    I have worked on 4 so far and while they might look ok on the outside, they are unfathomable rubbish on the inside. If I might be so bold as to say so, all of those I have worked on have had focussing problems (plus other associated bits.....) and all failed again when I subject them to what we call the 'fast' test. That is where they are mounted on a slave a test fired when the recoil is set to FIRM.

    Only my opinion, but save your money, pay twice the price for the real McCoy and you only pay once...........

    I know others have different opinions, but like MG cars that ain't gone rusty. There will be one or two on the planet, but I ain't seen any!!!!!!!

    Peter, I wish they were only twice the price. I would love to have a real T in the worst way but the prices have climbed to where I am out of the game. A young family and bills to pay take priority. I will never be one of those old guys with a half a dozen T's in the basement never seeing the light of day. I am going to build a clone and go enjoy it as often as I can.

    I have heard back from Warren and he thinks that after he has gone through the scope he seems to think they will be reliable enough for what we are doing with them.

    I am going to give one of Warren's a try.

    Thank you all for your opinion.
