  • Elcan sprectre DR off to one side - HELP

    Hi guys,

    I bought a ACM Elcan spectre off someone a while ago, Ive only just skirmished it last weekend.

    optic is v clear, though I have now discovered, from using it in game that the sights are slightly out... even when I adjust it all the way to one side, its slightly out... now has anyone else had this problem and has anyone been able to fix it?

    Ive tried putting a wedge in one side where it connects to the RIS, but it is still out slightly... im hoping this can easily be taken apart and by adjusting a few bits be fixed.

    cheers

    it means the optic itself is internally out of alignment as it 'floats' inside the tube.

      I mean I put the sight all the way to the left as far as it goes by adjusting the dials... It still needs to go to the left slightly... Hope that makes sense...

            I haven't ever used a spectre, but did have an ACM 4x32 acog with a similar problem and was told to tap the adjusters afterwards to 'seat' it. It worked really well and I actually had to dial it back to centre again after this.

            Don't go overboard, I used a 2p coin on the edge and gave it a few, think somewhere between a tapping a broken watch and a Terry's chocolate orange

                yeah but not real hard, you don't want to mess it up internally.

                it worked fine and like I say I had to dial the adjusters back a bit after, I was told apparently its quite a common thing with the ACM sights.

                  I'm not sure how hitting a screw could help....

                    this was the video I was linked to as I couldn't see it helping either, skip to around 3:20-3:30ish

                    some comments on it say never heard of it whilst a couple support it. Either way it worked for mine whilst I had it.

                            Good glad to hear it matey, hope you get it bang on when you got the range.

                            also I bet you're glad its kinda working now as I hate that feeling you get when you think you have pissed money down the drain.
