Man, RU-vid has everything…this is exactly the fix I was looking for! I used some wire threads for the crosshairs too - a bit thicker but they do the job well, I may even like them better. Thanks for the post.

@reflactor Год назад

I'm glad it was helpful. This was the first (and hopefully only) time that I've had broken crosshairs. However, I've been told it's quite common.

If you want really strong thin wire find some old fuse wire. It may be hard to find these days with RCCB's, but you used to be able to buy it in various Amp ranges, and therefore thicknesses on a little card from the hardware store.

What i did with mine was put in a vice then used super glue with one of them very very fine nozzle and quick setting spray 2 seconds did one side then pulled it as tight as possible dabbed glue then quick mist of spray came out very taught and clean just a suggestion for you in the future When people tighten the grum screw to tight on a suppressor or put thread lock on it use a electric soldering iron stand tip in the crum screw comes out very easy thought i would tell you that little trick Have fun 👍

@reflactor 4 месяца назад

That is a VERY clever way to make sure there is tension on the filaments! Thank you for this tip.

@christophersherratt7299 4 месяца назад

Sorry for the suppressor thought it was for a Rifle but you may need it if some thing is over tight

@christophersherratt7299 4 месяца назад

For a thinner diameter use the wire from telephone cable usually there 6 colours with very very fine wire in each colour .001

If you search for "scope crosshairs" (I looked for Unertl crosshairs) EBay has repair kits consisting of 3 foot lengths of tungsten wire fairly inexpensively. Sizes range from 0.0005 to 0.0015. Much finer than electrical wire.

Thanks! That is excellent info.

I have a 6524 tasco apartments scope with a broken crosshair I sent it to Bushnell to get it repaired but because it didn't have a warranty they sent it back to me.

Thanks alot bro i fixed my old broken gamo 3-9 40 scope

@reflactor 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback - I'm glad the video was helpful!

@robertsonsid Год назад

Just the project I have been putting off. Thanks for the directions.

@reflactor Год назад

I was apprehensive about it at first, but it ended up being more simple than I expected.

@robertsonsid Год назад

@@reflactor Used strands from speaker wire. Little thicker then original but it will do!

@rayst.2934 Месяц назад

After seeing this video I think I can fix it now

@reflactor Месяц назад

Take your time and I think you'll do a great job.

Εγώ στη δική μου περίπτωση χρησιμοποίησα τρίχες από τα μαλλιά της κόρης μου, σας πληροφορώ ότι ήταν το αποτέλεσμα το αποτέλεσμα εκπληκτικό😊

@reflactor 10 месяцев назад

Σε ευχαριστώ που μοιράστηκες! Αυτό είναι καλό να το γνωρίζουμε. Κάποτε χρησιμοποίησα τρίχες από τη γάτα μου (αυτή ρίχνει πολλά μαλλιά). Χαίρομαι που μπόρεσες να το φτιάξεις.

@TheStevecas9860 Год назад

John I have even used spider web thread it is really fine! or you could use human hair?

@reflactor Год назад

Thanks! I see lots of room for testing various filaments!

@tonystipbits4944 3 дня назад

Years ago wen i could see better i nicked a few hairs of my dog worked fine.

@reflactor 3 дня назад

That'll work!

Hi there, I've tried unscrewing that inner ring out but it's just firmly stuck there and it won't even move a mm as I tried to unscrew it with everything that could grab those two holes in the sides, is it glued or I don't understand something? I'm talking about 1:22 part

@reflactor Год назад

Every manufacturer does it differently unfortunately. This viewfinder was from a Meade telescope and thankfully they didn't glue it in. I don't have the proper spanner wrench to undo it, but a set of carefully handled needle-nose pliers or hemostats can sometimes span the gap.

@DX10Pilot 9 месяцев назад

Use black widow spider web filaments.

@reflactor 9 месяцев назад

I've heard very good things about using spider web.

@visibleman4604 Год назад

Why wire r u using

@reflactor Год назад

Very thin electrical wire from a strand of wires.

@D5neun 11 месяцев назад

i cant take it out

@Rildud1012 8 месяцев назад

My ring is glued on and hard to get off so i cant fix it 😢

@reflactor 8 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear that. If it's just hot-glue, you might be able to bust that bond pretty easily.

@Donatello40973 8 месяцев назад

I can't believe that NOBODY makes cross hair replacement pieces . You should be able to screw it back in with the cross hairs already in . I actually was able to unscrew it with my fingers , apparently , I got lucky .

@reflactor 8 месяцев назад

That sounds like a great business opportunity!
