With thanks to Advisory Panelicon member Peter Laidlericon, an interesting new article presented in two parts has been added to the Technical Articles for Milsurp Collectors and Re-loaders (click here).

Spotting/Observers Telescopes (by Peter Laidler) (click here)

Here is an article by Peter Laidler from the Small Arms School at Warminster on his observations over many years of the spotting/observers telescopes that found their way into the sniper rifle CES. Peter asks me to remind you that this isn’t exhaustive and as it’s based on memory and some of his old workshop notes, it does truly reflect the trials and tribulations of the times. Naturally, he'd welcome any feedback and comments.

By remarkable coincidence, even this GS telescope, borrowed just to photograph for the article had been repaired by using a what looks to be shorter Scout Regiment telescope front shade!
