    Now here's a thing.............

    Before I embark on having some made, does anyone have a spare Aldis OG prism lens - that's the rotatable prismatic lens ahead of the OG lens, used to zero for deflection the Aldis pattern 4 telescope? It's contained within a brass housing but just the lens will do. Can be returned after it's been copied and the optical prescription has been taken
    OR: if it's available for sale, let me know.

    What about this then? Anyone out there got a William Evans SMLE Overhead telescope erector cell for sale or just the rear erector lens. Otherwise it means having to have one made............

    I ain't holding my breath here but it's worth asking...............

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Peter,
    If you're getting aldis prisms made put me down for 2 or 3. It might also be worth speaking to Taffy.

    Got that DRP and have an offer of a loan of an AOC made Aldis that I might take up.

    Any other takers if I get some made.
