Due to the exact fit, I boiled about 5/8" of water in a frying pan, turned off the heat, then put the lens cover in the hot water, lens cap up, for 60 seconds... and slid the cover on to the Aimpoint. Made the installation easy!

I was worried that the covers may be cheap knock-offs. I was wrong, thay are the real deal, AIMPOINT printed on both front and back. Both covers purchased are well made, just as you would expect from an AIMPOINT prodcut.

The Aimpoint lens covers are a must have. They keep dirt, dust, and debris out of your optic. Use a hair dryer for an easy, headache free, installation. These deploy easily with a flick of the thumb.

I purchased the Aimpoint caps for my Trijicon Tripower and the rear is a perfect fit. The front isn't.

Pros:  Improved design
Cons:  None
Would recommend:  yes

The newer Aimpoint design is superior to the older Butler Creek design because the open lens covers lay flatter and do not stick straight up. The rear cover installs very easily on the older model CompM as opposed to being a tighter fit on the newer models.

the rear is easy to install. just take off the rubber ring and push i down all the way without twisting. the front was much harder. soak the front cover in bloiling/hot water for a few minutes and dry it off. then push down straight on top of it without twisting. after a few minutes the rubber will cool and your done

This flip-up lens cover fits tightly on the ocular end of the COMP M4 and flips out of the way instantly. I had to file a little material off so they would open fully, but that's to be expected. These are as tough as the scopes they're made for.

These flip-up lens covers are exactly the right fit for my COMP M4. They are a little hard to get on, but once they're on, they aren't coming off unless you want them to. They deploy quickly and are out of the way in an instant. I had to file a little extra material off to get them to open fully, but that's to be expected. I haven't had any dust, dirt, or other debris get inside since I put these on, and best of all, they don't require removal of the "killflash" to install.
