    #32 Scope Repair?

    Windage knob moves but does not move the reticle on my #32 scope. Looking for someone that can make the repair.

    Anyone used this service? Scope Repair Service British No. 32 Sniper Scope

    This is the only repair service that I've found in the US. $310 for their basic service. Any other recommendations?

    Thanks!

    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.

    I know the man they use for this service - he is excellent with the No.32 scope.

    Thanks for the replies. I've found a potential repair man in Canadaicon. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Same deal here. Have a #32 that needs servicing. Can anyone provide solid recommendation for Canadaicon/US or UKicon? I'm in Canada and happy to ship it to someone that comes with strong recommendations. I won't risk the scope otherwise.

    You might want to investigate the regulations on shipping scopes out of the USAicon before sending anything.
    “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.

    Just wanted to post a follow-up. I sent my scope to Warren (AKA "Wheaty") in Canadaicon for repair. Even though he was recovering from an injury, he got my #32 Mk. III scope cleaned up and back in fully functional order very quickly. I had several mechanical problems with the scope including a non-functional windage turret and a stripped friction screw. The scope came back in great shape, cleaned up, repaired, and collimated, and I could't even tell a screw had been turned. Very good guy to deal with. I don't know how much longer he will be doing this, so if you need a scope repaired, I'd get in touch with him. He can also give you tips on how to fill out the customs form so you can get the scope through customs without a hassle.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Just a thought, did you ask him if you could post his info?
    I only ask because I too had 2 scopes repaired by him and then sang his praises here. But because he is winding down he asked me to remove the post so he doesnt get harassed for more work.

    You are correct though, he is a true professional and gentleman.
