JamesAirsofterAgent Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi, Was looking at purchasing this sight: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FWLW3FW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A38YV9ZPUEM9U9&psc=1 Then using this protector: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tactical-QMFIVE-Shooting-Protector-Foldable/dp/B06XZR34YH/ref=pd_bxgy_3/258-0770023-6172357?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06XZR34YH&pd_rd_r=5b2faf8e-5b48-4029-a250-03fd9c9d73de&pd_rd_w=1yESv&pd_rd_wg=D1qMi&pf_rd_p=dcf35746-0212-418b-a148-30395d107b2d&pf_rd_r=KEPRF6GJZSX6VE6V3J5F&psc=1&refRID=KEPRF6GJZSX6VE6V3J5F However, apparently the protector can shatter very easily. So I was thinking about using polycarbonate to make a protector to fit the size required and use that instead as something that can take more hits in CQB. Problem is I don't know anything about it. So found these methods: https://imgur.com/a/IJuDpfm https://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/dawllb/how_to_diy_lens_protector_from_2mm_polycarbonate/ Just double checking I'm not making a major mistake before I go ahead and buy. Thanks all, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groot Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hey chap, You can low key sort it easier. I got some flat normal plastic. Cut it and heat bent some prongs and 8 years later. My real eotech is still intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could throw some washers on there, but I agree that DIYing it with polycarb is the way to go, since then you know what you've got. 2mm is more than sufficient for airsoft use. A jigsaw will cut it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesAirsofterAgent Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Just finished making for tomorrows game. Hoping the 2mm withstands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 A bit late but just came to say that it withstood many a direct hit well, a lot cheaper than getting those little plastic flip up protectors every time. Would definitely recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
