Hurricane EOTech 556 + Huang EOTech 4x Magnifier

zollen · March 27th, 2010, 23:38

I just purchased the Hurricane EOTech 556 holo-sight and the Huang EOTech 4x magnifier. It seems there is a misalignment between these two optics. The 556 reticule appears at the lower left corner of my magnifier. Would anyone have similar experience and how did you fixed the misalignment?

Thanks in advance.

Ask Huang, He knows which sights work well with the magnifier.

I think I read somewhere that clones often have trouble with alignment issues because their construction isn't to super high standards (you don't mess around with optics).

Ask him to try another one maybe, could just be the one you have. I got a 556 and 3x magnifier together from Huang (probably same company too, something else to consider) and they align just fine.

I suspect they are aligned just find. The 556 supports reticule position adjustment, did you calibrate the reticule position?

is it the co witness issue your talking about ( the mag is higher than the 556 ? ) then you need a riser.

The 556 sight supports reticule position adjustment. I shall calibrate my 556 with my rifle first.

On my magnifier I could also adjust it so it matches the correctly aligned eotech clone just right.

EDIT: Just realized I've went necro on this one, sorry

Might be time to go to bed hehe !!

is there any wiggle room with your magnifier? you may just have to untighten and pivot it so it lines up

I know this thread is a tad old, but have you tried putting some electrical tape on the inside of the ring? Not on the whole thing, but a piece on the side to nudge it slightly to the left or right? It's worked for a lot of people I know.

It's about the pants you're wearing and the pants you're team mate is wearing, Is it real multi cam or is it Chinese repro multi cam? I don't know but in the end it's still multicam.
