RMR "Flicker" - Is There a Remedy?

[Yamadog35]

I've had an RMR on a G19 for awhile and have been practicing with it to get confident enough to eventually carry it. This is an RM06 on a custom milled slide. I had no problems for awhile, but during my last range outing I experienced RMR flicker. During recoil I would see bright flashes and sometimes the dot would go out and then come back usually during the next shot. After searching I've found various alleged remedies such as the Battlewerx sealing plate with the hump under the battery, the Suarez Shoe-Goo fix, and various other fixes. I thought I would ask INGO and see if anyone has experienced the flicker and what, if any, remedy took care of it. Thanks for any input.

The RTV silicone/shoe-goo trick under the sealing plate/battery solved it for me. As soon as I experienced flicker, I added a small dab of silicone under the sealing plate and below the battery, then retorqued the screws. It hasn’t flickered since.

I run the battlewerx and have no issues.

You can look up Boogyman Custom... he has a patent on a slide cut that placed a "absorption" gasket under the RMR, everyone that I know who has had it done says its perfect.

Hes on FB... here is his website as well...

Thanks folks. I think I'll start with the silicone/shoe-goo option then go to others if needed.

I have a Type 1 RM06 and had that very same issue. Had it on a carbine and its now on my G41. I simply took a dental pick and moved the battery contact slightly inward and added a piece of 1/4" electrical tape between the battery and mounting surface.

No problems after another 350 rounds of 556 and ~650 rounds of 45 acp.

I run the battlewerx and have no issues.

+1 for this. Works perfect.

Same RMR with the Battlewerx. I had the same issues and the sealing plate fixed the issue. I actually have an extra one that's been sitting in a box...send me a PM with your address and I'll drop it off in the mail, on me.
