I'm just hoping the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train heading in my direction!
Any reviews on these scopes yet?
I picked up a repro scope a few months ago on Delcampe (french ebay thingy) for my british re-enacting I have no idea who the makers is, but its labeled up as a MK3 when its clearly an mk 1 or mk2. The optics seem to be very ok but as its more a display piece (firing blanks) i could say wether it works for shooting. The downside to it (apart from the wrong MK ofc) is that when i had the work done to fit it to a No.4, it turned out the part of the bracket (the scope came with the pads and bracket as a package) that holds the scope straight was way off and i had to have some work done to it, its fine now luckly.
I have added some pics if anyone could tell me more about this scope :)
I would say that it is definately a repop. Marked Mk3, Mk2 drums and is that a Mk1 sliding eye splitting eye shade? You could also ask the cracking 20 year old blonde in the window if she'll get properly dressed next time. If she'd put her bra on, I'd be able to tell whether the grat post is too narrow or the crosswire is too thick!
I see several things that are different from the ones being sold here in the U.S.. The ones here don't have an eye piece sun shade and the aiming post extends too far above the cross wire. Looks like whoever made this one at least got the reticle close to right.
See that lovely pic of the reticle? Why oh why would the folks that made the Numrich lookalike not copy that exactly as it is? Near enough isn't good enough in the case of these scopes, and it must be costing them plenty in lost sales.
Appearantly Numrich is having a hard time selling the second batch for whatever reasons. I noticed they have them on ebay now, for about $75 more than on their web page. Normally the stuff Numrich sells on ebay is junk they can't dispose of any other way, or at least thats how I see it.
If it's just the graticle pattern that is the problem and they're cheap (or are they.....?) then surely the best thing would be to get one and change the grat for something close to original. That's easy. Or have I missed something?
Any more recent updates on the reproduction Sarco and the Gunparts Corp. No32 scopes ?
