NcSTAR Mark III

Anyone have their NcSTAR mounted on a carry handel? Or could they i'd like to see a picture
 
Well this is embarassing.

I was adjusting my scope and the side of the rail popped off. I've tried to put it back on, but it doesn't look like there's any possible way to do that. Lol...I didn't even get to shoot with it on! Piece of junk!

Now, the question is, do I pay the $10 to get it repaired so I can sell it, or do I just trash it and call it a lesson learned?
 
Interesting.... There are a pair of pins inside those springs that are supposed to be pressed into the black plate that came off. Those pins are not supposed to come out of that plate, they align the plate in the springs and prevent it from coming out. But I can plainly see in your photo that neither pin is in the plate where they should be.

I don't think "I" would send it back, I personally would mix up a small batch of 2 part epoxy and would epoxy the pins in their holes and make sure they never came out again. If you need help I can help with photos to show you how mine looks.

I guess the quality on these is all over the place, mine so far seems to be put together right.

I don't even know what epoxy is.

I'm thinking I'll just trash it. $95 for a lesson learned.
 
Why would you trash something when you can fix it easily?

Honestly it would take a few moments of time, relatively no cost.. wouldn't come apart again and you'd have a working scope.

Epoxy is a 2 part liquid you mix together and it chemically hardens in a set amount of time (quick epoxies in a few minutes) are readily available at the hardware store for cheap. Or you could just use superglue but I'm not sure how well it would hold..

If you are going to throw it in the trash, by all means I'll gladly pay you to ship it here.....
 
These dime store optics are meant for .22lr or airsoft. They are not "junk". They are great optics if used for the correct application.

No one ever said these were made for .22's this scope in particular is marketed for a .223 and there are more than a few videos on Youtube of these scopes being shot on AR's.

I think the issue here is just quality control.... These Chinese facility's do not adhere to any sort of ISO controls. You get one good scope, 5 duds, 2 good scopes, 3 duds.. Just depends on what person is working that day...


Controls Compliance is how you build a great product, and also why great products aren't cheap.

I'm just confused over what part of this is "hard" I could have it fixed for you in a few minutes (not including set time for the epoxy) I have all sorts of epoxies in my tool box, doesn't everyone????

Tell ya what... Screw the whole base off the scope (remove the two allen screws underneath) send me the entire base, PM me for my mailing address. I will fix it for you and ship it back to you, on my dime..

What's a tool box?

See? It's already confusing. You said I have to mix epoxy with water, but a quick google search shows that there are some you don't have to. What brand do I buy? How long do I wait? How do I reassemble it? Does this void my lifetime warranty (probably!). Or, I could trash it and spend $65 on a centerpoint from Walmart .
 
Oy Ve.....


I never said mix it with water and I obviously can't walk you through this.... If it was in my hands it would be fixed.. You can send it back to NcStar it's going to cost you shipping to them and shipping back...

There is nothing more I can do I guess... I tried!

Somebody said to mix it with water. The pins don't even fit into the holes like they're supposed to, so how in the hell am I supposed to epoxy it together?!
 
send it back they r easy to work with.. turn around is around 2 weeks and if u have not had it more than 90 days they will wave the return shipping

Forget about glue and duct tape. Send it back to NcStar. They will send you a new scope. Put the new scope on your 15-22 (not a centerfire) and be happy.

No way. I'm not giving them $10. They're not getting another cent out of me.
