Puteaux 25mm scope problems
Is this an original scope and how do I get it off. I loosened the 2 adjusting screws, the scope now spins but does not pull out. Something seems to be holding it up front. Please advise and thanks.

It does not look original. Originals are so rare they command $3500 each.

Puteaux 25mm scope problems got it out
Ok finally got it out. The tabs marked with arrows where holding it up. Is this an original scope. It is out of focus so where can I get it fixed or does anyone make something I can put in its place?

That looks like a US 57mm AT.Gun sight I put one on mine ! There were 2 large steel Donuts that I had to turn down to make it fit in the sight tube. Turn down a BMG 50 Cal Barrel its a lot cheaper to Shoot. Great little Gun . Service Armament in NJ was selling the Guns for $125.00 and Live Ammo for $2.50 in 1963 Those were the Days !

100% positive that is not the original sight. It is a 57mm ATG sight.

I have never seen one on ebay. I know someone who might have one, but it will cost thousands.

Re: Puteaux 25mm scope problems
I meant a 57mm scope. I found a couple for sale. I saw on youtube a video on how to fix the parallax on scopes. I will try that first. The front lens is held in by rings, the first ring is a lock ring, the one underneath that moves the lens in and out. I will try that first.

Re: Puteaux 25mm scope problems
The optical sight for the French 25mm AT gun is indeed
not a common item. I had looked years to finally locate
one for my gun. The sight is 18" long and has a very characteristic
ball shaped front end. This "ball" nose or rounded shape fits into
a concave inside the sight mount to center the sight to the gun
axis.
Send me your email and I will send you some pictures.

Re: Puteaux 25mm scope problems
Does anybody know is the front ring on a 57mm Scope ring moves? My scope is out of focus and the ring is treaded but does not move on mine. See pic with arrow, does this ring focus the scope? Thanks for any info.
