I would not have believed it either, but it did work for me. I stretched the strand over the reticle, and it gave a medium crosshair that is still in service. I ended up using some strands of elastic material from a set of fine, light dress socks. I think that is the ticket for most that want to try such themselves. One sees some sales of tungsten wire on Ebay made for fine and medium crosshairs.
I thought I would be smart and use a strand of human hair, the result was like having a reticle made out of telephone posts. I took the eyepiece off and removed the reticle tube that housed the crosshairs(wires). I once bought an old 15x or so Unertl that had some cosmetic issues and drooping crosshairs. I'd love to see some pictures, if you could post them.I am probably a bit dated, but when Unertl repairs are thought of here, I seem to think of Parsons or Ackerman. They're also good scopes but with internal adjustments and go for 1/2 to 1/3 the price of an Unertl or Lyman.
You might also look at Lyman Super TargetSpots. Your rifle, with the original box and documented provenance could command a premium at the right auction, but you never know until you go to sell. I've seen them go for as much as $275, when you can find one. I believe your rear sight should be an International Mk8. I bought a 52C Heavy Target in 98% condition for $1K less than a year ago. What might it be worth as if I would ever sell it? I've always wanted to scope it but just never got around to it while the items in question were available. (Chicago), the Univ of Chicago Jr rifle team, (yes they did have a rifle team) and the 8th Inf Div. The rifle has some history in it for me since I shot it in competition at Loyola Univ. It is like new in a Freeland hard box.Īnyone know a source for Unertl rings, and a Unertll scope? The rifle has a pair of bases on it so I guess I'm OK in that dept. I have not shot it in competition for 44 years. I have a M52C, bull barrel, Olympic mk8 rear, Olympic front, etc, I purchesed new from Freelands in 1961.
