charlesnarles Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 CRL (my iPhone changes it to Carl, lol)... "Carl" says M38 or M19, so I wanted to make sure an A1 model without the brass band would be acceptable for level 2 and/or 3 Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Most likely you will have to fill it in with bondo and make it look like an M38. that's what most people do. Quote
charlesnarles Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Vern! hoped you'd chime in on this. It's listed by a trusted vender as converted. Could I ask your opinion on whether he's filled it already? (He just hasn't responded yet) Can't find pics of an A2 without the band and it looks like there might be a stripe of fresh paint. I see that it's thinner than the 38 he's also selling but you're the expert. If not, how's the 38 look? I liked the A2's clean paint job but I was originally looking for a normal 38.

Locitus[Admin] Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Yes, that first link is a converted scope. But why don't you ask Felice? He's also a member here. Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 That particular one is good. He did a great job. Quote
charlesnarles Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Posted May 25, 2015 I've pm'd him on here and the rpf, I'm sure he's a busy guy tho. Thanks everyone Quote
Felice Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 With two Kids I'm really busy:-)) Yes, converted means that i filled up the cap. It looked like an M38 just the number on the side is missing. But this scope is sold:-( and my source is empty. If you take a look into ebay you will find some scopes. But don't pay more than 100$ for an M38A2 and not more than 160-170$ to an M38. Over 200 is too expensive! Cheers, Felix Quote
lantern27451[501st] Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Is there any tut for converting an A2? Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Is there any tut for converting an A2? Cover the gap in bondo. Sand until smooth. Compare with profiles of a M38. Rinse and repeat until satisfied. Paint it black again. Quote
clutch Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Is this an A2? When the Falcon first lands in the DS. ---------- Edited October 7, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
charlesnarles Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Posted February 23, 2016 Might be a greeblie on top causing the change in profile. It does look like it tapers down tho Quote
