Bought a scope.
Its a Hensoldt 4x24 scope for the G3 series of rifles (ie surplus).
Need to get a ARMS mount to convert the NATO STANAG scope mounting to a M1913 Military mounting for the scope mount I'm gonna order for my M1A though.
It has the side mount for the reticule illuminator but doesn't show it in the pictures if it doesn't come with it I'll have to get it, its only 30$ or so so no big deal.
Its coming in from Germany so I got to wait and see how long it will take to get it.

It looks good most of wear looks like range use. Basiclly the knurling's black coating is gone but not too much on the body execpt where it makes contact in the hard plastic carrying case they are issued with to protect it when not on the rifle.
The mount looks in the VG category with very little wear on it, and the case has marks from being set standing up, but no marks on the plastic military "information" sticker on it, indicating it was not used in the field much if at all as well.
The optics seem crystal clear, and for a scope manufactured before I was born (the carrying case it was issued with is dated 1986), its pretty good! Seen brand new scopes at gun stores that cost more then what I paid (about 350$ including shipping) that are not even that clear!

Ether can I wait for the whole set up!
Still waiting on the store to let me know to go pick up the rifle, as well as waiting on the scope mount maker to get his first batch of production scope mounts made up too.
