    Ok, contacted another microfilm outfit today as the first guys never got back to me. Received the machine I bought yesterday. Ugh... No documentation, so it's a boat anchor. Nice, long conversation, and I am happy to report about 15 test images have been sent. They will produce my test...

    Compare it to the finish on a Gen 2 "satin" scope I did... Same scope. Different branch of the military.

    Pre Gen1 (Bear Cub) Zoom Ring: For those interested, this is what a part looks like once it's anodized. You can see the a titanium like hue to the part. I know right away if I pull a part out of the electrolyte tank if the connection went bad. The cap behind it isn't anodized.

    Nah, don't want to bother with ART IIs. Don't have and cannot get parts. Ironsights has those. AR TELs are just generation 2 Redfields, so lots of parts out there. The green color I have is the final color. It's OD Green, a bit dark, but I don't have the time to experiment anymore. This is...

    Nope, NOS Base I picked up for a few hundred bucks. My scope. I bought it real cheap ($800) change the glass, fixed the thumbscrew and now re-anodized it. Brand new now. The original base I have has a little play in it, so I picked this one up. Have original R marked lens caps and a carry...

    Ok lads... Couple of things... Bought a vintage portable microfilm camera. I know, I'm nuts. I gotta do this. If it works I can convert any cross hair redfield to Accurange. Gotta a couple of Greenies for sale soon if anyone is interested. Right after I try and make these tombstones...

    Have everything out to a service firm, waiting for them to get back to me. Either that or I'm going to buy a microfilm camera setup. There are a few on e-Bay.

    Exploring another potential avenue for producing these. I'm surprised it didn't come to mind before... The black part at the bottom of the tombstone should have given it away..... Here's a hint....

    I'll tell yah... I came up with this template to use for adding the stadia lines when I first started, but got to a point where I can do it just by eye, light and the reflective nature of the wire, and it's much better.

    I'm excited about some new dyes I've finally acquired. Found the company that sold me OD, and discovered they also have an Olive EG. You guys who've had your scopes done in the last few months, this is the OD Green I used. The ones above are the Caswell OD Green, which is a bit too dark...

    Thumbscrew fabrication. Top Real one bottom. Trimmed and hand turned it to soften the diamond knurl pattern a bit. I searched high and low for suitable base screws to use, and this was the closest I can find unless I fabricate my own. If you have a lathe I would be happy to give you all...

    Well, this laser stuff was a waste of time. I kept asking them to use the right dimensions for the image I sent them. .20" x .004" For some reason it went in one ear and out the other. Kinda confirmed this when they sent me the image in the post above and I thought if that's the guy's thumb...
