 THE 512 IN OLIVE DRAB  512 WITH CUT CARRY HANDLE BUIS  512 WITH BROKEN FRONT GLASS...DOT STILL SHINES THRU LIKE A CHAMP! Recticle APPEARS blurry in the pic DUE TO THE CAM I USED...much more clear when you look thru it.  512 BROKEN GLASS....FRONT VIEW

Nope...I didn't do the breaking [;)] I'm dialing it in up at the range tomorrow. I was shocked at how great this sight still functions despite be busted up like that! |

I'd been told by others that as long as there's a sliver of glass left, you can get a red spot. Good to see it for myself.
Glad I got one! ------------- JayCeeNC |

I did the same thing with my broken window 511, I mounted on one of my M4 upper with the LMT rear sight. |

Sweet pics![:D] How clear is the reticle? Damn these things are rugged! I wonder how similar damage would effect an Aimpoint? |

This is just another of the many reasons why I love the EO Tech. It also seems the 512 gets good battery life. I bought it thinking batteries would be easier to replace quickly if it used AA's. But I have had one on a gun I only use for practice now for quite a while with the original batteries! I have zeroed it, played with it and used it quite a bit and the reticle is still very bright. How long does your batteries seem to hold up in the 512's?

About 5 years ago, the famous B&B Sales (North Hollywood) had an old Bushnell Holo with a 22lr hole through it. Still ticked like a Timex.

Impressive...I'm glad to know that it'll still work when broken. I still abby the stupid thing so much. I even got the little Eotech neoprene cozy thing.
I put snow and a piece of a paper towel in the window trying to block the dot from coming up, but as long as there is a little bit of glass, it'll work. Guess that is comforting if I ever have a SHTF scenario in a Foam / Bubble Rave or something!! |

Quoted: Thanks for the great pics!! Did you do the OD green job or did yu get them like that? I did the OD'ing of the sight w/ standard military OD spray paint and some tape. I put on a few coats and it seems to be holding up well. As for 512 Battery life...just rec'd this the other day as a demo from the factory. No idea how long battery life will be aside from the "100hrs" claim. |

I had thought that the sight being fully usable, even with a broken lens was kind of a stretch, but a vendor had one with a busted lens as a demo at the last gun show I went to, and greenmountainpatriot's right; the recticle really DOES remain very clear and usable (unless you break the glass all the way out of it, I guess).

I sighted my broken window in last weekend, I shot about three mags out of the gun after it was sighted.

I have an EOTech, and love it. I found an ARMS #54 online the other day. What advantages are there for mounting EO this way?
Thanks |
