Rifle Scopes Who can refurbish old scopes?

[hewlett260]

My dad dug out an old scope from WWII that was on his mauser VZ24 before he rebuilt the gun back when he was a gunsmith. Here are the specs for the scope:

2.5-7x with about a 36mm objective and a 26(yes 26)mm tube diameter. The reticle is an old number 1 in the ffp. The markings on it are faded so we can't tell the brand but the design does look like an old ass S&B fucked a Hensoldt and made a baby scope.

Anyway I am trying to find somewhere that could rebuild/ refurbish this thing hopefully in time as a gift for my dad this year. Any help would be great.

We've used ABO several times for old Redfield scopes and have been pleased. Not sure if yours is out of their relm or not.

A picture might help with identifying it. I see you're in Pendleton; might consider taking it over to Duncan's Gunworks (in San Marcos; easy to get to using the San Luis Rey gate, and down College Blvd, and Santa Fe Rd).

Ask for Laslo (Hungarian gunsmith there). Laslo has worked on quite a few guns, and in particular, apprenticed in Europe. He might be able to tell what you have just by looking at it. A real nice guy and a very gifted gunsmith (as in "artist" gunsmith; not a part swapping armorer gunsmith), who has quite a breadth of experience with both American and European firearms and their accessories.

Just a thought...
