  • Scope windage adjustment

    I have a pre-war Männlicher-Schönauer Model 1903 Mountain Carbine. It has a period Zeiss Zielvier scope mounted on it. The windage adjustment is built into the scope mount. The adjustment screw/bolt has a square head (0.168"). Does anyone know where I can find a tool to adjust the windage?

    cwbuff,
    I suggest you try a clock repair a clock repair shop, or an antique shop/flea market, for various sized clock keys.

      Mike,
      That is a great suggestion. I have a 19th Century German clock. I'll try the key. Thanks.

        cwbuff,
        The clock key you will need (in "clock arbor" terms) is either a size #8 or #9, depending on the maker of the key (those manufactured in India tend to run a bit smaller). The winding key to your German clock may very well fit, but could be larger. Keys are readily available on-line from Timesavers.com if you don't have a jeweler nearby.
