Reproduction Scope Tins?

**ickmann** · 01-28-2011 09:13 PM

Has there ever been such a beast? If I had the resources, I think that I could make a small fortune. Anyone else had the same idea? I take it that the repro scopes just came in a cardboard box eh? Actually, I am more curious because I would like a couple of tins for my scopes. Even a couple of soft cases would do just fine.

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Have had the same idea....have seen them advertised on WTS from time to time. No idea of the source or quantities available.

Knowing what I paid for my original stilll causes me sleepless nights!

Actually, it looks like Numrich not only had the scopes, but they also had tins, lens covers and adjusting tools also, all now sadly sold out. I don't know how I missed the other stuff.

Everyone WANTS this stuff but nobody wants to get it put into action. It's called putting your money where your mouth is chaps. A few hardy souls on this forum have done it but, alas, not with the simple things like cheap, wrapped, fabricated, mild steel scope cans that would be an absolute doddle to make....................

Well, there you go!

I think AAS is of bad reputation, yes? Or is that someone else?

I think "arse' is the one you were thinking of, shurely?

He is at the War and Piece show, seen him a few times does all repro gear, EURO 995 ( £854) not a bad price for the whole kit to build a No4 T. his No 32 mounts where OK, and good quality.
