    Probably best to go with RTS2, the "real thing".

    Yep, I got RTS2 on a match gun. 

     

    Tossed all original electronics out of the Nikko today and now running direct from battery(just one resistor). Well it's working now :)

  2. Ok, I am almost done with Nikko Stirling :)

     

    Lasted about 1000 shots and started shutting down after every round -> re-soldered and 500 rounds without problems -> same issue soldered again, but internals got too sloppy and sight trashed.

     

    Time to go full retard and redo battery department. Chip is 2.50$ Atmel 1234 Attiny13a ssu so nothing special here. Yeah it's probly same as RTS2 V1 or even worse.

     

    Still no cake, any loss of power will dim the dot and ruin a training session. Maybe a 3D printed holder with screws? Also thinking about using direct voltage to diode without any switches and remove battery after.

     

    It's a bit shame because mechanics are pretty good, but electronics and battery holder are POS. Will be a miracle if return percentage is not over 50. DAA Europe already stopped sales of this dot...

    Sorry.  Maybe the Nikko Sterling is supposed to break if you don't solder it up.  But it's not the RTS2.

    Does anyone have pics of the rts2 board?

    I hope RTS2 board is different since pricing is a little bit steeper :) 

  4. Just opened and re-soldered all connections on board. I have Nikko Stirling which is basically same as RTS2 but 4MOA. These are also sold as Hawke with 2 MOA dot. Mine was only a month old and under warranty, but cant get replacement(out of stock until eternity) so I tried to get it working and re-soldering did the trick. 

     

    I have to say that it's a miracle these are working on a open gun more than 1000 rounds. 

  5. Buying random skate tapes isn't an answer here cause most of them have shitty adhesive. 

     

    At least 3M has a good adhesive on them. It's hard to tell from product catalog what would be the best choice for a grip tape.

    Great work but I have to wonder why. it's very slow (presumably as the lnl won't be reliable any faster than that). Maybe 300rph? My 650 with case and bullet feeder runs much faster than that by hand with better than 99.5% reliability.

    i do love the hydraulic drive I just think he would have been better off with a 1050 (or even 650). 

    Well he is on prototyping phase and 300 rph is really slow even when manually feeding cases and bullets. LNL AP speed is equal to 650 and they share very similar issues. Of course 1050 is superior to both of mentioned earlier.

    LNL AP main problems are 1) crappy case feeding ramp that should be changed to rail type like Dillon, 2) Priming unreliability(slide stuck, primer punch high/stuck) 3) Rough indexing

    It seems that Hornady is really not interested to improve AP, only introducing useless LCD panels...
