I was looking at the tube weights trying to decide whether to paint them satin black to match the scope or use a bit of elbow grease to see what lurks under the paint ........
This time it was a case of draw filing to remove the saw marks, then arris the corners, followed by 320grit, 800grit and autosol paste to uncover the gem within .....................
1600hrs: One down one to go! (then I will have to clean the kitchen sink before Jen gets home)
Here are before and after pics (Thanks again Lars, these are just perfect for the Istar)
I think I will need to find a brass finderscope for the opposite side of the scope to keep things balanced ...... brett (bert) I hear you have one hidden somewhere
Edit: 1730hrs Another little job finished!
