I recently purchased a Comp M3..love it. Not the problem.
I bought a lightly used 3X magnifier complete with the LaRue flip mount from a vet down on his luck. Good deal for both of us. Problem: I installed it on my AR and noticed a significant amount of play with the magnifier. Upon further review, the play was under the rubber armor of the magnifier. I could not get the rubber off due to it appearing to be glued on. Long story short, I cut it off carefully. I found the problem, the 2 halves of the magnifier where held together with 4 screws was loose... all 4 screws were barely finger tight. I have tightened same and it is very solid now. Question: I have tried unsuccessfully to contact Aimpoint so that I can buy an new rubber cover and basic advice on installation. I have left 3 voicemails over 2 weeks. Is there anywhere I can buy this part? I am in customer support with a pretty big company, and these things happen... but this being my first experience with Aimpoint is disheartening. Thanks, Mac |
| I have never seen a magnifier get loose before. I also have not seen any replacement covers for sale before either. I would see about getting it replaced under warranty if possible and if not, send it to Aimpoint to get recovered. I doubt you could get it on by yourself as it is probably heat shrunk on. |
