View Full Version : Eotech not sitting flush

I picked up a used eotech 552 not too long ago. Noticed it wasnt quite sitting flat on the reciever. It still holds snug, however.

Is this common? I tried installing it on different sections of rail and the problem persists.

We have a mix of over 200 512's and 552's at work on LWRC's and Colts. I've test fired most of them and they are all like this. Some more than others. Had mine on for 3 years without any issue before I noticed it, now it drives me crazy. David

Does it affect your accuracy or is it simply an aesthetic consideration?

Shit. Why on earth did you have to point this out? Now I can't help but notice it on mine.

As long as it doesn't slide, I believe its okay. I had an issue with my XPS where it slid back and forth. I had to put paper in the middle where the optic indeed connects with the picatinny rail to add pressure and stabilize it.

No issues with accuracy that I have seen, but the OCD in me took over once I noticed it. David

Reminds me of the guy who pointed out the scratch on my truck that I had never noticed.

The rail could be off, but my guess is that the angle in which the EOTech grabs the rail is not right. Call them up for a resolution.

I pulled an Aimpoint PRO w/ QRP2 mount off an upper I have laying around and compared it to my EXPS2-0. While the EOTech doesn't appear to be sitting absolutely flush, it is however sitting flat, is locked on tight to the rail and she holds zero. Mine also doesn't look slightly crooked like in the OP's pic. If the QD lever adjustment screw is properly set for secure mounting it ain't going nowhere.

I've not noticed this with either of my EXPS-3's.

Probably because they use a different mounting system.
