Trilux L2A2 SUIT sight repairs/parts?

[sirhrmechanic]

So a few months ago, I broke part of the mount for the Trilux that sits on my FAL (Actually, an SAR48 Match... but you get the idea...). It's a Trilux, ex Brit military acquired in the 1980s.

Does anyone specialize in parts for these? Refurbishing them? I found some folks doing re-illum. But not repairs of the physical scope. The optics are fine, the scope body is fine... but the mount has a fractured aluminum piece.

I can post pictures...

Cheers,

Sirhr

Spare parts are few and far between. Fortunately there are many broken SUIT's and if you are at the right place at the right time, you can snatch up someone's broken SUIT to use for spare parts. Unfortunately, they usually break in the same manner (mounts).

After much gnashing of teeth... I jigged it up and tigged it. Came out fine. Just have to machine two tiny nylon bushes for the windage screw. It’s nice Aluminum. Tigs well.

Wow! I would have written that one off as a spare parts donor. Great work.

Hey, im having the same problem, im having a hard time figuring out how to disassemble the scope to separate the base to reweld. If you could tell how you did your that would be very appreciated

Two years later with the scope not in front of me and after 3 beers.

No.

But I’ll look at it over the weekend and see if anything comes back to me. I remember it being… not hard.
