It may interest you to know that both of these scopes are free mounted which means they have external adjustments and are basically held together with bailing wire and duct tape. If you had bothered to read the thread you would know that. Well 1yesca, I didn’t offer him anything. It’s the old saying “Money talks and BS walks” It never ceases to amaze me how the arm chair professionals can sit back and ridicule an honest assessment but if you ever tell them to show the money they seam to get very quiet.

In Canada we spell “INSALT” as insult although that could be one of those silly French things like color and colour. So before you jump on some one, THINK! By the way …. It would take me a couple days to make a set and I know because I have made them. The only way you can get the rings for them is to cannibalize another scope or have some one sit down and make a set for $60 an hour. I believe (precision tools) mentioned $200 to $300 just for the adjustable mounts. On top of that if something goes wrong, which is already the case they are very expensive to repair. Both of these scopes are merely collectables like Model A fords and old tube type radios and they are worth EXACTLY what you can con some fool into paying for them. They would never be used for anything else. Outside of being curios and something to mount on a light caliber period rifle for look and nostalgia they really have no real use. Quite literally they are first generation technology and their optics have the clarity and light gathering capabilities of a drinking straw. 0005 edm wire if they make it in that size.Īnd the offer of $200 for the pair that was not an offer that was a down right cheep insalt It would be a fair deal for everyone considered.

I also bet it will be a few months before you see your $500 back in your pocket so I stand behind what I originally said. $800 - $500 leaves $300 in your pocket which is fair considering all the running around you will have to do to pick them up, get them fixed and sell them. Now we have this little thing we call mathematics which you may not be familiar with. The repairs will probably be about $300.00 for repairs shipping and phone calls for the pair. They will end up selling for $800.00 for the pair. Put them on Ebay for $900 as I suggested. I must admit its good money for me when some one turns a simple job into a nightmare, as I charge by the hour like everyone else. People bring in guns for me to fix all the time. Nor do I ever attempt to tell others to do the same. But as for myself, I have always made it my policy never to destroy something that I know absolutely nothing about. I’ve watched it done it’s really not all that complicated if you have the tools and you know what your doing. I have had several old Unertals pushed from ten to twenty power, filled with nitrogen and the threads sealed with grease.

KenWell Ken I’m sure that if you were not so busy you would hunt down some wire and install it for free for the gentleman. 003 for heavy cross hairs there was a guy selling the wire on ebay.

As for your offer of 200 for the pair that offer STINKS. Speed The Old scopes like the Unertl,Litschert, Malcom,Lyman,are not sealed or gas filled.
