Cleaning No32 Scope

[goblin357]

My No32 scope is like looking through fog, and it's getting annoying..

Is there a guide anywhere to cleaning it?
Do I need any special tools?
Should I even attempt it?

All advice eagerly accepted :-)

Peter Laidler ought to get you sorted, directly. He is in GB, so it ought not be too complicated. He may have you send it to a local dealer, so please wait for instructions.

Not a chore for any but those familiar with the inner workings! (Or those willing to take a chance at damaging or destroying the scope...)

Try posting a picture from the ocular end.
It could be a lens separation and if that is the case the lens will have to be removed, and re-glued. If it is a Mk.I and the lens is scratched or beyond repair, I have new lenses. If a Mk. III that is a different matter. It is still very repairable, but you have to pull the cell and then the lenses.
A lens separation will look like either spider webs or brownish staining normally from the edge towards the centre looking like scallops.
Where are you located???

He appears to be in England. Click on the little blue circle on the bottom leftish side of his post to get his rough location (it's not exact, but ought to at least be in the correct country.)

If he was in Canada, I would have run him your way, Wheaty.

Hey, hey fellas.........., Peter Laidler here - and he absolutely HATES doing these things. He only does them so that shooters can keep them up and running. Don't contact me direct as I never deal direct with the public. Try Fultons in the UK or BDL in the US. There are many others who actually enjoy it who are more experienced than me too..................

I'm in the UK in Wales.
I'll have a go after reading the articles posted here.
It's not broken or anything, if I shine a light down the tube I can see a haze on the lenses so I think if I can get it apart a little rub with a cloth will sort it out.
Thanks for the replies.
If I don't get anywhere I'll take it to Fultons next time I'm at Bisley in March.

Valley sniper is a dab hand at these, and he lives in Wales too. You probably know him - he drives a red car
