EXPS3-2***UPDATE***
Spoke with I believe his name was Mike at EOTech, I explained what had taken place and was extremely satisfied with the outcome. Mike advised he had seen this problem a handful of times before and went on to explain whom ever had hand laid the (forget part name) had done it improperly. Mike explained this part is usually the most durable part of the optic and that they have to actually physically break this piece during certain warranty repairs.
Mike asked me to send the optic in with a letter explaining what had taken place and during what condition the optic failed. He advised he would personally package any brand new EOTech optic of my choosing and send it to me free of charge.
Now I just have to decide which EOTech I want to try next. If anyone has any insight I am all ears.
