    making new no32 scopes?

    Hi all, I'm in email contact with a company currently making repros of german and other ww2 sniper scopes. I asked them why not no32 enfield and they emailed back and said why not indeed...they want technical info and more history etc. Anyone interested in picking this up? I'll step out.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Hey, if it was only like those darn 'authentic' 1937 soviet pems, they offer to engrave whatever year and serial you like on it before they ship!

    Pecar "Berlin" have (or rather had) already done it with a copy of the No 32; whilst not an exact repro it was very much in the spirit of the original.

    If you have to adjust it, a N032Mk3 copy is A LOT better.

    The Mk 2/1 has the Mk 3 adjustments but the refined internals of the Mk 2, possibly the best of all the No 32's.(!?)

    RJW -- I've already had Mk1/2 grat block assemblies done, as well as complete Mk3 range & deflection drum assemblies, so anything's possible, though all of mine were made to get original incomplete scopes up & running again.

    It would be interesting to know how much it would cost.....

    I just wonder where you'll go when it's out of focus or when it's fogged up between the inner and outer ocular. Mmmmmmmmmmm
