My scope walked in the front ring too jm. The rings screws must be removed, the rings retinned with soft solder and fitted up tight again. A big job as the guts have to be removed from the scope before you can put heat on it. Mines a normal one with a PP Co. scope and has been rebuilt at Woolrich.

IIRC, there was no evidence of the front ring and scope ever having been soldered together. Mr. Sullivan went through the scope- no dramas, and it was decided not to use solder at this late date. I think I finally used a bit of Loc-tite. It's a non permanent alreation. But the thing is I'm not sure we ever went that far...Probably should have recorded all that stuff somewhere. At any rate, if it moves again and there's no Loc-tite, then that's the next step. After that...A pull apart and solder job- or a quiet retirement for the scope. The iron sights still work fine!

I trialled a set of repro rings and a Lyman Alaskan on mine with good results.
Cheers,

That scope drum/knob and dial is an almost exact copy of a WWI German
model.
