I have an otherwise very nice WW2 Soviet PEM sniper scope with a set of German "half-rings" soldered on it. From the placement of the rings this is not something that was done for use on a military 98k sniper, but rather for a vintage hunting rifle or drilling.
Which leaves me with a rather valuable and hard to find scope that I would really like to use on one of my genuine original Mosin PE/PEM snipers, but am unable to due to these rings.
Is there anyone out there who has the knowledge and experience to remove these rings without damaging the scope?
