When your scope brakes

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I had my leapers scope brake on my a few weeks ago and i had to machine off the side cap because all the screws were stripped and i couldn't un-do it. I pulled it apart the to fix the pin that came out the other day and she was ready to machine up a new cap to put back on so i can use it again. 

Here are some photos of the process used to make a new cap.

The scope is ready to go back on the gun now and re-range and zero.

	This is the latest addition to my machinery :) Yep a new Digital display unit with matching slide scales for the X and Y axises which will make my machining a lot easier now :)
