Noticed my error before I hit refresh button. But I say it's do to the new format bugs that are still being worked out of the system. That my story and I'm sticking with that.

I disected a Green Dot Fiber Optic so everyone can see how it works and can compare it with the White Ring Sight and the Black Ring Sight.

This is the Green Dot Fiber Optic Ring Sight. (Top View) The Light collection circle is on top of the ring sight. It works great outdoors but has the same problem the White Ring Sight has in dim or loe light conditions. (You can't see the dot)


(bottom view)


Notice that there is NO rear light collection area.


I pried off the base plate so you can see what is underneath.


A) is the Tritium.
B) is the Fiber Optic line that connects to the Light collector. C) Base Plate (you can see a hole I drilled for the REM T3GD)


Here is another picture without the tape covering.
A) Fiber Optic
B) Tritium


This is where the end of the Fiber Optic would be attached. It is a light collector that illuminates the dot. (I took off the cover and pulled off the rubber covering)


This is the sight picture outdoors. Nice white circle and T Bar with the Green Dot in the center.


This is the sight picture inside the house looking out a window. Notice how dim the circle became and you can't even see the green Dot.


This is the same sight picture with the REM T3GD turned on to illuminate the Dot.


This the sight picture inside the house in low light conditions. Again you can barely see the circle or dot.


This is the same sight picture with the REM T3GD turned on to setting #1
You can now see the dot.


This is the sight picture in total darkness. You can barely see the dot via the Tritium.


This is the sight picture in total darkness with the REM T3GD turned on to setting #1

As always M1P90, very informative and the pictures do say a thousand words.

I had one and liked it outdoors, but it is utterly useless indoors, so I sold the one I had. REM T3b all the way!!

I agree that the Black Ring Sight is the best out of the three. I like that it has a metal body instead of plastic like the other two.
Also, the Black Ring is not a Halo sight so it doesn't fade away with the light.

From Left to right. Black Ring Sight, White Ring Sight, Green Dot Sight.

What's up with that?
