Adjusting an AJACK scope

[josquin]

I came across this article on Gunboards and thought it might be of iinterest to anyne here who has an Ajack.

From another article on oldguns.net:

Ajack Scopes were German manufactured and of excellent quality, they were first imported into the United States from 1912 to 1914. Stoeger Arms Corp. of 507 Fifth Avenue New York marketed Ajack from 1937 to 1940 and was the sole U.S. agent and distributor during those years. Ajack scopes have individual binocular type focusing, elevation adjustments are internal and are locked in place with a set screw. Windage on early scopes, is adjusted at the scope mount. Starting in 1939 Ajack scopes were available with internal windage adjustments. World War II ended importation Ajack scopes but in 1954, Flaig's Sporting Goods reintroduced the Ajack line to the United States. The last known listing for Flaig's imported Ajack occurs in the 1964 Gun Digest.

I don't have one myself but I have a "Parkerrifled" large-frame Martini in .22 Hornet which was optionally available with a 2 1/4x Ajack "scout" scope mounted tight against the barrel ahead of the action.
