Isamu Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yeah, me neither, I prefer not having the front sight in the way but the build im thinking on use the regular triangle front sightand I prefer the optics sitting slightly over the sight to make the aiming less uncomfortable. Worst case scenario I might try to make a MGS4 M4 Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Im sorry for the slight nechro and double post, but because im cheap I waited until today to buy the sight because I found at aliexpress a seller with this: Atacs water transfer, what seems to be a fuly ltraded sight, same QD lever AND killflash, not a bad deal for 95$, not exactly cheap, but its the price to pay Will report again when it gets home EDIT: DERP! forgot the link ^_^U http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2013-Trijicon-SRS-1x38-solar-sight-with-Anti-Reflection-Device-for-airsoft-A-tacs-via-by/1112589176.html Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner168 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I actually just need the ARD but they don't sell it separately Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Some shops sell it separately, but in lots, big lots, shoot them an email, you may be lucky Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I figured that too. Searched and saw them for $7 or so shipped and thought awesome. Then I saw it was for 200 units Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 yes, i searched for them separately and see if I could save some bucks, but I ended buying the package out of lazyness... maybe one shop selling the sight+ard pack could sell you one ard alone. I think its worth trying Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 If anyone finds a store that sells them individually, please post link here. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Try asking AliExpress wholesalers if they can sell them to individual clients. Sometimes they respond. As for shipping times, they're around three weeks on average, based on my previous experience with other stuff I ordered from there. Sometimes they're fast, sometimes they screw up terribly (those guys are pretty much eBay stores all put together in one place), and sometimes it's China Post that screws up.

Isamu Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Im Sorry I cant post pics, but I just recieved the srs clone I ordered and I have to say that chas words dont do it justice, period, so I will make his words mine and will just make some little punctuations. His only gripe was windage was not adjustable, mine is, but the screws feel a bit weak, no positive click when turning them. Besides that, the sight is perfect. it looks a bit bulky and feels heavy, but its actually almost the same size as as an XPS and even lighter. The Atacs camo looks awesome and the markings, full markings to be precise, only make it look better from close inspection. Now I just need to sell my other red dots and buy another one Link to post Share on other sites
Kunlun Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Isamu, do you have a link? I am considering buying one to put on my shotgun ... EDIT: saw your previous post Any chance you can post a picture of it on a shotgun if you happen to have one? Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Im sorry, I dont own a shotgun Be sure it will look fat and bulky, but its functionality is well worth it Link to post Share on other sites

kojak Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 That replica ARD (as seen bundled with the QD model) is threaded wrong for the non-QD SRS. My guess would be that they're from different OEMs. I was able to remove the collar and wedge the tapered ARD into place by force, but this puts the flange deep enough to interfere with battery removal. That's not good, because there seems to be battery drain while the unit is off. Gratuitous CQBR porn: Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Quite possible, I have no issues removing the battery compartment neither I observed battery drain when powered off Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Mine's just a pain to replace because the ARD has to be removed first due to the way I bodged it in, hence the photo showing the overlap. Reading this thread over it looks like there are really two completely different replicas. The thumbscrew version has full trades, orange lens coating, different threads, and I didn't get the zeroing issues Chas mentioned. The faux solar panel is not a sticker, just a printed sheet under a rigid frosted plastic shield that pops off easily. I'm going to have to glue mine back on. Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Kojak, am I right in inferring that if the thumbscrew version has trades and an orange lens coating, the QD version doesn't have either of those things? Which would be the best to buy out of the two, if that's correct? Link to post Share on other sites

PureSilver Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Let's see that from the top down, and we'll talk about which is bulky. By my count all up the Trijicon SRS is also the heaviest at 391g (Eotech 553 349g, Aimpoint Comp M4 335g), and (not including mount, since I can't find its width with the mount anywhere) the widest at 63.5mm (Aimpoint Comp M4 53mm, Eotech 553 49mm). It might be the shortest but it's not exactly a small sight. Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 You're talking about replicas or RS sights?Anyway, as long as it sits near the mass center, it shouldn't be much problem with those differences . Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I've never seen the QD version in person, I was just making comparisons based on Chas's review. I think the tint might be similar on both, mine has an orange coating on the front and a slight blue tint when looking through the sight. Mine also has noticeable vertical parallax, but for airsoft purposes this isn't a big deal as long as you have a cheek weld.

PureSilver Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I absolutely despise clone QD systems; the metal they're made out of is either very soft so it breaks the first time you tighten it or easily fatigued so it breaks the tenth time you tighten it. Plus, it's easy to over-tighten QD levers, damaging the equally soft metal of most airsoft AR15s, and I find you can never get them 'just right' - either they're too loose, or you think you're going to break the lever. Thumbscrews all the way for me. Looks like both sights have pros and cons, then; thanks for laying them out! You're talking about replicas or RS sights?Anyway, as long as it sits near the mass center, it shouldn't be much problem with those differences . The real thing, since that's a Stickman photo. The worst sight for weight is by far still the Elcan SpectreDR 1-4x, at 640g. No wonder it always feels like it's trying to turn your rifle upside-down! Link to post Share on other sites
