Isamu Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Glad to hear you could solve the issue with the shop mate! How many intensity levels dosnit feature? 5 as stated by the shop? Thanks,if the one im waiting for is good enough i will grab this improved version Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Nope, not 5, not even 19 - this time it had 20, as it should be. So, as You can see it's a total progress . Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thats great to hear mate! Seems like I will be getting one for my MP5 build EDIT: Forgot to ask, Do you use any lens protector? looking for one, but I only find the ugly meshes or the sight deforming transparent ones =S Link to post Share on other sites
intinerious Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thats great to hear mate! Seems like I will be getting one for my MP5 build EDIT: Forgot to ask, Do you use any lens protector? looking for one, but I only find the ugly meshes or the sight deforming transparent ones =S I think the GunsModify ones have a clear, undeformed sight picture. However, they are slightly teal in tint The Element one I have also slightly deforms the sight picture in front of the dot (the dot remains okay)...not a dealbreaker for CQB but I suppose it gets distracting when you're shooting out to long ranges with the dot sight....which is further worsened if you run those 3x magnifiers (but those replicas suck anyway ) Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks, I have made a quick search for the guns modify one, and it doesnt look teal... not at least at guns modify site, well, not a problem to be honest Link to post Share on other sites
intinerious Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'll check again on Wednesday at WGC I'm not entirely sure whether the picture is undeformed but they're advertised as being the same stuff as your ballistic goggles...so the view should be undeformed Don't quote me on it yet XD Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 They made a test at their site and the gunsmodify lens seems to not deform the view, at least not as exageratedly as the Element one WGC has them out of stock until 30 of november, or so they say in their webshop, as soon as they get them back Im getting a couple for my incoming XPS2 clones... well, one is coming, the other one will be as soon as I buy the (censored) MP5 Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I just took a piece of some thin poliester (0,5 mm) and cut it to the shape. It doesn't deform the view at all, but of course is rather disposable . And I don't know how it works with magnifiers. Some "historical" pic, because I don't own this one anymore : Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I saw this DIY mod from old glasses lenses http://www.filairsoft.com/forum/showthread.php?t=111200 Fortunatly I have some spares in the drawer... Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 It's better looking (aesthetically) solution, but I doubt if it's good that protector is in contact with lens... Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I dont think a BB hit can transfer enough force to break the lens behind the DIY protector, it is more probable that the protector will jump of its place due to the hit. To be honest, im more worried about the protector staying in place without any "wings", just by friction... Link to post Share on other sites
pamparius Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 will it withstand GBBR recoil? Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 What do You mean exactly ? Sight or protector itself ? Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I believe he is worried about the guns recoil to break the sight internals, I understand his question, my ICS M4 sportline broke my G&P COMP2, but thats just because im a fan of Jeremy Clarkson, "POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR" Link to post Share on other sites
IronWolf Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I've an older model element XPS on a 416 GBBR. It maintains it's zero but the inner cylinder that houses the battery does tend so shake itself outward, this is an easy fix with a little glue to secure the battery housing in place.

Extraordinaire Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I've been waiting for this. I was using the OPMOD replica on my MK18, but it never really did it for me. I always wanted the side buttons in the correct spot and the mount to be correct. Seems my wish has been granted. The next thing to fix is the oversized battery compartment screw. I ordered mine last night from ShooterCBgear. Super excited. -Ex Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 You forgot that little link attached between hood and battery screw . But honestly, I don't think we can get any closer to original - I'm fine with this level of accuracy in detail reproduction . Edit: Did I mentioned the buttons work a bit loose ?

Ballistic Tsunami Airsoft Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Hey guys, can anyone recommend their favorite eotech for cqb? No tint = win for me. Trades and all that are nice but not a deal breaker. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Fruitcage! just bought the DE version from CQBgear... along some other gear (Gundam: operation British patch FTW!!!) Will try to make a review of it as soon as it arrives if christmas doesnt delay it... too much Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 im sorry for the double post, just wanted to post impressions on the "old gen OPMOD" model, I just recieved it and im quite happy with it, I have to test it in the field though, but its promissing and if the new one I ordered is really an improvement as has been said here, the sight is just a bargain. BTW: I just added an orange Oring to the battery screw, not for waterproofing at all, it just looks fashionable Link to post Share on other sites
Extraordinaire Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm in love. -Ex Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Mine is "en route" and hype "in crescendo" Hope it arrives at the same week as the lens protectors, im hesitant to field it... "unprotected" Link to post Share on other sites
Zereck Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I guess many of You, just like me, always wanted Eotech replica, but externaly executed to look like real one.So far any single Eo clone from China was made with some flaws, and inaccuracies - wrong fonts, wrong spelling, no logo, wrong hood shape, wrong QD mounts, wroooooong colour (DE variants). That should be the full list . And suddenly, I saw this. http://www.shootercbgear.com/product_info.php?products_id=5930 Now, just give me DE version with the same color as OPMOD clones ! Enjoy. (or not) Just to confirm: does the linked EXPS have 20 brightness level or 5? Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Well, it varies . From 19 to 20. I don't know what the heck is ther reason of that, but I had one OPMOD edition, and two newest edition EXPS clones in my hands. OPMOD had 19, black EXPS had 20, and my current DE unit has 19 brightness levels.LOL Link to post Share on other sites
