A RS ACOG has less than 2" eye relief. Wouldn't expect better from a clone.

Actually it depends on the model, not all models are the same. The 4x32 models (TA01 and TA31) are about 2 inches (they're actually listed as 1.5 inches). The 1.5x models are closer to 3.5-4 inches of eye relief.

The Radium question is a good one. Used for a long time signs and watches and exposure to that really CAN harm you. Not to mention aren't tritum optics supposed to be sealed and surrounded by Argon or whatever? The inert gas...

[Danke]

Any good optic should be sealed and filled with an dry inert gas.

Have you guys read about the Radium Girls? Quite the tragic tale and a wacky one as well regarding early 20th century labour practices and willful destructive ignorance regarding radiation (and pretty much anything about health and pathologies in general)

Sadly that is where my watch comment comes from.

Here's a link to some info about tritium, from someone who broke a vial

How dangerous is tritium - CandlePowerForums


(great forum if you want info on flashlights btw)

For those that don't want to read through that thread, the short answer is Don't worry about tritium in the concentrations they're found in optics etc.

Forget to meantion the tritium is not manufactured in china. It is imported from US, a tritium tube. There maybe some delay since the factory is working on the permit to import the tritium tube from US.

have they issued you a projected issue date yet huang? im just trying to figure out if i should buy ta31 to tide me over if this is going to take as long as those crye combat chassis did, or if i do buy the ta31 and these come out a month later ill be screwing myself lol.

[DuffMan]

If you guys are really worried about this Radium or shoddy construction, etc. I can have an audit of the factory done by a reputable risk management firm. Obviously it would require both cash and consent.

For $280, your question should've been,

Wheres the hand relief?

[swatt13]

[hondatech]
