Please Help ! I need measurements.

Post by Oldrelic »

Hi everyone, I REAllY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME !!

I have a MG42 DUMMY GUN on a Lafette Tripod.
This is in my private collection and, I also use it at our local
military museum for display when we have outside Historical
events.

It may seem to be a Siliy question , But ............

I have a Non-Shooter on a Lafette. I would like to try to make a Mock MGZ Scope
out of Wood for the Lafette , Being as accurate as possible to the original.

Could anyone tell me The basic measurements of the MGZ Lafette Scope
shown in my photos. ( I HAVE POSTED PHOTOS OF THE MEASUREMENT
LOCATIONS NEEDED).

Please if able, send Measurements in INCHES, that would help.

I have NEVER handled one or seen one in person , so I don't know
where to start in Sizing it ??

I could not see spending the money on a Real Working Sight , Knowing
in fact it would be used for nothing but "Show".

It would be GREAT to find a "Burnt Out" or Non-Working Shell MGZ Scope.
I would consider purchasing that to fill the Optics Block, (at a reasonable price).

But for now , I want to try to make one out of wood, I already have the
Metal Sight Base.

I hope that you can help , I need a starting point to begin my Lafette
"Creation".

Apparently, the people who have this scope haven't been on here lately. Be patient.
