The are named after rounds of ammunition. 5.56 is a standard AR platform rifle round and the 7.62 is the standard round for the AK platform. - brian

Thanks Brian! That does ring a bell now that you mention it. I appreciate it.

Does anyone happen to know what inspired Oakley to chose the name Heater for the original M-Frame Heater lens shape?

I was today years old when I learned the names of the various groups of traditional battle shields such as the Kite, the Scuta, and the Iberian, among others. One of the groups is called Heater, and apparently was so popular in one variation or another that it became the most often used shield in Armorial Heraldry. I just couldn't help wondering if this was the inspiration for the name of the lens shape. It certainly wouldn't be out of character for Oakley.

But I digress. Anyone know where the name Heater comes from?

I asked Peter:

Heater was a reference to throwing a fastball in baseball. The rest were names associated with what was considered cool for the time or descriptive about the lens shapes themselves.

The Gold Iridium lens on the Mars Leather looks brighter and more transparent than other Gold Iridium lenses to me. Anybody else feel that way?
(Is it actually Leather Gold http://o-review.com/database_detail_lens.php?ID=1129)? )

I just got some replacement lenses for a why 3 I got off of eBay a while ago and was wondering if anyone has a link to a how to/tutorial?

Is it as simple as unscrewing and re screwing or is there more to it?

Cheers

It looks like it should be straight forward. The biggest concern would to be not over torquing when you tighten them. I don't think any adhesive would be a good idea on the screws to keep them from loosing over time, maybe someone else with experience in similar type installs can chime in. Just make sure you have a good style screw driver for those as they might be pretty soft screws and your risk damage to the screw head.

Thanks man.

I have now disassembled them and there are little hollow mounting nuts that I had to destroy the old lenses to get out.

I am a bit hesitant to just jam these in the new lenses. Would you happen to know if there is a specific way I should approach it?

Your pictures are not showing on my screen, it shows a broken link. I have not dealt with a situation like that personally, maybe these videos can assist some in your approach.

Follow up to this one. Anyone know where I could find replacement hinges for a 4.0? Also could use a measurement for new doors.
