Shattered 551 Red Dot Sight Lens

[FurioAL]

Hi All,

Wondered if anyone can help? I have a replica 551 red dot sight.. When using it for the first time today i got a shot to the lens and it has cracked ?.. Rubbish!!

Does anyone know if you can buy replacement lenses? If so where to source them? Or anyone have any solutions other than buy a lens protector in future!

Many thanks,

Alex

Not sure about replacement lenses but your only real option to prevent it is a protector

Some people have made them out of old goggles/glasses or some perspex that sit under the hood so doesnt stand out

Nope, it's straight to the bin with that i'm afraid.

Man that really sucks - sorry to hear it broke first time out.

You really need either a killflash or a perspex protector of some sort to avoid issues like this.

I appreciate that's a bit late now for you

Hi mate, sorry to hear that your 551 go shot to bits, there are no replacement parts for it, looks like you will have to throw it away an get a new one.

I would recommend this: http://airsoftzone.co.uk/accessories/scopes-and-red-dots/pc-eotech-lens-protector-guns-modify

So far it has done me well is and currently protecting my real steel EOTech 552 sights, it can be a bot of a tight fit so you have to remove the hood and basically slide this into place.

I'll second the airsoftzone protector - its saved my 551 on a few occasions
