volkov 318 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 So I bought a POSP for a Mosin about a year ago from kalinka.. but it wouldn't fit the rock solid industries scope mount so I put it aside for a year. Found a use for it and put it on a rifle, today I was messing around with it and noticed a very small blemish (maybe crack, maybe chip) in the very bottom right of sight picture. It appears to be on the front lens but I can't feel it with my finger. Basically, I doubt Kalinka is going to take it back a year later, and it doesn't affect the ability to use the scope, but will shooting potentially cause risk to my eyes? I'm tempted to slap it on my 5.45 (currently it's on a .308) and hipfire 100 rounds and see if it worsens. Any thoughts/suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 If it is on the objective, you are probably ok. I've seen Aimpoints with busted objective lenses that still worked and were still being used in combat until they could be replaced in the rear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volkov 318 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 good deal, it seems like such a tiny little nick, really doesn't bother me site picture wise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 if it is a crack and it goes all the way through the lens, the nitrogen might have all escaped. which means you might have issues with it fogging up on the inside from taking the scope through drastic temperature changes, ie. hot day to air condition building.

patriot 7,197 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 You might want to try that windshield crack repair resin. It's worth a shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volkov 318 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 thanks for the responses. I cant actually locate the crack by touch or plain sight, only by looking through the scope and down. Maybe I could put some resin on the general area or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
