[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Pics and comments about the Micro Dot (Page 3 of 22)
|
Function tested my Gen2 by accidently dropping it 4' onto concrete: it bounced, not even a scratch. still works like a champ.
The very low settings (1 and 2) are extreamly faint, but when cranked up it gets nice and bright. Seems like a great product thus far, need to take it out asap ;) |

has anyone had an issue zeroing their red dot?
i might be confused but l swear, last night after i got it nounted, i went to cowitness and move the dot over my front sight post and i seemed that the markings on my knobs were incorrect i would turn the dial, it would click over, but the dot would move opposite of where i wanted. not a HUGE deal as i got it setup correctly anyway just figured i would ask some opinions |

I think I got that right.

Got mine in today and love it. It's atop my STG556. I'll take some pics and post them here later. Marsh, can I buy the riser mount seperately? I didn't
know that the riser mount option would include both mounts. Thanks for the fast shipping, this is my third order with you and all have been great! ARKAR |

Give us a call and we will figure out how to make it happen. |

Just wanted to say thanks! I received my Gen2 Micro today (fast shipping btw) and just mounted it to my MSAR E4. I was worried that the mount was going to be too high but it's the perfect height for this rifle. Everything looks great, the mount works great (I flipped it to the other side so it wouldn't get in the way of the charge handle) and I'm glad I waited for this. I can't wait to get out to the range and try it out.
Sorry for the crappy pics:

We have LaRue cowittness!!! It is absolute not lower 1/3 but the LT-660HK does the trick!! Oooo... Seems kind of silly to put a $100 mount on a $90 optic, though. *HINT* *HINT* 
Problem is the mount is probably not worth $100 to begin with, but like most things in firearms you are paying for the name. |

What does a KillFish do? Is it needed for indoor/outdoor range/target practicing? I'm trying to keep my AR lightweight and was wondering if the Primary Riser was milled out inside like some of the other risers on the market? I noticed 4.5oz weight, does that include the riser?
Thanks to any and all replys.............. |
| The kill flash does just what the name implies, it kills flash normally seen from the front of the gun. If you are shooting at someone you dont want sunlight to reflect off the optic and give away your position. It also works to eliminate some glare that you might get in bright sunlight. |

It also blocks the view of the LED from the front. |

Will the Micro fit on the DD T-1 mount? Here are your riser options. It will fit on any T-1 mount Our riser, the Mako and KZ all give you lower 1/3 cowittness. The LaRue LT660Hk gives you absolute cowittness LaRue LT660 tall and Daniel Defense riser will not allow for cowittness. The Aimpoint Micro LRP Quick Release Lever Kit does not fit. |

Marshal,
It looks as though the KAC (Knights Armament) T1 Mount will give absolute co-witness (or very close) as well. It uses spacers. It is a little on the $ side... "The KAC micro mount with no spacers places the centerline of the T1 2.475" above the bore line. I don't recall the exact numbers for the LT660HK, but it's in the range of 2.4xx." (Info provided by Molon from this forum) http://www.box.net/shared/static/qks4a48nmz.jpg -T |

(Info provided by Molon from this forum) http://www.box.net/shared/static/qks4a48nmz.jpg -T The Micro is not the same height as a T-1 so it will not line up the same. The spacers might make it work. I will order one to try. |
If anyone is interested, the American Defense QD lever, which the Micro's tall mount is based on, will drop in. Fit isn't perfect, but it's functional and much easier to manipulate. I don't know if ADM will sell these parts separately, I pirated them from a TD VFG. The only parts that don't transfer over are the springs, but they're completely unnecessary from a functional standpoint. |

We have just diccoverd a problem with the Gen 2/3 Micros. On at least some of the units the base holes were drilled too deep and penetrated the sight body. The factory attached the base then purged them so it did not show up at the factory. This was just discovered and at this point I am not sure if they are all effected because it does not show up until the base is removed. Once we get a handle on it everyone that bought one will be notified on what to look for. Sorry for this happening but we will take care of it.
no more sales until we get it resolved. Thanks Marshall |
