G&P ACOG 4x32 recticle adjustment

[ybrik]

Tried to adjust the crosshairs but it wouldn't move. This is the non- illuminated type. I even opened the horizontal and vertical knobs and did not find anything special as to how it will do the adjusting of the recticles.

Only saw a nub that will click against a grooved thread once turned.

Is it really adjustable?

[pugs144]

Yes. That nub is what does it.

[ybrik]

But the nub is not even connected in a way or in the lens that it could have adjusted the recticle.

[pugs144]

You're referring to the nub with the slot for a flathead screwdriver, right?

[ybrik]

Yup. It came to a point I fully loosened and tightened the adjustment screws for both and nothing happened.

[Strelok]

There could be the possibility where the inner lense adjuster-screw things (Don't know what to call them) have disconnected from the adjustment screws from being untightened too much.

Has happened to a couple of my sights.

I will post pics of this one tonight.

When you unscrew the top, the lens should be pushing up by a spring from the bottom. Same as the one on the side. If possible , unscrew both of them. But be aware of a little spring and metal ball for click use if having one, don't drop them. Now you may try to use a pin to push inside see if you are able to push the len in, when release the pin, the len should be spring back out. If it is not moving , that could be stuck or something. Let's see what you could find out. Good luck.

I don't see a spring inside when I unscrew both the windage and elevation adjustments. Will post pics when I get home.

[N_Force]

Don't worry about the springs, and you may try to use a pin or small screwdriver lightly to push both inside see if you are able to push the len in, also when you release it, the len should be spring back. That's the way to check if the len is movable and able to be adjusted. If it is not moving , that could be stuck or something. If it does move, it's nothing wrong.
What would you find?

Make sure you have enough distance from your target when sighting in.

-Got this 5 years ago used.


-The adjusting screw


-Nub on the screw


-A look inside.

Actually I pushed that thing inside and it is spring loaded for both the elevation and windage. Put the adjusting screws again until it screws on tight but the recticle/crosshair doesn't move.

My issue is crosshair a bit off to the left. I haven't done test shots yet sighting in this scope. I could only tell it's off to the left when I sight through the scope and reference my front sight with the crosshair, it is not aligned with the front sight. Is this normal?

[N_Force]

Look like your scope is okay.
Let's go back to the starting again. Seems like you may not notice the fine adjustment when you turn the nub.
Once you attach the scope , doesn't mean that the cross hair might align with the iron sights. Always a bit off. That's why you need to sight it in.
Lock or clamp your rifle with scope attached and keep it stay in one spot if possible. Set a piece of paper target with a cross sign in a short distance and aim the scope to the cross. Adjust the scope see if you see any change to find out if the scope is adjustable. hope it helps.
Remember , this is just a piece of toy, a piece of replica. If it is off too much, sometimes you have to do something on the rail to make it work.

[ybrik]

Will do as advised.
I should have not compared this magnified scope with an RDS where the dot is easily adjusted with reference to the front sight.

When you make the adjustment, giver the optic a good smack with your hand while the optic is mounted. (like the Trijicon, adjustment are made at the prisim so if you don't smack it, adjustment won't be made)
