I bought the scope for a whopping $95 clams, for a very specific purpose; to comply with the “classic modified” category in an upcoming novel telescopic match on the 26th Nov. It’s going on an m17 milsurp. I wasn’t going to test it until come the day - but I think that’s a pretty dumb idea haha. Think I must see if I can destroy it beforehand…

Strips of Coke can to shim it.
Better way would to machine some shims out of plastic.

That scope isn't old it is ancient.
It will date from the 50's or early 60's and it is mostly a Japanese rendition of a pre-war German style scope, without the quality, largely intended for the bottom end of the US market.
First thing to do is to shake it vigorously near your ear (provided your hearing isn't too far gone) and listen for any rattles. If you can hear any then forget about getting any joy from that scope.
The failure points will be perished internal seals and the screwed on objective bell.
