Reproduction No 32 Mk II Scope Comparison
- Thread starter Bartok5
- Start date
I will try and help out with the repro 32 scopes for as long as I can, but there are no parts available anymore.
I did have some parts at one time that I shamed on of the manufactures out of, but they are all gone now.
NOTHING from the originals will fit the repro's. Not even the screws
I have loads of parts for the original No. 32 scopes and can basically make a scope from just a serial number.
The tolerance on the repro's is in fractions of an inch while the originals is in thou's.
I should do a photo essay on the condition of some of the repro's I used to get in for repairs.
How someone can twist off a lead screw with a scope is beyond me.
Anyhow, still at it at: 32scopeguy@gmail.com
cheers

To those with scopes here for repairs, I do apologize for the time delay you are experiencing.
I had an accident in falling backwards off ice into a hole and fractured
my spine
I was taking a prescribed cocktail of pain killers and it was hard to concentrate and sit for any time.

Just wanted to post on here as I couldn't find much in the way of reviews before I purchased a No.32 Mk2 from Waffenmeister.
I picked up one early this year, looked great. Put about 10 rounds through it, then the focus dropped out. Took the plate that covers the erector lens off, found it was just a fake plate, and has three smaller staked screws under. No opportunity to adjust. Sent it back and got a replacement, the second one would skip adjustment on windage, elevation was fine. Sent an email and asked for refund, literally got a "not interested reply" from the Company.

Yea, I had similar sort of result with the Waffenmeister scope.
The first one had a weird lack of clarity right at the centre of the image. It took a while before the finally agreed to send me a replacement scope. The second scope elevation turret seems fine at first but got really tight and sticky after a bit. I'm hoping Wheaty can sort my scope out.
Just a heads up, that I will not be repairing any more of the REPRO No. 32 Mk. 1,2 and 3 repro RSM, and Waffenmeister scopes for the immediate future.
I will continue repairs on original British and Canadian 32 scopes.
I have all the parts, lenses and cross hair material and can do custom posts on the No.32...if you so desire
Unless I can get some more parts for the repro scopes, no more repairs.
It is just taking too much time for them as most have been buggered up by people attempting to try and make the repro scopes do what they were never intended to do and just plain poor installations .

If you were speaking to me as the OP, I no longer have any repro No 32 scopes on hand to evaluate. I sold them all off not long after my previous comments in the thread.
Warren, just wondering if any progress ever got made on my repro No. 32? Or am I SOL with respect to it getting corrected?
Thanks
