samurai elcan replica fogged up

Hey guys, today was my 1st game with my samurai scope. It was raining at times and now my scope is badly fogged up inside. Is there a quick way to unfog it and prevent this from happening again?

Nope, this is the downside to replicas/clones. The real thing is filled with Nitrogen, and therefore has no water molecules to allow for condensation on the inside of the scope...

You'll just have to wait it out, unless you want to risk breaking the thing to clean out the insides.

Wait for it too dry up and clear out, Then investigate for the infiltration point. Then purge it with argon and reseal it.


Sounds expensive and annoying don't it.

Rads?

As in, radiations?

The sight post is painted wit Tritium, which is radioactive, and is the "glow in the dark" material they use. Is that what you were talking about?

Yeah my mistake i just checked it out. The nitrogen prevents the fogging and the radioactive tritium is for the glowing sight.
