[Sigismund]

Gentlemen, you help will be much apreciated. A similar post exists in the gunsmithing section of the CGN forums.

I have, as many of you probably know by now, a cad scope, and I am now also in possesion of these very well made repro high turret rings.

I do not have the know how to put these two together. If you have the expereince and know how to do this, please contact me. I will ofcourse gladly pay any and all fees involved.

Either PM me or email me at Msigismund@gmail.com

Sorry I advised contacting a person, then I realized it was the wrong guy.

I sent a barrel band to a fellow on CGN who did a similar build, and I believe he had his rings put on by ba fellow in Germany. I forget his name unfortunatly....

Theres a guy in Austria who does this kind of work, however he's booked till next year, and after which he will no longer be offering this service...

I just realized that these rings are 26.5mm, and my scope is 27mm.....

I had been looking through my emails, but couldn't find the information I mentioned to you in another thread.

I then realized that it was originally posted on-line by koldt in the MKL entry (U.S. Knowledge Library), for people who repair M84 Garand scopes (click here).

I don't know if this guy is still in business or if he does German scopes, but here you go anyway.

You disassemble the scope, slide the rings on, solder them in place then re-assemble the scope.

Not exactly easy for the average individual...

[Claven2]

the good news is that the rings can be opened up to 26mm by a decent gunsmith. The bad news is you have to disassemble the scope to get the rings on.

Try contacting gunco in Ottawa in 3 weeks time. They have the ability to do the work, but you'll have to confirm they are willing to take a non-local job.

I just realized that these rings are 26.5mm, and my scope is 27mm.....

So the rings need to be machined out to 27mm + the tolerance, so it's not an interference fit.
