Question for Peter Laidler - No 32 Scope v No 42 Scope

[paulseamus]

Peter

Having read and re-read your Knowledge Library Post "No42 and No52 Sights .....Have you ever thought?", I have a question.

I have recently obtained a No32 MkII scope, #10930 by H.B.M. Co.

The Occular lens is scratched. This scratchd lens is contained in a brass occular lens assembly housing.This housing is about 1 7/16" (36mm deep)

I have in the cupboard a H.B.M. Co. No42 Sight that has an occular lens in "as new" condition, but this lens is not contained is a brass occular lens assembly housing. It is fitted directly into the steel body as per a No32 MkI.

My question - is it possible to have the larger No42 lens fitted to replace the smaller No32scratched lens? That is to say is it feasible to modify either the lens and or the housing?

Thank you

Paul
