razor1911 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I just purchased a new C-More sight for my open gun and the plastic part on the back of it is bulging quite a bit. It doesn't seem like I can remove it and while I can press it in to lay flat, it takes a lot of force and immediately goes back to this state when I let go. I've attached pics that show it. I'm worried about trying to mount it since I may break it with the amount of force I'll have to apply to the screws to make it lay flat. Is this normal or should I return it (my old one is flat underneath)? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I would call them and request to send it back. They are great to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Definitely not normal. I would return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razor1911 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Not normal -> Back it goes then! Thanks for the fast responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmo412 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Mine looks similar when tightened down to the Quinn mount. Been shooting the gun for a year...zero has never shifted by itself. The only time the zero changed at all was after installing a Limcat glare shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Is it a click switch? Mine has the same bulge. It is over 10 years old, and I cut the legs off to use on a Barry mount. Works just fine. You can remove the bottom. Look for Brazos instructions on converting a serendipity to a slide ride.

Brazos Custom Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 You can pop the bottom cover off and then put it back on and it should go on flat. One of the edges is not in the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I wish I had read this a week ago... I just screwed mine down to the mount and went with it. Maybe I will take it off and make sure the edges are all in the right place... probably not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Supposedly these are waterproof to 200 meters and should come from the factory assembled and sealed correctly. Took a look at the ones I have and their covers are all are flat and flush. Maybe try to reseat the cover per Mr. Brazos suggestion, and he has a great web page on how to convert the serendipity to a slide ride (thanks!) with photos: http://www.brazoscustom.com/magart/0701.htm If returning it is a fairly painless option I’d be tempted to just go that route and not mess with it. The slide ride should sit flat and stress free on the mount platform. Paul, in your case it probably helped, so yeah...I'd leave that alone!
