Repro No. 32 scope can - source?

[Robert303]

I bought one from Numrich. Had to pay VAT and Post Office handling fee on import : ( Tin is OK but only one screw fixing takes the other is slightly out. However I've since read on this forum that that was quite common with the originals.

Do they try to replicate all the bumph stamped on the lid like the NSN etc as well?

Hi Gil - it's sort of stencilled on rather than stamped. 2nd pic shows it all fits perfectly inside. This is the numrich one. No comments pls on mk1 scope adjusting device there! It's my only scope tin and is a good place to keep it safe... I'm sure you'll be fine to buy from the far east one - as long as you want 100+ .

[Beerhunter]

No comments pls on mk1 scope adjusting device there!

Not even good ones?

I do not have any problems using the adjusting tool and plan to publish an article on how I do it at some point. (The nub of the article is get the rifle held securely and do some PRACTICE!)

That's fine beery - just not the horrid nasty beastly ones . (I meant comments of the 'why's it there when it's not a mk1 scope' variety).

Look forward to reading it - never quite got to grips with my mk1 in terms of using the tool to be honest - on my 43 4t I've got it zeroed at 300 yards and have just left it there, remembering the settings, rather than properly calibrating it.

[Peter Laidler]

There is no need to EVER use that tool again if you just do what I'm about to say. I listened to another Armourer who learned it the day he found that the tools, both of them, were crap........ Slightly loosen off the lead screw locking nut - the OUTER of the two reverse slotted headed shafts. It's quite wide on a Mk1 and 2, narrow on a Mk3 and L1A1. Now tighten it down so that it nips up the lead screw. That is the INNER/CENTRAL of the two reverse slotted headed shafts.

Set range to 300 or 400 or whatever range you are zeroing rifle. 2 or 3 warmers into the bank followed by a 5 round check group, fore-arm rested, over a sandbag

Using ONLY the lead screw, hold the drum at the set range and zero the rifle using the forumla C=D+R. You know that 1 click is 1" at 100 yards and you KNOW how much a click equates to on the drum, so use this as a good/accurate method of adjusting the lead screw to zero.

Sit back, take flask from range bag and drink mug of tea. Gloat at others while doing so.

If anyone wants me to simplify the above, just ask.

If you are required to take your rifle and reenact the advance into Antwerp or ambush a high ranking passer-by crossing the Reichwald, then is the time to lock up the lead screw lock nuts

Peter,
How disappointing. You mean to say I can ditch the 45 minute lesson using the 7.62 round? ha ha!
