Are you looking for the ACOG type sights or are you looking for a magnifier to go behind, hmm, lets say an Eotech or Aimpoint?

im looking for a screw on magnifier for an a-cog replica

Good luck finding one; I've never ever heard of or seen one. In real life, ACOGs are magnified; so they don't make magnifiers for them.

I have an ACOG, I can't imagine why it would need additional magnification.

Because some "ACOG" Replica are only a red dot unit without magnification, the cheap ones at about 40 bucks.

Something like this?

Ebaybanned.
Got mine there. Quality is ok. The mount is not the best, but the optic is clear enough.

All i have seen is a screw on option (2x i believe) for a Aimpoint type sight.

yep me too. You're either have to go aimpoint style or get a flipover magnifier.

Mine flip to the side like the real deal.
The mount is not very good in my standards but does the job. It's just not solid and crisp like the real one I have tried. The optic is plenty good.

Just get an actual magnified ACOG instead of the cheapo red dot one.

rmadden · May 9th, 2011, 14:59

Check out Airsoftparts.ca

I would not bother with a red dot ACOG.

If you want the option of magnification or no magnification with a RDS...then go with an EOTech + 3-4x magnifier like the picture...or with an Aimpoint + magnifier. If you don't like the flip to the side mounts for the magnifier (I don't think any of the clone ones are rock solid)...then simply go with a mount that is easy to put on/off. My magnifier mount has a good sized hex nut to tighten it...I can either torque it on pretty tight with my fingers or else use a wrench/pliers. I've NEVER had to put it on/off/on/off/on/off during a game. 99% of the time it's either on the gun throughout or taken off at the beginning and never put back on. The one occasion so far I've had it mounted and taken off was when I popped it off to use as a monocular...and then it ended up staying in my pocket for the duration.
