New (To ME) Alaskan Scope

[bigskybound]

Kind of worn, but should serve. Prices on minty ones are pretty spendy. Has proper style rings to fit my Redfield mount. Lost an auction for correct 3/4" rings for my Weaver 330. Had to settle for 60s vintage two piece rings for that one for now. Did I get a decent deal on the Alaskan?

That's a fairly rough one, but only finish-wise. If you consider the fact that the rings often bring nigh $100, you did good. I have paid that much for one over half a dozen years ago. That early a serial # makes it likely to have been WWII manufacture, 2nd or 3rd year of the war, I'd guesstimate.

The finish actually works for me as I plan on "distressing" my faux 04 to give it that BTDT look.

A little bit of clean up and cold bluing of the rings and caps will go a long way toward making your scope look better.
