TerryO Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Just switched to aluminum c-mores after shooting plastics for years. 6MOA dot just like with the plastics but what I'm finding is that on the aluminum sights I have to turn the intensity all the way up. I never did that with my old c-mores. I have two of them on two identical guns and both are exactly the same, have to crank it all the way up. I haven't tried new batteries but these batteries are brand new. On Friday I shot stage 1 of Double Tap as the last stage of the day facing into the sun and it really bit me. Anyone else have any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterthefish Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Nope. When I bought a new AL C More the included battery was much less bright than the Duracell replacement batteries I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Pop a good battery in there OR stack two 357's for more power OR call Cmore and talk to them about it. Edited to correct battery ID. Edited June 15, 2015 by Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Terry: When guys want a aluminum C-More I tell them to use a 8MOA dot instead of the 6. The aluminum 8 is like a plastic 6 or at least it seems that way. I know they should be the same but they are not. You can modify a plastic module to fit the aluminum frame easily.

TerryO Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hey Eric, I agree that the 6 on the aluminum is smaller than the 6's I used to have on the plastic sights which I like. I'm going to try the batteries and if that doesn't do it I'll go to a bigger dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryO Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Pop a good battery in there OR stack two 376's for more power OR call Cmore and talk to them about it. Is it 376 or 357? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I edited my original post just now when somebody questioned it as well. There are some shooters who never use a true Cmore battery because of cost and hard to find.

TerryO Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 C-More responded to my email today and said send the module back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 you just shave it down a bit from memory so that it fits in the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hello: The aluminum module has rounded corners and the plastic module has square corners. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon has them for $3 per battery. Agreed they can be found for good prices. But they don't typically hang on the rack next to 357's. When they do they are expensive. I stock up and carry extras but occasionally somebody gets stuck at a major with a weak battery and you can't just run to walmart and pick up a 1/3 on the way to the hotel.

robb315 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) This place is one of the only places I've found 1/3 batteries locally. Check their store locator, there may be one local to you. The guy working the counter said people buy them for electronic dog collars, so pet stores may carry them also but have never looked. http://www.batteriesplus.com Edited June 20, 2015 by robb315 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy1629 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I normally look online for a deal but have purchased them from Batteries Plus in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
