Help needed with old Weaver scope

Opie · Apr 25, 2009

My dad has a mid-50's Weaver B4 scope that is a little cloudy or foggy. The rest of the scope is in great shape.

Does anyone know if there are two separate pieces of glass in the eye piece lens? My dad tried to clean the inside and outside of the lense, and the cloudiness seems to be inside the glass.

Do you guys know of anyone that specializes in the old Weavers that can provide some advice for clearing up the sight picture? Is there anyone that refurbishes these old ones?

Thanks for your help.

This guy used to work at Weaver (El Paso) and may still be in the scope fixing business, he may be worth contacting.

+1 BobR.

Sent a K-6 and K-12 to these folks for repair. Top notch service and reasonable price. What more could you ask for?

What you're probably seeing is lens separation.
