Reap IR 60-3 Eyecup

[Spine1]

The new shuttered eye cup works great at night especially, but the attachment to the Reap is flimsy and the cup falls off with the slightest brush against anything especially while carrying with a sling. Snay recommendations how to secure the eye cup?

You might want to put this in the Optics section so someone will actually see it

Thank you Yasherka. Not quite sure how to move. Still a neophyte member, but a quick learner.

I've had the same problem. Complete PITA. Best thing I have found it to wrap some coban tape around it a few times. coban sticks to itself, not the scope.

The Coban idea is great. Over the weekend I rigged a lanyard with 1 mm Vectran you can get online from sailing riggers for Optimist Dinghy sail ties and a small bolt fit into the extra plate mounting hole. I had already moved my plate forward a notch to get more rearward position from the back of my Picatinny rail. Hopefully if I knock the eye cup off I won’t lose it this time. Coban would have been much simpler.
