My fake No4Mk1T Sniper, video overview inside, question about weak 32 scope detente

[harmoniums]

Hi guys, I used Capt Laidlers very well written and clear intstructions as best as possible and came up with this:



One question for you No32 Scope experts.
@ 10:22 on the video I show a weak detente on the elevation turrent (worse at lower settings)
There seems to be some play around the setting, any idea how to improve/fix this?

The detent plungers on the repro's are not the best which is the reason I have replaced so many. The repro plungers are a bit off on the profile and do need work or replacing. The early repro's had a lot of slop in the turrets and the detent plunger springs were very week, so a major problem. The current crop is much better and I have "tarted up" a few of the later ones and they seem to be much better. The odd repro scope has also been slightly out of focus and that is a bit of a problem as the OG lens is not easily removable, but I'll not get into that at the present. If you do get one that is out of focus, best send it back for a replacement. I've recently broken down one out of focus scopes just for parts and a closer look of the internals.

Do you have a schematic of how the Detents work? Maybe I can figure out how to fix it
