the 1.5x or the 2x acog.

If you think you need a 1x ACOG then you don’t understand how to actually use an ACOG.

Why do people fight it?  Just get an LPVO and then you have a 1X and a magnifier all built into one convenient unit and all you do is flip the throw lever.  They come with illuminated reticles too.

Not only that, it's a 4x optic on a 10.5 SBR.

It's not meant to be a serious gun...  it's for fun.   I do have a bit of kentucky windage going on with the RMR, I'll admit.

I mean you say that but there's special ops guys that put Elcans on MK18s all the time. It's not like 4x is less useful with an effective range of 300 yards.

Yeah, but their MK18s are flat top/railed, not A1 uppers

This started out as an XM-ish clone that kind of got away from me.

I can and do put the ACOG on a flat top SBR though.   I just store it on the A1.

Magnets bro, it reverses the polarity of the magnification.

Well, you could, but it would give you a tiny aiming point, shitty field of view, light loss, and need to be spaced into the eyebox.

A lot easier to just use two eyes one would think.
