Eo-tech parts rattling around inside??

[Schuyshot]

Anyone ever seen this? I assume this is a part of the sight; not sure how anything could get in there... Cleaning up after a range trip last night and noticed a rattling noise in the upper. Thought it was a primer or carbon chunk or something stuck somewhere in the upper but couldn't find it. I was about to give up when I looked to verify the sight was off and I see this little guy just floating around in there! I've run eotechs for 10+ years and this one for 3 or 4 and never had a problem other than dead batteries...

Waiting on a email from customer service.

They have great CS. What model EO is that? I've never seen anything like that with an XPS model before.

The reply said sometimes bits get caught up by static during assembly and it may be an "extra" piece!

I had that happen to mine, and I just took it out, lol.

Great CS though!

Same lock ring? Aren't you curious what it goes/went to?

 

[Schuyshot]

Well, less than a day after the problem, 12hrs after first contact with L3 the sight is boxed up and ready to hit the mail in the morning.


This went much smoother than I expected.

Warranty covered on a sight made in 2010. 2nd owner (I think).

Reps to L3 EOTech.

Yup, pretty much the same ring.

It was my buddies, and the thing wouldn't adjust correctly and was shooting like 3 feet low @25 yards. He gave it to me and said "go nuts"

I was playing with it, when i heard a twang sound, and then that thing appeared in the glass. I took it apart, and it looks like its a little c-clip that locks into the adjustment rods. So i imagine my eotech is not drop resistant anymore, but I'm not going to war anytime soon so I'll live.

Good luck with yours!

Good to know. I wonder now if this really is an extra lockring in there. Last time I zeroed it was about 300rds ago and I pulled it out of the back Sunday and rang 10" steel at 100yds. Its never had a zero hold issue. It will be in Michigan by Friday so we'll see what they say.


"go nuts" Eh? Pretty bold for a $500 sight!

 

[S197GT07]

He was ready to toss it in the trash since i think he contacted eotech and they wouldn't fix it for one reason or another, not 100% sure on the details.

I will say, its like magic in there!

I have my Eotech back! Arrived 10DEC. So somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks from first contact to product returned. I only had to pay the freight out there. Top rung. "Apparently a c-clip popped off the WE shaft." They buffed up my glass for me, put in a new battery and sent along the allen-key bolt to attach to the rail. Of course I took that off and put the thumb screw back on.


Beauty.
