I picked up my first Mauser yesterday, an Mm410B, with Zielklein scope on original Mauser mounts.
Rifle S/N is 205490. It has a crack in the stock and a scar right through the BUG proof mark, and the bolt is also missing the extractor. I am expecting replacement of the extractor is going to be a bit of a mission...
The scope S/N is 52722 and while in pretty good condition externally, the optics don't seem very clear and the reticle has some blemishes on it. Unfortunately I got the feeling they were treated/stored in a way which may not have reflected their value.
Is there any way to service these scopes? Are there any manuals out there which discuss their maintenance/repair?
I have Jon Speed's book, however it does not seem like he discusses optics much.
I am expecting Vaughn99 will at any moment come up with a manufacture date for the scope, so I will thank you in advance Vaughn.
I will post pics once I figure out how to upload them...
regards
Jon
