    How do I replace the fiber optics on top of Acogs?

    I ordered an ACOG TA31F, I am wondering is there a way I can replace the fiber optics (the clear plastic cover)? Since there are some small cracks and air bubbles in the fiber optics due to the sun-damage.a And how much is the price range going to be for replacing this fiber optics? thank you for taking your time reading this.

    Contact Trijicon.
    If it's under warranty, they'll fix it.

      ACOGs have a fiber optic on the top that collects light to illuminate the reticle. They also have radioactive tritium inside that causes phosphor to illuminate the reticle even when there is no light coming through the fiber optic. The OP is asking about replacing the fiber optic light collector and not the tritium light generator.

        Mine came from the factory with air bubbles. It works great. Is it not gathering enough light or is it just something you just noticed?

          With the cost of a ACOG, I could buy another AR or two Eotechs.
