Does anyone make the washers to make a nightforce have zero stop? Thanks
Rifle Scopes Zero Stop Washers
Re: Zero Stop Washers
Be very careful if you use them and strip out the threads of the elevation and windage turrets your warranty is VOID. And you foot the bill for repair.

Re: Zero Stop Washers
yes but does anyone make them anymore?

Re: Zero Stop Washers
No one in their right mind on this site will make them so you can damage your scope. Use your head and think about this.

Re: Zero Stop Washers
i use them you would have to be a fuckin dumbass to twist hard enough to strip the threads.........there use to be a good source for them, but because of a few you cant get them anymore. they are real simple maybe you could source washers that will work.

Re: Zero Stop Washers
Thank you Donovan I was thinking the same thing. If you can strip them with the washers, then you could stip them without the washers. When it stops don't turn it anymore.

Re: Zero Stop Washers
I had a set that was made by the previous owner of my NF. They worked great and yes, when the turret no longer moves you stop turning. It isn't really rocket science.
Anyway, I just sold the scope and the handmade zero stops. Good luck on finding some that work for you.

Re: Zero Stop Washers
I have a set and they work like a zero stop should. Yes they void your warranty if you strip the threads but you would have to go out of you way and almost do it on purpose.

Re: Zero Stop Washers
Same here, I use them in two NXSs and a few Leupolds with no problems. Never heard of anyone stripping the threads. And I have no problems paying for the repair if I strip the threads. Probably will be cheaper than the factor NF zero stop anyway.

Re: Zero Stop Washers
Me and my shooting buddy have been using a set for about a year now, work good (mine is set so can dial under about 2MOA + come back up to 0). Don't go gorilla on your knob (either one)

Re: Zero Stop Washers
I'd really like to have a set. Anyone know where a man could get a set these days?

Re: Zero Stop Washers
Guys with the Nightforces with the Zero stop. How does it work different than the washers? I have no idea how they work. I was wanting to add a Zero stop to my Falcon some how. Are washer zero stop the only option?

the NF zero stop is a dandy piece of micro engineering that emplys a clutch type mechanism.....the washers are just a finely engineered end for the screw stem that abates any further movement....they are laser cut to several different dimensions .

Re: Zero Stop Washers
So the clutch lets the turret free spin at the stop or it stops it cold? If you guys run across any body with these please post. I was thinking about having a machinist buddy make a collar that you could adjust up and down on the knob with set screws and have some one etch the collar with the correct numbers and marks so it could be reset easily. Who would engrave it with the correct spacings on the collar.
Thanks again,
Joe

Re: Zero Stop Washers
308 Newb said he does not make them anymore. I think he caught some flack from someone on the forum, and it wasn't worth the headache.

Re: Zero Stop Washers
Measure the OD you need to fit inside the turret cap and go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy several white nylon washers with a close OD (smaller, not bigger), then drill the hole in the center to fit your stem. Stack them up until you get close to where you want and then sand the thickness down to get them perfect. Lay a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface and sand the washer in a figure 8 pattern to reduce the thickness.
I just wanted mine so I could not go a complete turn too far, and have mine adjusted so I have 5-7 MOA or so under.
It's been a long time, and way be remembering wrong, but I think I just stacked up some rubber 0-Rings on my Leupys w/ M1 knobs.

Re: Zero Stop Washers
If anyone is interested I have an extra set of the NF laser cut shims I'd part with.
