FINALLY, got around to doing some pictures after tedious cleaning up the Ajack rig for my 100% genuine Oberndorf High Turret :thumbsup:
I also put the "shooting" stock on the rifle (original stock is a VERY fragile Kriegsmodell stock - see other posts about it). The stock is LATE 44, with 2 piece construction crossbolt etc, and CLEAR e/135 markings. I think it looks good with it on, and of course I can shoot it like this (the original stock is in a well padded hardcase for preservation)
Scope cleaned up pretty darned well - still a little more to do, but slow and steady with oil and bronze wool. SOME pitting, but nothing I am worried about - gives it character for sure!
CAREFULLY disassembled the lenses, and gave them a good polish ultrasonically at a friend's work. They came up VERY nicely, and removed the black grease spots off the insides. I am NOT the best at holding a camera and rifle and aiming down the scope, so bear with it :thumbsup:
Hope you like her at long last. I will do a proper set one day with the KM stock and proper backdrop etc.
