    Rifle Scopes BC Flip up sizes

    Re: BC Flip up sizes IOR 6.5-24x56 FFP Objective 51 Eye The 18 will fit but it is absolutely too tight, go the next size up. I fought putting the 18 on for 10 minutes after boiling in water. It works but you will need to pry it on. Note: I left the rubber eye ring on the eye piece.

    Re: Cleaning a crown with a brake Thanks Jim, I'll give Mark a shout and ask him if he used a thread locker. Maybe I'll pop it off and see if my POI comes back into shape and then go from there.
