Having owned numerous Aimpoint T1s since 2007, and later, T2, Forward Controls Design (FCD) are quite fond of these small, tough, and fully enclosed dot sights. Their only gripe has always been the elevation and windage adjustment arrangement. If you're a T1/T2 you probably share their frustration, and have lost a cap or two over the years. On a T1/T2, to adjust either the elevation or windage, the user unscrews the cap, flips it 180 degrees, mates the two dots/protrusions with the two indentations on the sight adjustment, and rotates the cap, which in turn rotates the adjustment dial. As often is the case, adjustment isn't done in a single step. The user makes the estimated adjustment, fires to verify the zero, and repeats if necessary. The caps are rather short and small, and get lost easily. Such is the diminutive size of the caps it's not easy to dummy wire them. In any case, the sight itself is small and lacks much usable space for the tethering wire to loop onto. ATA (Adjustable Turret cap, Aimpoint Micro) is a simple and robust solution. ATA gives the user the ability to make adjustments to either the windage or elevation without removing the caps. ATA consists of a pair of 17-4 SS billet machined cap with internal O ring, and a 17-4 SS rotating disc with an externally accessible top slot. The disc has two dots/protrusions that mate perfectly with the two indentations of the adjustment dial on the sight. To make adjustments to either the windage or elevation, the user uses the rim of a cartridge (.223, .308, .45 ACP, and 9mm were tested) or a coin to rotate the externally accessible disc of the ATA. ATA's caps are serrated to assist in its installation. There are 12 serrations total, matching the tick marks on the inside of the factory T1 cap. The internal O ring prevents undue moisture from entering the ATA. In water immersion testing, ATA's ability to keep out water is on par with the single piece factory cap, to the depth of 77ft. To wit, T1 and T2 windage and elevation adjustments are water resistant even without the caps, they can't be taken to Aimpoint specified depths without the caps on, Aimpoint only warranties the sights to the advertised depths with the caps installed. When installing the ATA, please do not remove the O rings already present on the sight. ATA is billet machined in 17-4 stainless steel, and QPQ treated. ATA is shipped partially assembled (O ring is installed inside the cap, the disc is not installed inside the cap). It is far faster and easier to install the ATA on the sight with the cap and disc separated (instructions are provided on the back of the card). In place of the factory marking UP/R with a counter clockwise arrow, ATA's discs have the counter clockwise arrow, but individual caps for UP and R. As much as it may seem common sense that the elevation adjustment is always on top, and the windage adjustment is always on the side, the marking UP/R can be confusing to new shooters. At the risk of being redundant, the ATA disc with the UP engraving is installed on top (for elevation), the disc with R engraving is installed on the right side (for windage). ATA is shipped as a pair of caps and discs (one with UP and a counter clockwise pointing arrow engraved, and another with R and a counter clock wise pointing arrow engraved). ATA caps ship with lubricated O rings installed. ATA is proudly made in USA. U.S. Patent No. 11,054,218 NOTE: The adjustment caps on the T1/T2 are NOT interchangeable with those on the M5. ATA is shipped with the internal O ring already installed. It is a good idea to keep the O rings (both the O rings on the base of the adjustments, and ATA's internal O rings) lubricated with silicon based lubrication. In a pinch, petroleum jelly can be used as a substitute, but FCD recommend using the correct lube (silicon based O ring lube) for the ATA. ATA caps should remain stationary when the discs are rotated, though it is acceptable for the ATA caps to rotate 90 degrees in either direction as long as the caps still apply pressure on the O ring on the base of the adjustment. When there is excessive cap movement (i.e. the caps easily moves in unison with the disc while making adjustment), silicon based O ring lubricant should be applied to ATA's internal O ring. ATA disc's engravings are small, as the discs are small. For better visibility, white crayon or Laquer-stik (on Amazon) can be used to fill in the engraving. ATA consists of 2 caps and 2 discs.
Améliore ton expérience de tir avec le capuchon de tourelle ajustable ATA !
Depuis 2007, Forward Controls Design (FCD) a possédé de nombreux Aimpoint T1 et T2, et ils sont très attachés à ces petites lunettes de point robustes et entièrement fermées. Leur seule critique a toujours été le système d'ajustement de l'élévation et du vent. Si tu possèdes un T1 ou un T2, tu partages probablement leur frustration et tu as peut-être perdu un capuchon ou deux au fil des ans.
Fonctionnalités du produit
- Ajustements faciles de l'élévation et du vent sans retirer les capuchons.
- Fabriqué en acier inoxydable 17-4 SS, usiné en billettes.
- Disque rotatif avec fente supérieure accessible de l'extérieur.
- Capuchons avec des rainures pour une installation facile.
- Résistance à l'eau comparable à celle du capuchon d'origine.
Pour ajuster l'élévation ou le vent, il te suffit d'utiliser le bord d'une cartouche (.223, .308, .45 ACP, et 9mm ont été testés) ou une pièce de monnaie pour faire tourner le disque accessible de l'ATA. Les capuchons sont conçus pour rester en place pendant que tu effectues des ajustements, mais il est acceptable qu'ils tournent de 90 degrés dans les deux sens tant qu'ils exercent toujours une pression sur le joint torique à la base de l'ajustement.
Installation et entretien
Lors de l'installation de l'ATA, ne retire pas les joints toriques déjà présents sur la lunette. L'ATA est expédié partiellement assemblé, avec le joint torique installé à l'intérieur du capuchon. Il est recommandé de garder les joints toriques lubrifiés avec un lubrifiant à base de silicone. En cas de besoin, tu peux utiliser de la vaseline comme substitut, mais FCD recommande d'utiliser le lubrifiant approprié (lubrifiant à base de silicone pour joints toriques) pour l'ATA.
Inclus dans l'emballage
L'ATA est expédié en tant que paire de capuchons et de disques, un avec l'inscription UP et une flèche pointant dans le sens antihoraire, et l'autre avec l'inscription R et une flèche pointant également dans le sens antihoraire. Les capuchons de l'ATA sont fièrement fabriqués aux États-Unis et sont protégés par le brevet américain n° 11,054,218.
Note : Les capuchons d'ajustement sur le T1/T2 ne sont PAS interchangeables avec ceux du M5.
