Affordable functional addition to your sight - GG&G EOTech 516 & 517 Hood and Lens Cover

Overall, not a bad option if you are looking for something a little more functional and rigid than a scopecoat while also allowing you the option to change the housing color if your original sight wasn't black. A little tedious to install nicely, but not insurmountable by any stretch and to be expected. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star rating is the fit. Yes all the holes line up, but the holes and tolerances where the buttons are located are larger than the factory leaving it less then impressive when closely examining. The spacing/gapping along the two vertical sides are also a little loose and having to place the damping pad (should you choose to) on the top of the housing to keep the ABS plastic cover from slamming down on the aluminum body looks silly and can collect dirt/dust easily but a must use with the product in my opinion. Fortunately, they provide you with 3 extra damping pads but having a small recess in the aluminum body would have been a nice touch to keeping it more streamlined and less likely to collect dirt along the adhesive edge of the pad while making it look more completed or apart of the system as a whole. As is, the damping pad seems like more of an afterthought...
