Same issue. Just looks like some sealant/adhesive has squeezed through. I don’t think its a problem…

ETA: Mine is a 2/08 Eotech 512 also…
Yeah! Someone else has one thats screwed up
Now I know its not just my luck
Just kidding!! did you contact EOTech about it? Maybe its an issue with some 02/08 512s.

Nah… I probably won’t either, depending on what they tell you. It looks significant all blown up like that, but in person it is really minor. Plus it doesn’t obstruct the view field or interfere with the working. I would bet this happens more often than we think, and QC lets them through because they do not cause a problem. I seriously don’t think it is a problem and won’t become one. But by all means go ahead and contact them, I’m am eagar to hear what they say…

I have an email in and I will call “just in case”. It doesn’t obstruct the view and it really is minor in appearance but I know it didn’t look the the ones I have seen locally. I will post what L3 tells me about it.

I have talked with another person that has a Eotech 512 dated 02/08 with the same issue. Maybe EOTech had a bad batch? I will update this tomorrow. Kind of odd that only 02/08 models are having this issue.
