Where is a good place to buy good, and quality cheap eye covers for my alias? I hadn't used my gun in like 2 years, because I have had 3 surgeries on my knee, so when I pulled my alias out to do some upkeep for a game with my friends coming up in a couple weeks, a lot of my screws were rusted, but the eye cover screws were rust welded in so bad, I stripped them out trying to remove them. So I ended up having to drill them out, and it jacked up the eye covers in the process (as well as the eyes). Anyways, I already placed an order from crankwalk here for a stainless steel screw set, and an o-ring kit, some new eyes, and some high flow tube and barbs. All I need now is some eye covers, and I have no idea whatsoever where to get them. Any info is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello.. there are a couple options but your best bet for cheap covers would be to check the BST threads here or post up a WTB ad. Look for Alias part-out threads, these will be the cheapest options since they are used and stock parts.

You could also check eBay, but likely that will be more expensive. I also know that Hybrid used to make aftermarket Alias eye covers.

Then there's Kila http://www.kilaproducts.com/product.php?cid=8&sid=4&pid=10 - which are eye covers and aftermarket detents combo.

Yeah, i think I am just going to pick up some of those, depending on the price I get from blast regarding some oem replacements. If I can get the originals for 20 or under I will get them, if not, then I will get the kila's.

BLAST has been incredibly slow to answer any emails I've sent them, we're talking months or not at all. So good luck getting your answer in a timely manner.

BLAST never answers any of my emails, but this is understandable. They are a busy company. Call them direct like Crank said, that will pretty much be hassle free for you. I only contact them by phone
