Hi All,

There's an odd to me scope on EBay, The Guy states it's Canadian, and not by anything I no of but that's only the usual So. Any comments would be appreciated you can find it here :-

1943 No 32 Mk II British Lee Enfield No 4 Sniper Scope | eBay

Thanks

This scope has been discussed before Peter L reckons it is a bit of a dead horse and the internals may be like the outside Buyer Beware..................

No.32 Mk.I SN 8010 is definitely NOT a Canadian made scope. It could have been issued to Canadians but there is no evidence presented that this was the case and I would not expect any Canadian issue marking on it (no British scopes are Canadian issue marked to my knowledge) so that Canadian attribution appears to be total fabrication on the part of the seller.

That is one messed up scope!

It is a bog standard No32 Mk1 scope that has been totally knackered. Specifically, the anti-rotation peg & even its housing have been completely removed (presumably so it would fit in commercial mounts), the drums have had the factory knurling filed off & for some reason the butchered drums have then had knurling very amateurishly hand filed back in place; the 'rails' that run round the erector cell locking segment area have been largely removed.

It's actually been on for several weeks - started off at about 5 grand & has slowly been dropping more & more as no one bites. It is possible to restore it but it would be such an undertaking you'd want to be given it for it to be worth a try!

This scope has been discussed before

Yes it has, see it starting at post 5. Let's not sit here and do a whole 'nother thread on this piece of junk? https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=60518

Their comment "Im shock how many people Dont know what this is?." perhaps someone should tell them the truth...........possibly saving some poor beggar losing their $'s?

[Roger Payne]

I was in shock when I saw what they'd priced it at.........

Hi All,

Thanks everybody, I've not seen markings like that before, and didn't want to start a fight, as I'm no expert, but the " I can't believe more people don' t know what this is" got me.
I'm Sorry to bother everyone I didn't realise this scope had already done the rounds. I've not seen it before, and $2,200 seems like a price for a good scope, anyhow appreciate the responses. Looked like it had been really butchered somewhere, if real.

Regards Ian
