    Can anyone point me in the right direction(thread) ref front pad fitment. I bought a pair from the US a few weeks ago and the holes don't match my original rifle holes. Anyhow last week I popped into Fultons (Bisley) and they supplied me with a new fwd pad that fits perfectly, reading the build a useable No4T pt 2 thread, Peter mentions removing the adhesive/solder and then screwing the pad tightly to the rifle. Is that about it,bar the fettling required to line the grat up?

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Well I've finally managed to buy a mk3 scope,mount and tin. Catman who frequents this forum has enabled me to get a scope to fit to my rifle, now comes the difficult bit of making sure it's pointing in the same direction as the bore. I shall probably drop it into Fultons for a bit of a service. The scope doesn't look like it's been removed from the mount looking at the stake/ peening of the screws. I assume it will need removing. The lenses have been bloomed judging by the B painted in blue on the side of the scope body.

    Much is discussed regarding repairing No 32's in this and many other threads - Is someone able to give me a rough idea of costs involved in having various issues resolved, thru Fulton's (Obviously our most respected Forum contributor and No 32/No4T sage may wish to leave this response to others to maintain his degree of separation from the $ concern versus the actual repairs he does and is well respected for)
    So assuming I have 2 x Mk1 scopes, (both have serviceable range and deflection mechanisms, and serviceable external conditions) but one has collapsed reticule horizontal cross wire but serviceable lenses, and one has serviceable reticule but cloudy lenses (and I don't have a donor 42/53 to supply for parts) what would I be looking at costs roughly

    How long is a bit of string? To be brutally honest Brnom, it's like walking to the garage and asking the bloke how much it'll cost to fix your car. Absolutely stupid isn't it? Just like your telescope! There are only TWO questions and they they are for YOU to answer.
    Do you want to keep two virtually worthless pieces of junk?
    Or do you want two valuable telescopic sights?

    I could go on but to remain diplomatic and all that I'll leave it for the others

    Hi,
    This is totally off topic and I do apologize, I just don't know where to post it. and this seems like it would be a good spot. I have a relatively rare pair of little 5x Ross Bino's brilliant in all regards, except that the one glued together prism is chipped and now starting to separate too. They are the No5 1936 adjustable focus ones, they made and ended in 1936 only, I don't think they made very many. I am wondering if anyone has a clue how I can repair, or have repaired or reconstructed this one prism. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please feel free to move this to a better spot, if necessary. Please accept my apologies for inappropriate posting. Many thanks for any answers.

    Regards Ian

    Ian,

    Probably better posting in one of the the other forums , Military gear, Watering hole, etc, plus a pic or two as the Ross No5 are not little, and you mention adjustable focus is this on each eye etc.

    If its the No5 then you need to make a jig to align the prism once you separate it,, heat is all you need to seperate them, clean up with acetone then using the jig align everything and cement using Canadianicon Balsam takes time to cure, DON'T use modern cement once its cured usually with UV light its never coming apart again.....

    Bino's

    Hi BigDuke,
    That's really useful info thank you very much. I was envisioning some kind of nightmare scenario, of splitting them with razor blades or something, I'm breathing a big shy of relief.
    I refer to these as small, as they are considerably smaller than the regular no5 or mk5 that went onto great wartime success. They do have independant focusing, and were only made in 1936, approved and cancelled on the same day. They are a lovely set of Bino's thou just mini regular No 5's, even smaller than the fixed focus aircraft mk5's, must admit it gets very confusing with all the 5's being thrown around, thanks again.

    Regards Ian

    Why am I laughing whilst reading this thread?

    Well, let's see .... there are people - first one and then another, asking for sight unseen, reasonably accurate quotes for spares and repairs for various optics, one bloke who has the expertise to actually do the work and a few others who have seen or used similar optics - all on three different continents thousand of miles apart, none of whom have actually laid hands on the particular defective item/s being discussed. All the while it is as Peter said, like asking how long is a string.

    Mate, it is absolutely comical!

    We accept your 'umble 'ologies - well I do anyway - if that's worth anything! Terry Vacani is probably the premier expert/collector/restorer and could repair your Ross binos. You can find his site through a google search; he lives in the UKicon.

    Hi,
    I've just acquired this scope. Would like to have more info. The only thing I have so far is the person who sold it to me, had this scope on his mantel for several years. Before that he used to belong to his late old friend who was a sniper veteran in the canadian forces.
    Reticle has a tiny hair inside the glass. wondering if its possible to remove it ?

    thanks for your inputs
