First AR build and question

[THE ENGINEER]

Here is my first AR build. Its a Noveske Infidel upper with the Vltor VIS mated with a POF Gen III billet lower. Running an Eotech XPS-2 and G23.FTS magnifier. I have a Noveske forged lower that should be here in the next day or so that I will try. The rifle is extremely accurate.

My question has to do with the FTS magnifier. I currently have it oriented to flip to the right side. I am afraid of spent casings hitting the magnifier lens. For those running this set up, is this even a concern?

the noveske lower should help with the play. my rifles i built have a little play but as long as it goes bang its not a big deal. it can be annoying at times. as far as the other issue i have no experience with that.

[The Annoyed Man]

Mine EOTech 3X magnifier is set to flip to the right, and I've never had brass hit it when it was flipped over. However, I've only fired a few rounds that way. Most of the time on the range, I prefer the magnifier 'cause I've got old man eyes. I would be pretty confident of shooting reasonably well with it out to 50 yards or so without the magnifier, but beyond that, I think not.

BTW, I don't know if you knew this or not (I didn't until I bought my magnifier), but those adjustment screws on the magnifier will shift the lens up/down and left/right to center your EOTech sight's reticle in the middle of the magnifier view.
