Go forth, and buy! (Got an email from ArmsUnlimited) https://www.armsunlimited.com/TangoDown-iO-Cover-for-Trijicon-MRO-w-Clear-Caps-p/ac31022.htm Mods, feel free to zap that link if it's innapropriate. For some reason I had thought they were cheaper, then again, I got my iocover before they were Tango Down, and when they had first come out. |

Seems like around $30 from Botach but backordered. Looks like those are the opaque cover versions though. Not sure what the MSRP is on the clear lids.

The clear cover models are sold exclusively through Trijicon and we are the ONLY distributor who will have them at first, we have plenty of the black and tan
The solid covers are sold exclusively through TangoDown and cost less because you cant see through them when they are closed....the see through clear caps are definitely the way to go, in sand or snow you can keep the caps closed to protect the glass but still see your dot! |

No worries!
Our price is as low as we can offer at the moment, the demand is insane and we are the only dealer/distributor who received anything from the first production run. We already discounted $10 below retail |

From what I understand the owner of our company suggested to Trijicon way back at SHOT show to have the covers redesigned with see through caps as they were planning solid caps like the other iO cover models available, this has a bit to do with why we got allocation of first shipment
TangoDown WILL NOT be selling the see through cap models to customers, only Trijicon will be selling them through their distributors such as ourselves |

If the item is in stock there is almost zero reason the item shouldn't be shipped within 24 hours IMO. There are places that do it and quite frankly I don't see it as excellent CS. I see it as simply the way it should be done. There is almost no other scenario where you give someone money and they putz around with your product. This isn't Wimpy buying cheeseburgers. It's people paying hard earned money. It means they don't care. They'll say they do, but actions speak louder than words. I'm going through this now with a joke of a place called nokick. No shipping and they answered one email last week. Sick of places like this. Maybe I'm just getting bitter but unless PA or another outfit that's ships quickly sells something I won't buy it. Sorry. It burns me up when places do this. It's worse when they try to serve up an excuse.

Trijicon did not ship them with instructions, we are waiting for the instructions to be able to ship them all out. Installation is confusing and even 1/4 people at the factory couldnt install the covers without instructions. They are scheduled to arrive this Wednesday, ALL will ship by then. We are the ONLY dealer who is receiving the covers initially
The MAP price has also since been increased from initial release to us from Trijicon so everyone who got them at the lower price has that locked in but all future orders are at $51 to reflect the increase We apologize for the delay but ALL orders will ship this coming week and will arrive within 2-3 days of shipment, cards are never charged until orders ship. |

RSR Group just got 50 of the clear cap versions in stock. You can order them from Lanbo's, Exile or the like. Both of those guys are $36ish plus 10 for shipping. Just search for "TRAC31021"
That is the same part number that Trijicon lists as clear caps. |

My Tangodown MRO covers finally arrived in the mail today, 3Nov2016—30 days after placing the order on 4Oct2016 with Arms Unlimited.
If you can put on your socks you should be able to install the cover on your MRO. Taking my time, it took about 30 seconds to install the cover. On the other hand, it took about 3 minutes to figure out how to get the protective film off the transparent cover inserts before inserting them into the cover. I ended up using my thumbnail to scratch the protective film face near one edge enough to be able to lift the rest of the film off the insert. Once I figured that trick out it was easy to remove the film. The only other trick to the entire installation was to double check that the transparent inserts were fully inserted into the cover by pushing around the entire edge of the glass and hearing a distinct snap when it locked into place. The cover appears to be well made and the red dot is readily visible with or without the covers in place, and the elevation and windage dials are easily accessed for adjustment. Like the later Tangodown covers for the Aimpoint H1/T1, the two caps lock together on the left side when open. Locking the covers together or unlocking them is a 2-handed affair and I am not able to do either operation while maintaining a firing grip on the rifle. The cover does add some thickness to the body of the MRO and further protects the unit from bumps and bangs. But that material thickness also reduces the finger room available for adjusting the brightness of the red dot. It is still manageable, but it is not as easy to adjust as it is without the cover. If the MRO covers are as durable as the similar Aimpoint versions, they will be worth the $51 apiece I paid for them. Interestingly, nowhere on the packaging or on the cover itself, is it marked Tangodown. It is strictly marked Trijicon and comes with a Trijicon sticker enclosed with the small instruction pamphlet. This is the first time I have dealt with Arms Unlimited, and I do not know if long shipping times are typical, but Palmetto State Armory has never taken as long to ship in stock items as this order took. Based upon my experience, Unlimited Arms provides quality products but I would expect very slow shipments—consider yourself forewarned.

Exile Machine, Lanbo's and the other dozen or so other ones who buys from RSR Group (BIG distributor). AU claims that they were the only ones getting them, and continue to claim they are the only retailer to have had them in stock - that just simply isn't true.
They have been in and out of stock several times at all of those stores. I am also irritated because I ordered from AU on the first day they made them available and when it hadn't shipped for over 10 days they told me they were just running behind. Then post on here a few weeks later about missing instructions causing the delay. I cancelled my order with them after 30 days when I was able to order from someone else. I ordered mine from Exile Machine for $37 and had it in my hands on Nov 1. Shipping was 9.99 but I bought a few other things in the order. Is it too much to expect a little bit of honesty from a retailer? |

Anyone who uses RSR's inventory feed on their store shows the same items in stock (unless a retailer can't sell x brand for whatever reason).
I can't say with any certainty, but I thought I saw FDE was in stock at one point. I do know the initial supply of 50 black covers sold out and then came back in stock a day or two later, and thats when I thought I saw FDE in stock too. |

You are missing the point.
AU has said numerous times in this thread they were the only retailer that was going to have them. And despite being proven otherwise, they continue to say so. Yes its true, they may be the only ones to list them in stock at this time. But they were certainly not ever the only retailer to ever have them. They took orders for them on 10/3. Almost 30 days before they started shipping them. Constantly claimed they were the only ones getting them. Then said the shipping delay was due to demand, then said it was due to needing instructions. Then coincidentally, while still claiming they were the only ones getting the clear capped versions, several RSR backed retailers were shipping them the same time as when AU finally did. I've spent several thousand dollars at AU this year, so don't think I'm on some sort of witch hunt. I just hate when retailers think their customers are stupid and pull this DNC type shit. |

We appreciate all your previous business and apologize that the delay was unsatisfactory to you but you are absolutely wrong on other retailers offering these. Other retailers are offering the SOLID cap models, we are offering CLEAR (see through) caps.
The other retailers you mentioned do not have them in stock and have never had them in stock based off the price they are displaying, even when they are released to other dealers/distributors they will be selling them for the same $51 or higher based off the wholesale price, the price they are displaying is actually below their cost on the covers they just dont know it yet because they havent be able to purchase them. RSR has not received ANY of the clear covers yet, only the solid covers which are $20 cheaper We do apologize for the delay in release but we did not charge anyones card until they shipped which was about 10 days after they went on sale and the majority was understanding about the delay |

I hear what your saying. I agree the str8 story is always wanted. But what your saying isn't correct at all. No other source has these in stock and shipping. I spoke work lanbo. They've never had the clear covers in stock. They had the black solid. That's it. So again. If you can point me in the direction of a source that actually has these or even HAD them in stock officially I'd be blown away. Because at this point. No other retailers I've contacted (including the ones you listed) have confirmed they ever had them in stock and shipping. Only AU has. |

There is a retailer on Ebay who has both colors right now. Botach has black in stock.
Just about anyone who uses RSR just has them drop ship, Lanbo's included. So he wouldn't of had it in his physical inventory or even known it was in stock at RSR unless he checked. Trust me, it was in stock at both places when I posted about it in this thread on the 26th. (I even got it before someone who ordered it from AU on the 10/4!) The only reason I ordered it from Exile and not Lanbo's is because I needed some Glock parts, which Lanbo's doesn't get in their inventory feed from RSR from some reason. Look at the part number. (TRAC31021). That is the part number for the clear caps.  And here it is in my hands on Nov 1st.  Ironically, the MRO and Larue mount combo was purchased from AU! |

Again, we are sorry we weren't able to get them out immediately as there was an unforeseen delay but we did not charge anyones card until we shipped the covers.
No one has them through Trijicon or RSR and we stand by that as of this post. There are small retailers some of which who sell on eBay, who may have bought from us in bulk as we are a distributor for Trijicon, if you really keep insisting otherwise a simple phonecall to Trijicon will clear it up |
