Hi i am new here so please bare with me
I recently purchased a ex demo Opticron mm3 50 ga/45 and hr3 eyepiece which i am pleased with but i have a issue with it. When i decided which one i wanted the shop assistant unscrewed the eye piece to put in original box it would not fit as it seemed to long for the box , i said don't worry i will sort it out when i get home. I got home and had a look and saw the problem, when the eyepiece was unscrewed the threaded part on the scope body unscrewed with the eyepiece so i could see mirrors, so i unscrewed
it and reinstalled it back on the scope body as should be (1 inch tube with glass at bottom rather than mirrors) then attached the eyepiece.
I been to shop to query this and they said it was ok just make sure the part was screwed tight in the scope body my question is i have read that they have nitrogen in them and with that part unscrewing would that of let the nitrogen out or caused any other problems
