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

This might help if its not the Marky type

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.

Hi mate,
Can you put some pics up of your doubler and adapter ? And the screw your on about. Cheers Gary.

Hi Gary,
Will do later today!
Was out chasing Charley around till late last night with a full moon and no cloud!!

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.

Cheers Gary,
Got a piece of metal plate and gonna sort it this evening hopefully before I go out.

Thanks again for your help!
