I just checked the box and found a paper that stated the light source lens was replaced.

I use Nyogel 760G grease (intended for tactical flashlight cap threads and O-rings) on the battery cap threads and O-rings of all 4 of my SRO’s and reverse to the lead (turn backward until you feel the threads match up) when installing the caps. Never had an issue of any sort, but this helps a lot in getting the cap started properly.
I use the same grease on all my Modlite handhelds and pistol lights- really helps with preventing galling and thread wear.
Sorry that happened to you! That’s frustrating!
I have thought an optic was broken only to find that I had it on low night vision setting and couldn’t see the dot. I even sent it back! The technician note pleasantly informed me of my error.
I don’t remember who showed me this, it was either here or on Enos but there’s a guy who makes these. I would post a link but it’s just a dude and his email so I didn’t want to post in on a forum out of courtesy.
DM me and I would be happy to pass it your way. If enough people want them he might have another run done. It was $25 when I bought it a year ago.
Seeing that battery tool inspired me… mine looks cheap and ugly but it works!
After making and testing my tool, I realized what a pain it is to change the battery! I guess since I’ve had the SRO, I’ve only change the battery once or twice. The last time was over a year ago. Even with the tool, you can only get about 1/3 of a turn before needing to reposition it. Thank goodness I’ll only need to change it once a year.
Not sure if this is the same guy, but I found this…
