No32 scope measurements

[trooper554877]

Hi all,
This may have been answered before but can't find where.
I am some measurements.
the brass tube on the front of the scope, and the dials.
I need all the measurements to make a repro set for my K3 weaver.
My idea is to make it as close as possible.

The tube will be simple enough to make and the dials I am going to make them screw on to the cap thread allready on the scope and then leave the centre open enough to allow access to the adjusters.
Don't know if it will work but if I can get the info I will try.

Cheers and thanks
NED

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but there's an entry in the England Section (click here) of the MKL (Milsurp Knowledge Library), showing the dimensions of the No.32 scope, including the measurements of the cross wires etc.

Note: After you click on images to ENLARGE them, you may find they automatically size smaller in your browser's window making them harder to view. The auto sizing is your browser's way of keeping images entirely within the screen size you have set. Move your mouse pointer to the bottom centre of the pic and you will see an options panel appear. There will be a small square box next to the large X, which will have a pointer arrow sticking out of it. If it's illuminated, it means the pic you're viewing can be enlarged, so click on this box and the pic will EXPAND and open to its normal size.

Also, Peter Laidler has published a two part article series on how to rebuild a totally unserviceable scrap No.32 telescope, which you also may find helpful ...
