I was shooting my AR the other day and the scope started to get a little blurry. It kept getting worse and worse until all I could see through the scope looks like a cats eye. When I got it home it was even worse to the point where I couldnt see anything except some light around the edges. It was a free 3-9x40 tasco that I have had for years so it wasn't much of a loss at all. The scope has spent its entire life on a 10/22 and the last year on my AR with about 400 rounds of 5.56 through it. The lens between the eye piece and the turrets came loose and turned complete sideways. Anybody else have this happen before? I mean Ive broken reticles before and had the turrets come loose but never a lens turn sideways.

I figured since it was a free scope and a cheap one at that, that I would take it apart to see what went wrong.
