How do I improve the 1.5-inch eye relief on my ACOG?
Position the stock correctly and get your nose to the charging handle for proper sight picture. Alternative mounts like LaRue or Scalarworks can help optimize positioning.
Will the tritium illumination eventually stop working?
Yes, tritium illumination lasts approximately 14 years from the manufacture date and is not covered under warranty. Fiber-optic provides daylight illumination independently.
Can I mount this ACOG on different AR-15 platforms?
The TA31 uses standard MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails and is compatible with most AR-15/M4 platforms. Various aftermarket mounts are available for height adjustments.
Why does my reticle appear too bright or dim in certain lighting?
The dual illumination system automatically adjusts, but you can place tape over the fiber-optic cable to reduce brightness in bright sunlight. This is a regular operation.
How much does tritium replacement cost if it fails?
Tritium replacement-600 takes several weeks. The service is available through Trijicon's repair department for out-of-warranty units.
Is the fixed 4× magnification limiting for close-range use?
The fixed magnification is optimized for 50-800 meter engagements. Many users add an offset red dot or RMR for close-quarters flexibility.
Will this ACOG hold zero reliably?
The forged 7075-T6 housing and minimal moving parts design maintains zero exceptionally well. Always use thread locker on mount screws as recommended.
Can I use backup iron sights with this optic?
The short eye relief limits backup sight options unless using a cantilever mount to position the ACOG further back. Many users skip backup sights for this model.
