UTG occular lens removal

fishinwrench · Jan 15, 2019

I have a UTG 3-9X32AO and it has a tiny speck of debris stuck to the inside of the occular lens. The focus ring will not just easily screw off so I can't open it up and blow it out of there. It's not such a big deal that I want to send it back and wait 2 weeks to get another one, but it does bug me.

Is there a way to get that out of there? Yeah I know I might lose the nitrogen or whatever is in there, but I'm willing to risk that.

I’m sure you can open it up but you will likely void your warranty or break something. Your best option is to over look the speck or send it in for repair. The nitrogen keeps the scope from fogging inside due to temperature changes. MM

I'd like to get it cleaned out of there while it is somewhere that it can be gotten to. If the speck comes loose from where it is currently at it will probably show up again in a worse place.

I have had the turrets out of these scopes before, and truthfully I don't see how it could hold any gasses inside of it. Seems they'd easily leak right out around the turrets.

I am very picky also. Little things that I can’t control drives me nuts. There is little to no pressure in scope they displace the air in scope with an inert gas ( nitrogen or argon ) that is non condencible so no fog appears inside the scope.Any way I wish you good luck with your quest. MM

Well I can't find a way to remove the focus ring and occular lens. There seems to be an inner retainer that prevents the focus ring from being unscrewed all the way.

Guess I'll just have to live with these spots before my eyes until I am in the mood to be without a scope for a couple weeks.
