Collimator Find

Post by Wondering »

So, the last of my gun porn pics for today. I found this MGZ40 collimator a while back and it just showed up in the mail, three months later! It has some condition issues, but it's rare piece to find in any condition. There is a small, loose rectangular lens floating around inside. When I feel like messing with it, I will see if I can get to the guts and clean it up a bit. It also isn't rotating at the moment so I need to check on that. The photos are a pretty close up so it tends to make the flaws look worse than they look in person. The dark green paint and red primer underneath match the LWW scope I am mating it with perfectly.

:shock: Boy.. wouldn't that look SO nice on top of my MGZ40! Looks like it could clean up well. Be very careful in disassembly, since corrosion products really make things stick. GOOD LUCK!

I restored an optic a couple years ago with a colimator. Just wanted to let you know that there is a left hand thread in there somewhere. I will see if I still have photos from the job.
