renegadecow Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Just saw this today and had to order one. No idea if it copies the same prism technology like the original, but looks like it does. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/FC1-Tactical-Optics-Collimated-Prismatic-Sight-Rifle-Scope-Red-Dot-Fiber-Sight-for-Hunting-Equipment-20/32824684038.html Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Never seen one of these before. What's it's features? Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 That it's not a Trijicon/Aimpoint/EOTech. Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Looks like "normal" reflex to me. BTW I've seen a real DI optic prism sight in person and have made a short vid of that, I'll see if I can pull it out and upload it......... Link to post Share on other sites

renegadecow Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Looks like "normal" reflex to me. Hard to say. In some of the shots you can see some kind of reflective thing going on all over the sides much like the original and you wouldn't need that if it uses the conventional red dot projection method. Then again they could have just put in those surfaces for a prism looking effect only. At any rate, it's only $53 shipped. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Is it just me or does the sight look tilted/angled in a lot of those product pictures? Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Probably from not being screwed on tight. You can see some gaps between the spacer. What I'm more upset about is why they went and published that photo with one of the side plate screws half way out. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 By the way. Whomever is making these, big props for the deluxe cases and full markings and all that. I got my 2016 version ACM RMR from BoomArms and I really liked it overall. Of course being me I haven't actually used it for anything other than looks, but still RS FC1 product page if anyone is interested: http://diopticalusa.com/?page_id=1219 Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 It's a nice touch them small Pelican-like cases. The real one: cardboard! Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Tried it out on a couple of my rifles that i had around, nice little sight... Link to post Share on other sites

renegadecow Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 What's the glass like? Is there glass at all or is it one giant prism like the original? Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_komodo Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Cant really tell if its a prism or a good replica. The dot is projected from the side and is quite different from the other sights that i have (MRO, T-1, T-2, RMR, Eotech) Could easily be a cube prism. The dot is very crisp and like the RS the blooming is visible on the high brightness... Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 OK now I want one lol. Dammit Dj_komodo. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted December 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Finally got this sucker after sitting around in customs for well over three months! Just a quick overview for now: -does indeed look to be prismatic in function. It's just a giant segmented block of glass inside with coatings to act as filters -will be using it in low setting but came with only one screw for the high mount! Do not use high mount with only one screw on especially on a GBBR -mounting screw was assembled skewed at the factory. had to hit it with a hammer to sit properly -glass and electronics appear to have survived being jarred by hammer -parallax correction is very good BUT dot brightness varies depending where on the glass it sits probably due to imperfections in the coatings Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted December 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Just to add: -can be zeroed having plenty of room for adjustment, but have not shot it to see if it holds -since the prism thing is real, it also works against astigmatism like the real one. I have a bit of astigmatism so any conventional red dot I see has a loop on the upper left corner of the dot making it look like a frying pan. On this it's a clean, crisp dot. Says 2moa on the manual but comparing it to my PK-01V with 1.5moa it really looks more like 3-4moa. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 That's very appealing now that I know it's a proper prismatic sight. Let us know if it stands up to recoil! Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted December 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Seems to hold fine on my P90. Just actually zeroing it was a chore. http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/217632-fc1-prismatic-red-dot-clone/ Link to post Share on other sites
R2IN Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Do you have a eotech you can compare it to? I wanna know if it will work on my magnifier, or if I would have to buy an riser if I got this red dot, or could you measure its height from the rail? Thx Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 It's a lower third cowitness on an AR with the riser, about the same with an EOTech. Link to post Share on other sites
