Have you loosened the lock screws on the back of the sight?

I've had my FastFire II for a couple of years, I had that issue once when it was new. I rapped it smartly a couple of times with a plastic Bic lighter, so problems since.

Well, my experience with my own FastFire II remains, no matter where you bought your FastFire II. You asked 'anyone else have this problem", and I have.
If you bought it from us, and it's been less than 30 days, by all means take advantage of our return/exchange policy. I thought you might benefit from giving it a good smack, and avoid return/exchange/warranty. The same technique worked on my EOTech 512 that had not been adjusted for 5 or 6 years... What part of TN are you in? My family is from east central TN. Mark H. |

This is common to many/most optics. When rezeroing my ACOG, knocking on the housing hard with my knuckles to "set" the scope adjustments is often necesary as well as reccomended by trijicon.
Eta:c figure these devices are recoil hardened, banging on them lightly won't hurt them. |

Thanks for the advice. |

Had the same issue with a Pride Fowler mini dot (very similar sight, except it doesn't require removal to replace the battery) and I tapped it with a small screwdriver a couple times and it popped free and could then be adjusted.
I've seen it happen on scopes and dots before when someone maxes out an adjustment and it hangs up. |
