Kahles Mignon 4x
|
I have a Kahles Mignon 4x which has an eyepiece which is fixed , unlike another I have which can be removed .
I am looking to replace/ change the soldered upper mounts which requires disassembly of the scope to melt the soft soldered half rings .
Question : how is the Mignon dismantled .
I have disassembled the 2 1/2 power 22mm German scopes but the mignon seems a bit more complex .
Any help would be appreciated .

Thanks for that . The reference you supplied might turn out to be useful in the future .
Actually i think I shall be alright with this work .
I have taken off the eyepiece and can now see that the focusing ring is held in place by the inner housing of the erector lens itself rather than a simple nut as with Hensoldt and Zeiss .
Dunlap explains all this in his book GUNSMITHING but rather superficially .
I intend to proceed as with my experience with the German scopes and hope that Kahles copied them .i.e. after removing the focusing ring I shall remove the adjusting turret and see if it is much the same as the Hensoldts.
I hope that the graticule cell can be pushed out of the tube without damage as the Hensoldts permit .
I shall report on my progress or misadventure at a later date.
Thanks again .
