    I found this comment "Aiming points aside, Galilean sights had their fair share of idiosyncrasies. Firstly, focus was adjusted by the convex objective lens. The light passing from the target, through the objective converges on the concave ocular, there it is focused into parallel beams, and enters the eye. However, the concave lens is not actually required, and an image can be formed by using a small aperture, analogous to the way a pinhole camera forms an image."

    With any luck I can use it without the rear lense.
    I'm not sure if that helps with other Galilean systems though.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
