RMR dot sight foaming
 

Hey all,

I've gotten an RMR dot sight for my TM HK45 and I'm wondering if it can work with it. I've read that RMR sights tend to lose their zeroing and break, but I've also heard of foaming the inside of the RMR with foam pads (or anything to secure the electrical component) which would increase its durability. Is it true and easy to do?

Thanks

The first gen realsteel RMR's had flickering issues. During the recoil cycle, the battery would momentarily lose connection and cause the dot to flicker. Trijicon themselves make a seal kit that works really well; you might be able to find one of those relatively inexpensively. I'm sure there are other people making them too. It's just a small piece of rubber cut to fit.

So, if we were to pad down the battery in an attempted to prevent it from moving, would that have the same effect?

I would imagine so

Are you using a REAL one or a piece of shit clone (all clones are POS btw)

Probably one of those copies, around 60$ from eBay coming from China. Is there a good intermediate between 60$ and 400$ ones?

I'm using a clone RMR Trijicon on my TM HK45, I have never had an issue with flickering and the RMR has kept it's zero since I set it. I bought my mount plate from Impulse101.jp . So I honestly don't think you need to worry to much about it but a small section of rubber to keep the battery in place wouldn't hurt.
