Sigh. Yet another Eotech has gone down due to delamination. Of the last 3 Eotechs I've owned, each and every one has eventually suffered from the same problem.
If you're not familiar with it, here's a vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJixnTTKgiM
The first unit, an EXPS2-0, was sent back for repairs and returned to me in full working order. I ended up selling it with a rifle in a package deal.
The second unit, another EXPS2-0, was sent back for repairs and returned to me, but it still suffered from the issue slightly. Because they never got it fully fixed, I sent it back for a refund earlier this year.
The last unit, an EXPS3-0, was working fine the last time I used it, which was maybe 6 months ago. At that point, it was stored in the factory clamshell box in my garage and left untouched until now. The unit was manufactured Jan 2104. I purchased it July 2014. It never saw any hard use and spent most of its time in the box.
The point of this thread?
If any of you have Eotechs that have been sitting for a few months, it would be a good idea to check them to make sure they haven't suffered the same fate as mine.
Fortunately for me, Eotech is still accepting returns and issuing refunds. If/when they stop the program, I have no doubt they'd be willing to repair the problem. But at this point, with what I've experienced, why would I even want another Eotech?
