. edited for PhotoFuckit ransom that I will not pay.

I went to my local hardware store today to pick up some Nylon washers for cheap to try and make my own Zero Stops , 1” OD x .75”ID x 1/16” thick.


I marked Optical center with a red Sharpie for reference back when I need to ……..

So I installed 2 and got very close to what I needed, which both together measured .258” thick.
For every complete full rotation it changes by .025”.
To de-gas the turret I used a piece of paper and cut it to look like this with a slit down the middle to help release the air.

After tightening the 3 set screws on the turrets to 5 in/lbs I gently removed the paper degasser…….

Okay, I made a formula for the Zero Stop Shim to use with the SWFA SS scopes for you DIY guys. :biggrinn:

Zero Stop shim thickness = (.165”<->.168”) – (.0005” x # of clicks from Optical Center to your zero)

If you prefer a slight overshoot use .165”, I got about 4 clicks pass zero which I like better.
If you like to be closer to your zero use .168”, if it’s under you can always remove a bit more.

NOTE: You must count the click from Optical/Factory Center, if you lost that position you will need to Optical Center your scope to begin to make the shim(s).

I made a jig with scrap wood to sand down the nylon washer to whatever thickness I need.

danish customs didnt care about the military grade scope that had export restrictions on it…they just slapped customs and tax on it and passed it on

however if US customs catch you sending such an item out of the country its a nasty letter and fine.

im on the watch list at danish customs, and they refuse any parcels with anything that might be gun parts….even a gun sock got returned….WTF….pulled it out of the bag and wrote scarf on it and it went through LOL fucking motherfuckers

Thanks
