[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ever tear down a fake acog? (Page 1 of 5)
Posted: 3/20/2018 1:37:59 PM EDT
| Any of you tear one down? what does the prism assy look like inside? and where is the trit vial located? |
|
I have.
It looks like a prism housed in a small latice plastic cage. It has two springs and plungers which move the prism when you make click adjustments. It is a "free floating" prism captured by the body of the optic and the rear ocular assembly. Really simple device and likely why its so tough. The patent is expired. If someone could convince the chinese to up their QC they could make pretty good approximations. |

Try helium so it will weigh less. Quoted:
Quoted: I was even thinking of buying one and pop it apart. Just need a nitrogen box to re-purg it on re-assy. 
Fat McNasty- negative. I've only purchased real ACOGs as I'm 100 percent buy once cry once with teh gunz. There was a point though before I owned one that I "sort of wanted" on one of those ATIBAL fake ACOGs. Pulled the trigger on a TA01NSN instead tho (and later a TA31) |

Yes fakecogs do have tritium. Check out this Advertisement I highly doubt the knockoff has tritium. |

@Fat_McNasty which fakecog are you experimenting on? Quoted:
Quoted:
Ok, strapped it on to a G3 clone. sighted it in then let it rip 4 mags.. still ticking.. I wouldn try one on my 10yr olds AR with the 22 upper. Not a fan of fakes, but if it's under $200 I would give it a try. |

Quoted:
My first TA01NSN was $600 and my last one was $400 at hills dale VA yearly flea market. He wanted $500 but since the tritium was dead he sold it for $400 since it didn't sell by Sunday afternoon I agree no need to buy fakes |

Quoted:
They don't Some do have a functioning fibre optic light gatherer and i think that rather impressive for the price. Quoted:

There's tritium in a fakecog? Some do have a functioning fibre optic light gatherer and i think that rather impressive for the price. Tritium vials are readily available online. |

This I wouldn try one on my 10yr olds AR with the 22 upper. Not a fan of fakes, but if it's under $200 I would give it a try. Next I'm strapping it to the 50 BMG and going to see if I can shake her loose. |

Which now wears a 6-24 Vortex Viper. 338 LM suppressed. |

Quoted:
Screw the tritium. I was gonna mount a teeny LED (5 lumen) on a Trijicon Relfex sight. The LED lights up the dot using the fiber optic quite well . Easier to change batteries than a tritium vial. |

Quoted:
it was like 80 bucks. Hard to tell which one it is, since all the fakes come pretty much from the same place.. Fiber works. No trit yet. Next I'm strapping it to the 50 BMG and going to see if I can shake her loose.
