Ruined my favorite pair of Oakleys today

[ray1970]

So, I had to learn the hard way that not every rifle can be run like an AR.

Apparently you can't get away with crowding up on the rear sight of a FAL like you can an AR.

Needless to say, my favorite pair of sunglasses just went into the trash with heavy scratches on one of the lenses.

Oh well. Live and learn I guess.

Yea the Fal has a bit more bite to it. I can't own anymore expensive sun glass', the last 3 pairs have been run over (2 by the truck and 1 by my R1). I keep stock in the el cheapo's if you want a pair.

You can buy just the lens directly from Oakley. If the frame is OK you might go that route.

I bought a new lens for my OilRigs for $60. Better than a new pair!

I guess just be glad you were wearing them so your eyes didn't take the hit.

Better the lens than your eyes!

Go the lens route. They should be available.

I always mess sunglasses up. Gave in and ordered some of the ripoffs so I dont feel bad when I screw them up

I'm pretty gentle on sunglasses. I've had this pair for years.

Already tossed them in the trash. I won't spend money putting a lens into a pair of glasses that I didn't pay for. They were a reward from my employer for going out of my way to get a project finished on time.

I'm just going to switch over to another pair (gas cans) that I got for free as well. Hopefully I can get a couple years service out of them too.

If I trash them I will have to switch to a pair that I actually paid for.

I did the same thing the first time I took my Saiga 12 out to the range. Oops.

That blows! Been there done that! Not with a gun but ruined Oakley lenses.

Even if Oakley doesn't make a replacement (the don't sell replacements for all) there are aftermarket companies that do

That sucks, Ray.

Damn it.
