My LE sniper gets it's telescope

**burpgun** · 06-22-2009 06:10 PM

Thought I'd show off a before/after of my No4. I finally obtained a No32 scope with genuine bracket. Sadly, the eye lense cell is damaged. The only other problem I see is a missing screw head securing the erector locking segment. BTW, I used Peter Laidler icon

's book to guide me through my inspection. I'm certain many are more clever and adventurous than I, but I would not want to attempt any disassembly of one of these telescopes without his book at your side. I also finally found some time to remove the varnish that was on the stock and work in a new linseed oil icon

finish. Does she look as beautiful to your eyes as she does to mine or am I just in love?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Very Nice and great job with the linseed oil icon

If it's just the brass eye lens cell and locking ring that's damaged as opposed to the cell and lenses, then I'll send you a new one. Or alternatively, just use one from a No53. But if you CHANGE the lenses, you will (?) have to reset grat and infinite focus
