I have come across this ALDIS scope. Is it suitable to make a No1 MkIII Sniper repro? And if so, are the mounts available, or just a pipe dream?
Cheers guys.

The scope you have is the civvy version rather than one of the WW1 military issue types. You could always fit it to a SMLE if you wanted to, but you really want the slightly shorter military pattern.
Mounts have been intermittently available over the last 15 years or so, from a few people, including yours truly. At the moment I am waiting for more stocks of PPCo., Aldis Purdey & Whitehead/Winchester A5 mounts. Hopefully they should all materialise at some point this year!

NewbieDan is also working on reproductions of the mounts and rings used on Aussie HT rifles.
Here are a couple of the military version with Purdey mounts. One from my collection, the other fromAttachment 43491Attachment 43490 a friend's.
Think the OP has put it up for sale on that website chaps - although oddly the listing says it's in NZ not Oz.
:bow:Very nice Husk! Don't s'pose either you or your mate would be interested in selling/exchanging? (I have to ask!).

Nah, I saw it on ebay myself but didn't post the link as I was keen on buying it myself! haha
