Custom Scope 1: Large ACOG

Fed up of the single-reticule Nerf scopes? Want to have a (very slightly) functional scope without buying a real scope? This is the answer: make your own! This is the first custom scope I made. It slides on and off tactical rails with ease. Also, the cost for materials is far less than it would cost for any Nerf scope or Rifle scope.

First Lens

Second Lens

How to make this sort of Scope:

Materials:
Toilet paper rolls
Clear sheet of plastic
Sticky tape
Toothpicks
Hot glue

Apparatus:
Scissors
Permanent markers
Hot glue gun
Compass (circle drawing thingy)

How to do it:
1) Draw 2 circles the size of the toilet paper roll and cut them out. These make the lenses.
2) Draw the patterns you want on the lenses. It generally only works if you have a cross, dot, etc on the first lens (closest to your eye), and a grenade launcher syle sight on the second. Anyone who has played CoD will know what I'm talking about.
3) Stick the 2 lenses on either side of the toilet paper roll with tape.
4a) You could add the parts I have, which are just bits off another toilet paper roll.
4b) To make the tactical rail clip, just get another toilet paper roll and cut 2 segments off it.

5) Stick the two segments on the roll so that the gap between the two ends are the same size as a tactical rail.
6) Stick a toothpick on both segments at the end. This will act as the rail clips.
7) Test the scope on a tactical rail, preferably NOT the one on the Magstrike - it's slightly thinner than others. Make the appropriate adjustments.
8) Go and snipe some friends with it :D

The trick to using this is to align the first lens symbol with a line on the second lens BELOW the centre. This will make the dart lob slightly to give better range.
