M19 telescope mhr 1942 build

[SlyFox]

MR also used the curved/narrow foot of the '43 for their E-11. Personally I like both. Curious if through RO we'll see wide/straight foot '42 scopes too

Yes MR did use a '43 as the base for their replica, and even it was non-functional which means it can't be easy to do.

Very Possible! there could be '42 scopes in RO. Just from what I've seen so far in trailers and at SW celebration it looks to be only '43 scopes so far, and only resin casts at that! I've yet to see an actual real one. Probably only used for closeups with the real airsoft gun, real hengstler, and real flashlight. All the blasters I've seen so far are completely made of resin.

Good ol' times with real guns might be over :lol But we have OT for that.

Don't know if everyone has seen this before,,, it is a short video of me using a laser to measure the M19 scope ... The replica I'm doing is going to be as close to real as possible...
This was first step... after i got the geometry i started making fixture and programming for the casting and the cnc .

That 3d scanner is awesome! Did you make the sterling barrels in steel too? I cant wait until you offer them, they look amazing!

I already spoke with you about this on ebay but I'll say again, I'm dying for this replica! (Though not super interested in actual functionality, just appearance). Any idea how long this project will take you and how much they'll be? I'm in for one for sure.

I know,,, its become a big priority.. Theres is a big need for it and im ramping it up fast.

Damn it man!!!! Trying to keep my wallet closed, but you are going to make it impossible for me. Truly spectacular work.

For those who have emailed me wondering where you find these telescopes, they are in early ww2 tank periscopes

Good luck happy hunting!

 

[thd9791]

so exciting!

The M19 specifically can be found in M3 Periscopes. M4 might have an M38, and M4A1 seems to have the M77 and M77D telescopes which are similar to M38A telescopes with the extended center.

Definitely following

Very interested too!

If this turns out to be a complete *accurate* kit with brass ends and functional glass sights (proper reticle would be cool too ) than I am DEFINITELY in for one.

Im going to make the aluminum one first....The optics i am still working on...Don't underestimate the complexity of those prisms and lens.They are Still very high tech even by todays standards... go look online at prisms just the 90 degree one are 60 to 200 dollars..The m19 has 4! I looking at having them done custom.. maybe in quantity they will be reasonable
Should know alot more after i get the first model machined......

I know i cant wait for a replica because the original are very tough to find and extremely expensive

The m3 periscope is virtually non existent now...So keep your eyes open!
