Bangla_Black Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Samurai RDS ACOG (cross reticle) Review *I have lost the 2 screws in a skirmish, so please do not ask me where they are. Packaging and First impressions.The box. Inside, the acog rests on some foam inserts. Upon removing the rds, the first thing that i noticed is the weight and the color. The acog is matt black and is full metal. It weighs around 200-300g(not really exact). The finish is good, and the texture is quite unlike anything i've ever seen. Its looks rough, but feels smooth.

Bangla_Black Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) This acog has six levels of brightness and the knob clicks very solidly into place. First level Second Third Fourth Fifth (brightest) Sixth (off) Installing the batteries. This acog uses 2 LR44 batteries. (The ones that came with the pakaging were rubbish. I discarded them immediately.) Edited May 22, 2008 by Bangla_Black Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bangla_Black Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) A look at the battery cap. (Note the o-ring) Windage and elevation. The caps are full metal, and the insides looks filthy. (Again, note the o-rings) Rail. The 2 screws in the middle can be removed, to allow the acog to be fitted into an armalite carrying handle (not tried). I don't think it will fit before some filing, as it may be to wide, to accommodate the batteries. (Note the rust) Before losing the two nuts, the acog fitted onto 20mm rails with no wobble at all. Glass. The glass is clear is of decent quality. It may shatter on impact with a bb. A look through the acog. The front. Edited May 22, 2008 by Bangla_Black Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bangla_Black Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Rubber eyepeice. The rubber eyepeice is removable. The telfon tape was added by me to prevent the eyepeice from popping out accidentally (never happened before). Disassembly. Yes it can be disambled. Just remove the 4 hex screws here. Note the o-ring The insides were not painted properly, but who cares.. Nobody is going to take a look inside. * The acog can function without the back part.

Bangla_Black Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Testing. New batteries. Alright, the reticle is darn right hard to take a picture of, so bear with these.. (all on brightest mode) Best pic^ The reticle is really nice, i must say. PROS + Solild + Heavy + Waterproof + Works great + No ghosting CONS - Paint comes off easily, when knocked against a hard surface - Some parts rust - Cheap wiring inside And there you have it, the Samurai Red dot Acog. Thanks for viewing. Edited May 22, 2008 by Bangla_Black Quote Link to post Share on other sites
