    PPCo lenses

    I'm sure that I mentioned this earlier but can't find where........ But last calls for 1.37" diameter ocular lens, new made, to exact flint/crown glass spec, matched pairs for PPCo sniper telescope

    6 off £103 each (3 pairs) Total £618.00 = £206
    or
    16 off £72 each (8 pairs) £1,152.00 = £145

    Both plus post of course. Already have 2 pairs confirmed. If you want a set, speak now or forever hold your peace!

    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 ...

    Noted that one fellow, down here in Australia,is selling a "new" condition Pattern 18 scope body that has never had internals fitted.

    Understanding that there may be some sizing issues, due to it being of Australianicon manufacture, the scope body may interest someone who is also interested in your lenses.

    Attachment 34961
    Calibre/Item: Scope
    Make: Australian Optical Co
    Model: Pattern 1918
    Condition: Excellent
    Price: $1500
    Advertised: 30/05/2012
    Comment: Near new condition original Australian WW II Sniper scope for Lithgow SMLE
    For those interested the listing can be found under scopes at Used GunsScopes

    Not this time Paul as the lenses I am about to embark on are from the PPCo scope and not the Patt 18 variant. But if they fit.......
