Hope this one helps.
Tried that at Huang's suggestion. It doesn't work. All that does is centre the reticle in the eyepiece of the sight. Removing the springs actually removes the tension that holds the curcuit board against the internal cam that adjust elevation and makes it 'free float'. It does NOT make the elevation adjustment work. It simply helps compensate for the internal design flaw.

Without these springs, if you gently shake the unit up and down, and the aiming reticle bounces around in the eyepiece. It doesn't stay at that centre position. Where it will stop after the shaking is anyone's guess. You may have to give it a tap to get it to reset to its lowest point.

And still, when "free floating like that", mine would still shoot about 14" too low at a distance of 20 feet. Confirmed that on 2 separate AEGs, and it wasn't a hopup problem, as with my iron sight or Elcan clone, I could tag the bullseye without issue.
