Hi,
I have a problem with my rifle laser. It could have a better focus when set to infinity but the lens needs to be adjusted. Now I tried to unscrew the lens from the host but it just reaches a "stop" and it gets hard. I wouldn't want to force it and break something, so can anyone tell me what do I have to do to disassemble the lens???

I think this is what you are talking about-

The lens unscrews, and uses a bit of suction to stay in. There are two rubber washers that create this, which can feel as if the lens is connected to the host. Simply unscrew it all the way, pulling out as you do.

The lens that you will unscrew:

The lens being unscrewed and removed from the host:

Notice the washers on the lens:

It's that simple. Hope it helps!

EDIT: Sorry that the pictures are sideways, it usually doesn't do that when I upload them.

Well I just tried what you told me and the result was that the lens didn't come off just the lens cap and threaded ring. The ring was held in place by some cheap type of locktite. I put some medium blue locktite to it and now I am waiting for it to dry.
Here are the pics...

I've never seen that before. The threaded ring must have been shredded, and the owner must have secured it with locktite or something similar.

Do the lens cap and ring appear to have any damage/modifications done?

It doesn't apear to have any marks on it and the locktite that was holding it seemed original (I don't think any of us would use that cheap quality product that was in there).

I think there have been different versions of the rifle. I have the one like lolvo, and the lens is easy to adjust or remove, which is good, as i had to replace mine. I want to say we have Version 2, you have version 1, they differ in this respect unfortunately

Oh well it will have to stay that way. Today the locktite was dry and I tried to unscrew the top of, with no success, it is just too hard to get out and I don't want to force it.

The dot is not all that bad, just that compared to my green laser it the convergence is worse.

This is an older generation rifle and doesn't have a removable lens module like the newer ones. The lens itself is held in to the retaining ring via epoxy, and the retaining ring can move within the barrel, but cannot be removed. If you wanted to change the focus you would have to use a two pin lens wrench and break the epoxy holding the lens in place. This is why I never changed the focus - didn't want to damage it.
