    PU Scope cleaning

    Anybody ever took apart a PU scope to clean the lenses ???

    My lenses are clear but there is a piece of dirt moving around inside the scope and sometimes it sticks to the lense , i sometimes have to tap the scope to get it of the field of view

    I am actually scared to take it apart i really don't want to break it

    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.

    Ok so i mailed Kalinka Optics asking if it was safe to remove the lenses to clean and here is what they responded.

    No the inside of the PU scope is filled with nitrogen to help prevent moisture from building up inside the scope. if you remove the lenses or disassemble the scope you will loose this.


    Thanks for your questions. If there is anything else I can do for you please let me know. To ensure proper tracking and timely response please do not reply to this email, use the web interface link below when responding to this ticket

    Best,
