Frank,
When reassembling this scope, is there anything special I should do with, or to, the inner parts? 
Bob

Looks good!

Great, Thanks Frank.

Nicest one I've ever seen!

Very nice job on the scope Bob. Looks like new.

Thanks everyone.  This was a fun little project versus the bigger ones that take forever to complete.  

I probably went overboard on the polishing, but wanted to try something different on this scope….just to see what happens.   I see sxs shotgun guys polishing barrels to high levels, 1500 grit or more, before rust bluing, versus the industry standard or 320-400.  So I took these parts to 1200.  Some folks say the high polish will not take the rust bluing process well and I wanted to see for myself what happens.  We were doing a barrel that was polished to 400, and this scope tube, at the same time using all the same products and processes.  The scope parts took the chemical rusting just as quickly as the barrel.  Different steels, yes, but both turned out nice, although we did run the barrel through one more cycle than the scope.  I would say the scope did end up with higher gloss finish than the barrel, which I expected, if the rust blue chemicals took to the metal.

The back mount came with the scope, apparently it is a Winchester mount.  I did remove the top turret because it turned very hard. Cleaned everything up and it works fine now.  The front mount was sent to me by a very kind gentleman on this forum.  He said it was damaged and I could have it to copy.  But, I couldn’t find anything wrong with it, other than the attaching screw hole maybe stripping out.  But for now it is working fine and tightens up nicely to a block.  If it fails I will deal with it later.

I forgot to mention before that I still need to find an eye relief stop, which should not be hard to make if I can’t find one.
Bob

That's a BEAUTY Bob!
Nice work - as usual

Sam, yes, it’s a 3/4 inch tube.  I’ll give MVA a call and see what they have.  Thanks.
