    Looking for IWS / SS20 replacment Lens NSN Number

    Hi folks,

    something im looking for some years now is a replacement lens for my IWS. As they were available back in the days as separate items sometime even issued with the whole IWS package, there might be some around somewhere.

    Here the NSN Number would help me alot searching that hard to get items.

    Thanks for the help.

    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.

    The NATO Stock Number is only used by NATO supply techs. And nobody else
    Perhaps if you described exactly what you need(pictures preferred) one of the lads can help.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Its this part, or to be more precise the screwed in lens assembly inside this part . Photo from Peter Laidlers article about the IWS series.



    From the time these where around it does not have to be a NSN Number but any MoD Stock Number. I just want to expand my several search routines with more keywords to look for. You never know what pops up with some luck here and there

    Thanks!

    Ah......., alas, that part came as a complete assembly I'm afraid. The parts list shows everything separately but as I point out time and time again, the parts list is a list of PARTS and not a list of AVAILABLE parts. I'll see what ±I might have. But just ahead if this lens assembly was a set of focussing rings and then another large dia threaded ring to lock the assembly into pl;ace as I recall it from memory
