This did not work for me at all! I tried this when they first came out & DID NOT do a damn thing! Those red wires....watch out, they detach from the circuit board in no time. I hope this works out for someone, maybe I just had a really bad one!

[Danke]

The one I pulled apart had a shot out front lens so it was more of a lets see what happens instead of a wow this worked well situation. It wasn't in worse shape when I was done with it but I sure wish there was an easy way to pull the lenses!

Why would they include those 2 springs in the first place, if they knock out the adjustments?

It's not a case of why they'd do it, it's more a case of sometimes copies don't work as well as the originals.

OMG, this actually fixed mine!!! NOTE: You have to reset the adjustment before you do the modification.

I recently got a replica eo-tech and it has absolutely no internal wiring. Can some get a diagram or post a picture of how the wireing goes and where?

Um....thread necro.

Also return whatever shit you bought. There's plenty of holo sights out in the world that ...well...work.
