Slightly Off Topic....Vintage Scope Repair Question
Looking for someone to refurbish an old Balvar 8 from the 50's. It's mounted on a 1953 Winchester Model 70, and would like to keep the scope period for the rifle. It has the B&L external adjustment/mounts. The issue is there are all kinds of black specks on the inside of the lenses. I suspect that black stuff is the deteriorated seals? At one time there was a guy, Larry Weisz, in Eldridge MO that did that kind of work. Located him on Facebook, attempted to message him, so far no response. He had lots of good things said about him on other forums. His published phone number doesn't work, but was probably a landline from days of old. Would appreciate any help.
Thanks, Steve |

That is the same number I tried and was no longer in service. Email also got bounced.
Thanks |

You might try asking your question on Bench Rest Central and Accurate Shooters.

Wonder if you contacted Nazchez Reloading if they could help you find a place for repair. They sell a lot of refurbished scopes and might have a source. Just a thought. Bill K

Foster's,
I had that issue with the same scope a few months ago. I could not find anyone to repair it so I went to E-bay and found the same scope in perfect condition for less than the repair cost would have been. If I remember correctly there were several available for under 100.00. Rider |
