During this winter we have to start some maintenance and also try to reset the sights, which seem to be aimed badly. We are also interested in the corrector that you dismantled, and want to find out more about how it operates. Would you be willing to share your knowledge and experiences with us ? For example, how do you remove the sights ?

Many thanks
Richard

Hi Richard! Sorry for the delay to replay your mesagge.
I do not have much information to contribute to you, since it is blindly reassembled without having an exploded manual, nor do we know if it is well adjusted. As we only have it as a display, we have not studied the subject of the sight in depth.
If you need other photographs, I will gladly send them.
Best regards
