Mk1 Photon Doubler Help!

[Rasor]

Hi all,

This is my first post so please be gentle

I have an original Photon scope and have acquired a doubler and adaptor to fit onto the objective lens. Have found a ring screwed into the inside of the objective lens which I cannot move! Is this possible to remove? Or do I need a different adaptor?

Cheers

Hi blueyes,

Thank you for your reply.
Have watched the vid and the scope in it is the new version of the one I have. I have one of the originals I bought when they first came out. I did see the metal tool he used to remove the ring from the objective lens which looked homemade so I will try and replicate it!

Unless anyone has one I could borrow?

Cheers

Mine just had an adaptor on the doubler (a piece of plastic tube) that pushed over the photon. You secure them with silicon sealer.

Had a look at my mk1 and it's the same as my xt, so all you need is a square of metal. Or a thin long nosed pliers will do it. Atb Gary.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the info, was it difficult to release? I am presuming that Yukon may have cemented the ring in place?

Hi mate ,
They are quite easy to get undone just a bit of loctite on them. Atb Gary.

Thanks again for your help!
