Guys, I have never handled one of these. If you would be willing to measure the inside of the cap and possibly post a couple pictures, I will let you know.

I'm dropping a set for 5-20 and fixed MOA in the mail tomorrow. I would assume there will be no issue, as the HD models are very robust internally.
Awesome. Please let us know what they say. Seems like a good deal, but I would like the nod from them before I put them in a $1300 scope.

Received my shims yesterday. Installation was simple and straightforward, works like a charm.
Thanks for the upgrade gentlemen!

Hopefully someone on the Hide has taken this chance already. Here is a review from M4carbine.net that claims they work: Zero stops for SWFA Super Sniper Scopes
I also returned your PM Urquell.

Thanks again to everybody running these stops. We are glad to offer a product that makes a solid scope more user friendly.

I already sent PP for a 3-15x set, but I just wanted to say thank you for making these. Great idea, and I'm excited to put them to use.
Received sets for a couple of 3-15s and 5-20. Installed and they work great.
Great product! Thanks guys

We are discontinuing the 5-20 shim sets. SWFA tested them and found that they could potentially damage the scope if one were to crank hard on the knob when it hits the stop. We strongly encourage users of the 5-20 shim sets to return them for a refund.
I'll be individually emailing all the current owners of the 5-20 sets to notify them.

Shit! If they are saying this about the 5-20, it makes me question if I want to put them in the other scopes I ordered for. I sincerely hope this doesn't "tank" your project and this great idea/solution you brought to market. Did they say what the difference was in the 5-20 compared to the other scopes you've made shims for?
The 5-20 and I believe all HD models have a different factory stop inside the turret. Apparently the added force applied when using the stops can damage the mechanism. Everything we tested in person did not show this to be the case, and I'm not sure how much force was applied to SWFA's test scope. Either way the verdict came from them, and we are left to make it right for the few sets that were sold.
We didn't see this coming and are sorry for any inconvenience to those that purchased the affected stops. Tim has emailed everyone in our records that purchased these stops.
Thank you,
Jared
Well that sucks. I was pretty excited to have zer stops on my scope. Thanks anyway gentlemen.
Looking at the internals of my SS 5-20 HD I'm trying to figure out how the hell anything could harm them. It looks like they could take an grenade blast.

I wound up making my own zero stops for my HD's. (Machinist) Simple math, and a lathe... made mine out of aluminum, though. work great, and I can see absolutely no reason why, with normal (Non Monkey) usage, they will damage the scope.
This is a Falcon Menace 4-14 with MOA turrets.
Here is the cap.
The stem

Per SWFA, no problem on fixed and 3-15. They claim a problem with the 5-20. We're still selling the fixed and 3-15, but not the 5-20's.
Can you allaborate further on swfa's testing/results for the 5-20. I already installed them prior to getting the notification. I'd really like to keep them. Just curious
It has to do with the way that the turret caps attached. With the non-HD models, the caps are held on by set screws, which allows the cap to slip-off if to much force is applied. On the HD models they have a through bolt that transfers all the force to the adjustment mechanism.
I can't. We don't know anything, just that they claimed to have damaged a scope.
Yes, the 3-15's are fine.

I just sent a payment to [email protected] with shipping instructions and the scope model to be sent to NM. I hope that is all I need to do?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Culpeper my elv. Cap had like a step inside. Like a built in spacer. It took some playing with but I got it figured out. I think I had to use 1 1/4 to get mine set right. Which had 3 turns.
