Help needed with 03A4 with Lyman Scope - Post Retical

[Brightonknight]

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with some scope questions. I purchase about 33 years ago a 03A4 Remington SN#341xxxx and with two Lyman scopes. The first scope is a M82 SN#16xx. The second scope is a Alaskan, with the same post retical, SN#5435, the adjustment caps #7575180, eye relief #7634670 and the blocks for the elevation/windage with #7634671 on both blocks. Neither block says ALL Weather. These part numbers correspond to the numbers on the M82 scope. The scope came with 7/8" Junior mounts on it and was the scope on the weapon.

I been reading threads about these scopes, when they were used and can't seem to get a definite reading on when the M82 scopes actually were used 03A4s. Also the other Alaskan scope with the military drawing numbers on the parts, is this an early delivered scope or an overstock military parts on post-war civilian scope production from Lyman? The SN is close to the first batches of scopes Lyman delivered SN# 4900-5200 made of civilian parts to the Ordnance Dept. The stamping of the SN#5435 and Lyman info is on the top of the scope tube when mounted. I've included photos of the Alaskan scope here and photos of the M82 SN#1601 for comparison in a following blog.







Thanks, James
