    A Flood of No 32s?

    I see that well known site has 2 No32 scopes up. The second with a mount.
    Any opinions as to how genuine they are?
    Cost of servicing the first one?

    First one is item no 181 2661 888 20 second is
    Sniper Rifle Telescopic Sight Scope WW2 Lee Enfield No. 4T Vintage Rare | eBay

    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.

    Prices

    Bloke you do not say what Mk they are I, II or III but from what I have seen over the past months as a guide with a mount anywhere from $1,800.oo AU upwards without a mount from about $1,300.oo AU also the one with a mount the pads are precisely matched to the rifle and expecting two bits a sniper T with another scope to be a winner may be a bit hopeful.
    Peter Laidlericon has some really good info on the 32 and the sniper T well worth the effort even has a good section on making up a good repro T if you are going to take the plunge to buy the scope and bracketed one is it a real deal mount or repro.....

    Looks like the chap in Ireland has now gone down the route of splitting up scope sets in order to maximise eBay revenue; I see there are separate listings for scope, mount and tin.

    Think that's the 3rd or 4th set to be split, great shame but I guess he isn't attached to them like some of us would be and its a down to profit, last set added up to around £2200 for the scope, tin, mount and covers. Been keeping a list of the scope numbers as I,m sure another few No4Ts will turn up in the future with the said scopes (probably with some story behind the rifle etc also)

    Shame they're being split up as Dukie says...

    Perhaps we should resurrect that no32 numbers list in the matchmaking section which someone posted as a spreadsheet and add it to this forum as a useful sticky - and add to it as and when genuine 32s are spotted.

    Robert, the scope you give the link to (the Mk1) is perfectly correct, but the mount is a repro (not one of mine - looks like one of the Eastern European flavour sold by our Frenchicon pal, to me). The vendor does not state that the bracket is a copy, but then again he/she may not know.

    BAC are indeed splitting up the scopes/tins/brackets/lens caps to maximise profit, & they may have a few more to dispose of this way, but it won't go on for ever (I assure you)......

    The idea of the spreadsheet is very good. If it gets up and running I'll send the details of the 'Repro' I built.
