Leather Scope Caps for 03A4

[glindes]

Off topic, kinda

Mr. Turner: Do you make, or can you recommend someone who does, leather scabbards for the M1903 rifles and Win. Model 94 carbines? Thanks in advance. Geoff

Never ran across any scope caps made large enough to slip over the rubber eye cup at the ocular end. All the ones I made years ago were designed to fit minus the rubber eye cup. It would not be difficult to make a larger/deeper cup on the ocular end so as to slip freely over the eye cup. I would suggest making the ocular cup long enough to cover the full length of the rubber.

Will send you a PM about scabbards.

Many thanks to all who have shown an interest

I hope to be under way in 30 to 60 days. I have plenty of russet horsehide and an ample supply of NOS MILSPEC linen thread which is the correct size required for the scope caps.

I will keep the forum posted on the progress.

Semper Fi,

Richard

I would take five sets, if possible. And if you're still looking for ideas, I would have interest in reproductions of the leather scope cases for the Winchester A5 telescope which were used in WWI.

[The Shadow]

I'll take a set.

I would like one set for M81 scope

[Bigbuckeye]

I am in for a set for my M73B1

[Dawelda]

i have a Weaver 330-C, i think it is the same M73B1. if so, i will take one, too!

Put me down for a set for an M73. You will find a LOT of NRA Vintage Sniper Competitors with 03A4s only have a standard Alaskan mounted on their rifles - so an "M73" variation might be popular if it showed up at Camp Perry! Now if someone would come up with a repro Sunshade and Rubber Eyepiece, then we would all have M81/82s! CC

I'm in for a set too, M73B1

[bigskybound]

I will take a set.

I would be in for one for the M73B1 ( display ) , two for the M84s ( what I have on my A4s to shoot ) , one for an M81 ( my M1C ) and a third M84 ( for the M1D ) .
While not all may be " original " in use , they will protect the lens with a " period original " solution.
