I've googled all over the place and can't find these. I thought they made them, but I can not find them anywhere. Does anyone know if there are flip up front and rear covers for the Aimpoint T1?

Thanks,
FT[:D]

Thanks, Aragorn. Not exactly what I was looking for, but they'll work. I was looking for the individual front and rear style caps, sort of like Butler Creek makes, but it doesn't appear that anyone makes them, at least that I can find.

Oh, yeah, I'm not familiar with any other type. :/

FT, you may be thinking of the flip covers that are on the T-2. It has extra material for the covers to sit on and purchase, unlike the T-1. I have IO covers on my T-1s and they work great.

You could potentially put a flip up cover on the front of a T1, but the rear doesn't have anything to grab onto since the lens is nearly flush with the body.

Yes, thank you all. I see the error of my ways.[:D]

Gatordev, I've used the IO covers, but my only problem with them is that occasionally they'll wiggle out of the "nested" mode, and they immediately flip around and cover the front/rear or both. I think I actually have an extra set in the "pile". Maybe I can figure out a way to "fix" that. Thanks all for your time.

The only flip covers I know of for a T-1 come with the GG&G mount. The covers attach to the mount itself.

Thanks, GOST. That's a pretty cool solution, but if you broke one, you might have to either buy a whole new mount, or do without one cover.[:D]

Those caps are Butler Creek on that mount.

Wow, you ARE hard on gear.

Never say never, of course, but I haven't had them break lose. But mine are from the original batch. Makes me wonder if something changed over time. Or if it's just Mr. Destructo. I keed!

Ha..ha...ha.. I don't know about being hard on gear, but if it can get screwed up, somehow, I'm your man.[:D]
