Aldis Parts Scopes Pickup

[hatrick]

So I just picked these up mostly for parts but kind of got a nice surprise. I suspected the tube was an earlier Aldis with chopped Purdey mounts and sure enough it is. Sad that someone cut the bottom of the mounts off and then tried to cut the rings off. Fortunately they only nicked the tube which I think is fixable with a touch of micro welding. It still has the reticle assembly inside which is also a nice plus with intact reticle wires.

The scope has me scratching my head a bit as it looks like an Aldis but has absolutely no markings anywhere or signs of removed markings. Also it’s longer than any Aldis I’ve ever seen at 13”. The seller said it was non functional and only for parts but to my surprise it seems to be working just fine. It is missing the ring on the front objective housing so I guess I’ll start looking around to see if anyone has a spare.
