so,., youv owned it 42 years, and have shot it a bunch, and now all of a sudden it wont close on a go gauge? does it close easy on a factory round? if so, your good to go
markings are most likely not legit
the font on the scope isnt indexed like it should be. and not deep enough in one spot as it is in others. look at how straight and nicely indexed the lettering is on this scope
133575133574do yourself a favor, toss poyers book in the trash, compare the markings on your scope, that are likely done on a data plate from a Malcom repo scope, to my original mint scope
