Just got word that Element will release thier version of the Flip to side mount that the Airsoft community has been waiting for.

Im watching my inbox for exclusive photos but I do know that these will be out in March. According to my contacts the first batch has already been bought out by http://ebaybanned.com and the retail price of these should be around 20 to 25 USD including shipping.

Also http://ebaybanned.com has the new versions of both the 552 551 Eotech replicas with improved finished that matches the real Eotech and also 100% adjustable no ghosting and not made by Element!!!!

Talking of Element the 553 in DFE will also be re-released durring March with corrections to all the issues that have plagued previous element eotech replicas.

Also soon to be released:

surefire helmet flashlight
Various front sights
Copy of the replica TM tracer (that was discontinued by TM)
metal M4 body in sand
Quality 8 pouch OTV set

Anyway, when i get more news and images I will post them up here!

Woo Hoo, flip to side mount. I seriously considered buying a real steel one. I will wait to see how the eotech holds up, as I was gutted with my last one.

I hope they make some Troy flip up sights and somegood HK (M4 bitch, yeah) sights too, with the numbers and stuff.

Ok I must be out of the loop, can someone post a pic of what this thingy is?

[PlasticMag]

I assume it's this mount-

Ah I see, well I am interested

Eo looks better but it still has a major problem that I didnt see on the real EoTech I babysitted for 2 weeks. If you look in the pictures at ebay banned of the larger of the two you can see the projector glare from the lights down there. Now the EoTech I played with did not have this glare or if it did it wasent noticable through the optic. From their picture it looks rediculously heavy making this less pleasing. Although it's a step in the right direction and maybe another step torwards me buying one (the real Eo was nice but it would only work on my M16A4 as they dont look too great on M14's)

How come most people say RDS sights are better than magnifying ones and then averybody raves when somebody brings out a magnifying accesory for an RDS?

[galactica]

Best of both worlds! And, I guess, the recent proliferation of the ACM Aimpoint 3x which is ace. Works a beauty behind my Eotech on a 36c rail. Quick flick and it's off into my dump pouch and we're CQB again!

Woot! I busted my TM one a while back and been trying to get a replacement for a while. Hope it's out soon

Finally a tracer clone...Been needing nother one of these, Oh yeah!

[uscmCorps]

I was really tempted to buy a real EOTech or Aimpoint 3x magnifier. I bought the Aimpoint 3x clone (which was complete sh*t), and I was thinking of buying the real deal as I figured it'll actually work with my real holos whereas my replicas were having horrible alignment issues. But thinking about it more... TBH, for AEGs I just don't see the need for it. It's not like our guns are accurate enough to really take full advantage of the 3x magnification. Which is why as far as I'm concerned I'll keep the replica around for the look, but I'll never use one in game.

If I do decide to get a decent magnified optic, I may just go with LaRue's Po'Boy Special.

[galactica]

just for the record...real eotech, fake aimpoint 3x = no alignment issues. I figure it'll just help spotting hits when doing some countersniping

For ~$50 for the FTS mount and the Aimpoint replica....it'd just get it for the look.....if nothing else.

Glad I'm not the only one to encounter that. With all the cheap Tasco optics and such out there with decent alignment, I can't for the life of me understand why the cloners couldn't even get the replica 3x alignment in the right ball park.

If there is a ACM TROY sight set in the works, then it will be mine.

Just to clarify, my EoTech (real) and the new ACM Aimpoint 3x magnifier exhibit no alignment issues, it's all good! Not tried it with a fake EoTech.

Ahhh... my bad. Well then my experience was the complete opposite. Perhaps my 3x mag was a lemon. But it didn't work with any of my RS Eotechs (tried with 1 551, 2 552s, and a 553). It was definitely the 3x mag.
