brittle eye covers

[dstdub]

broke my eye cover when i tried to take it off & broke my spare when i tried to put it back on. And yes i did it as recommended by wdp.

it's just killing me how stupid issues like "brittle eye covers" can bring the value of a gun down. i dunno why everything else is well designed but the eye covers by design, takes a lot of skill to remove and reinstall. IT'S A FREAKING EYE COVER!

what's so wrong with incorporating screws for the eye covers to make it easier?

just bitching coz i have to shell out 20$ & shipping for new covers....

Are they the new style eye covers? Because if they are then I don't see the problem. I've taken my eye covers off and put them on at least 5 time (for detentes) without problem so you must be doing something wrong.

How do you tell if you have the new eye covers or the old ones?

thats how, and from what i gather there are 2.A's out now too

Alot of people don't like the design, specially me. I've broken one already and bi*%hed about it. BUT, I've come to find that if removed properly, not saying you didn't, they shouldn't brake. Not saying they won't, but shouldn't. But a word of advise, keep a spare handy, its only an extra 10 bucks or whatever, and it could save your but in a bad situation.

I honestly like the idea of consumable parts. I would much rather break a piece of plastic and replace it with another 12 dollar item than breaking metal eyes and having to buy a 20+ dollar eye cover. Also less weight and imho better looking!

proof?

my word?
aint that enuff?
i'm not going to make my team m8
remove his covers just to take a photo,
he got it 2 weeks ago, during a turney.

Its weird that wdp would release 2•A eye covers without making an announcement...

[|ZooT]

Yeah, thou the markings could be a misstake (find that hard to beleave).
Seen 2.A with my own eyes, and it was WAY stiffer then the 1.A

[|ZooT]

I'll try to get him to take a photo,
but.. he's broken 3 sets now and..
still hasnt gotten the hang of it. :P

He told me he could photo as long
as i pay for a new set if they break :D

2A does exist. We got a few of them at the CFOA event in Feb. I am not sure, but they "felt" stiffer than the 1As I had. Either way, the only time I had a problem with the eye covers was in 30 degree weather. The plastic doesn't give very much when cold.

[paco2838]

Ah wtf i just looked at my spare eye covers and they were the 1's thats bull i bought them after this news was recessed. Damn you Bob!!!!

[BustA]

haha bobs a cool guy, just send him an email and he will proably replace them for you.

[|ZooT]

..I am not sure, but they "felt" stiffer than the 1As I had.. yeah the 2.A that we replaced with where significantly thicker ie stiff as a woody!..

[tgallo]

proof?

All I have are 2.As. I had assumed that anything with .A is new. Notice in the update it says (new code = •A).....not even mentioning the number before it

1a-2a shows us they are the latest eye cover strap and which pocket in the mold they came out of.

[BustA]

bob what is the significance of which pocket in the mold they came out of?

one thing i noticed about the 1•A eye coveres is that they were a lot stronger and a lot more stiff than the 1 eye covers. They 1•A eye covers also seemed to be a much more snug fit and harder to get on. I ended up gouging the corners of the eye covers just trying to push them in because they didnt want to go in....its almost like it didnt fit and i had to force it...

[BoB]

There is no significance other than for quality control purposes.
