    All that aside, with a bullet hole through the side it WOULD have allowed light into and onto the optical path and this WOULD cause light aberration and cause a fuzzy or hazy picture. That's why we also do a light transmission test. That;'s also the reason why the insides are matt black. That's also the reason why there's such a thing as a stop-down tube.........

    It might be tough but it'd have been unserviceable as a sniper type telescope thereafter

    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 ...

    Wasn't the No32 scope originally intended for the Boys... Or was it the Bren? Can't recall where I read that, but figured this conversation is the place to ask...

    Which of the Japaneseicon factories actually builds "Night Force" brand?
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Rob, I thought the glass was from Japanicon but the scopes were built in the USAicon but I could be wrong.

    .........and yes the lads do jump with their personal weapons regardless of what its intention, which includes the sniper Platoons rifles.
