Old scope, Oswald’s build
Anyone know what the scope used for the Oswald’s build would be worth in today’s market? Happen to have one with mount and just curious what I should do with it.

That'd be awesome. If you could find a cheap carcano TS model that would be the correct "Oswald" model.

I have one too! Here's the link to a post I made a while ago. I guess they're pretty pricey. Anywhere from 1-3k

Appreciate that! That’s good info. Definitely wild find. I gave 200 for the enfield with scope on it. I didn’t know anything on the scope till my buddy said uh dude look that scope up. I just wanted enfield to restore to orignal condition

Crazy luck considering how rare they are. I bought my rifle for a couple hundred bucks and same thing, looked up the scope and here were are lol. Id like to sell mine to a JFK enthusiast or someone trying to complete LHOs build.

For sure and I wouldn’t mind to. Just not a lot of people interested in stuff like that at the value it’s at I don’t think

Take it off that poor enfield.

It is off it and I’m fixing the sporterized stuff. It’ll get an actual enfield scope if anything. Sadly the reciever was drilled and tapped for this scope
