Repro sniper scope ID ?
Anyone have any useful tips for identifying original PU scopes and mounts?
A while back I was told to look for flat screws on the caps of the repros. I also noted repros having almost an elctropencil style engraving of the hammer and sickle.
Over the last two weeks I picked up two known repros with very smooth stampings of the numbers and hammer and sickle as well as good quality domed screws on the caps.
The leather lens covers are a deep reddish brown and appear brand new which is pretty obvious but everything else seems very accurate.
I own firearms not to fight against my government, but to ensure I will not have to.
