Cleaning the inside of lense G&P Aimpoint
 

Inside of the front lense on my G&P Aimpoint is filled with dusts and tiny dirt specs. I can't just wipe it off because it's inside the "tube" How could I clean it? Is there a way where I could remove the front and/or back lense out of the optic and clean it? Thanks. It's kinda cloudy when I look through from all the dusts and tiny dark specs.

I am not sure there is a way to open up the G&P aimpoint... how did you get dirt inside the tube?

According to G&P it should be "High shockproof, weather proof & Fog Proof model, functions in bad climate and different situation" However if some orings around the windage/elevation adjustment knobs went missing I could potentially see condensation getting into it... but not dirt... that would take submersion into mud water I would think...

Anyway, you might be boned on this... mabey not, but looking at mine it seems that when G&P made these things, the idea was that they won't come apart no matter what you do.

Replacement = 34.98USD

I would guess it's unsightly but not something you'll focus on when you're engaging a target. Best to leave as is.

I don't know how you got dust in there, but I know that if you open it, there will be some fogging problems. There is some water vapors in the "normal" air, so when you will re-close it, there will be moist trapped inside.

I think that you can unscrew the front lense. Similar to some other scopes or binoculars. I am not sure about it though.

If you manage to contaminate your red dot you have 2 options. Leave it or change it. Opening it can ONLY make it worst.

Take it to a photography shop, a place that sells and services cameras. They may be able to fix it for you. It involves cleaning out the inside, filling it with (usually) nitrogen and resealing it properly. This is how scope, binoculars etc. are serviced. Dunno the cost, it may wind up being cheaper to replace it.

Thanks guys. I think i'll just leave it alone for now. I probably will take it somewhere (photography shop?) where they could open it up. I don't know how either, but There are clearly some dusts and several dark specs that I can't wipe off from the outside.
