Elcan Scope Question

[peter36]

Hi all! I have an older 25yrs plus Elcan Green rubberized scope for a 223, the sights do not light up any more!!Is there a method to fix this??Thanks

No.

The Tritium illumination has died.

Buy a new one if you need the night sight capability.

Cheers

Argonaut Armaments in NS can service your Elcan.

HOWEVER - given it's 25 years old, it probably has an old mount (not Gen 4) and servicing just for tritium replacement is stupid. It's worth $500-$600 as is. Sell it and buy something else!

If it's a C79 in green housing you can sell it on EE for good money to people trying to recreate a C7.

I thinks it's C79A2 in green, older ones are black.
