Does anyone know please if M-40 scopes were used on the Stormtrooper blasters? Any pics?

theres some variations between the movies. ANH had smaller scopes than ESB and ROTJ. i forget which ones were in which movie though. regardless...

Thanks. I know about all these. I also own an M-38 and an M-40. I was interested if there is anyone having a clear screen shot of an M-40 used in SW.

E-11 ANH Variation Guide spots a couple 1943 M38s, which look the same as M40s (so who knows which they really were), so, more or less, yes.

Thanks. Hopefully with the blu-ray we'll know more some day.

Which M40?
1942 or 1943?

M38's are exactly the same visually.

This shot shows all three scopes.

From left to right:
M38(orM40) 1943, M19 (or M32), M38(orM40) 1942

Here's another shot:

M19 (or M32) and M38(orM40) 1943

Han has a 1942 style most of the time during the Death Star scenes although he and Luke switch off and on.
