rcvd my new OIP for my Herstal 50.00
As post says,got my OIP overbore scope and case from Constantine in Bulgaria today.It's in great shape, w/ crystal clear optics.
 The finish is great,with a very slight sight kiss on the occular.I was going to dress/ touch up, but decided not to. The case is in real nice shape, no mars or loose stitches. I would like to get some orig lens covers, if anyone can hook me up?.......Does anyone have a translated adjustment manual? or can u just walk me thru sighting in?, can't wait to shoot, and I'm thinking a re-animated SUIT will be going on the market soon.....

Congrats on a nice score !
Original covers are tough to find, and no good for use as the rubber has aged and will generally not be tight enough to stay on the scope, not to mention being unlikely to hold up very long. Abominog is very sharp on the OIPs, he may have an idea on the covers or manual. BTW, if anyone has an original manual available, I could make up a bunch of copies for folks here. I promise to take good care of it while in my possession, too  Don't know that it is all that necessary, but it might be a nice addition for those guys who have OIPs, even if not an "original" manual.

For what it's worth, here's a post with a link to a french language .pdf file on the OIP.

All discussions are to be posted in the BIG OIP THREAD in GFD!
Cross-threading bad! Can't find info later!
