Montieth Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 So, it came to my attention that the Russians more or less copied the Vickers Mk 7 type AFV periscope back in WWII and have been using them up to recently in their support vehicles. Notably the 2S1 as seen here. Has anyone had any success in sourcing replacement prisms and other optical bits from Russian AFV surplus sources or even current suppliers?

Montieth Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Whole Periscopes or just prisms? How did they compare size and fit wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
