Trilux (SUIT) update

[bigduke6]

Regarding a spring i was after for my Trilux scope, i tracked one down and the sight now sits on the mount i have for my AR15.
I was offered 4 for a reasonable price so i got them, pics below show my original on the mount , and also the 4 i picked up, one i kept for spares, sold one for £95 and have 2 left i was going to put these on the WTS part of the forum, or on ebay.
They do need a bit of TLC, lens are ok just the paintwork and some of them have had the rubber eye piece glued, plus the tritrium vials have been removed possibley by Bubba, small part of the casing that held the circ clip in damaged see pics compared with my original one.

I have a Trilux (SUIT) scope on one of my LIAI's and am not quite sure if it is mounted securely enough on the rifle to get anything in the way of repeatable accuracy. I am used to scopes being mounted firmly on the receiver, so this mousetrap-spring arrangement on the Trilux doesn't look to be a very robust arrangement. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. I also have the Trilux manual, but it is not of much help.

There is a bit of a knack to fitting the sight to the cover and you're right ....., it will jump off on the first shot if it's not fitted securely - much to the amusement of everyone else on the firing point. It's not tyhe ssort of thing you can explain. It's a pictorial thing
