In case anyone wants a primo set for a steal… those fiberglass tube cases alone go for real$.

Not affiliated with this auction… I just know there is always a demand for these here in Vintage.

Man that would be sweet next to my M40a1. I'm tempted

It would be fun to get a bunch of VN Era kit to go with my SSA M40.

Sold… did one of you lucky guys get it? The tubes alone can run $300… and not that nice!

Commercially produced versions of these scopes and tripods can be had for around $125

Argus Scope

They pop up fairly regularly.

Bushnell Sentry and older Kowa are very close.

I used to have that entire set in my kit, it was issued to me for shooting team work. It is honestly kind of a shitty scope. When I retired and had to turn a bunch of stuff in, it was the only thing they specifically wanted back. We also had a bucket of M24 flash hiders we used for a door stop. Those suck and change the point of impact so they were not popular. If I had only known people collected them, I'd have brought you guys some flash hiders. At some point, they probably got tossed in the metal recycling.
