Cliff and I were talking yesterday (always a pleasure) and he was curious as to whether or not there were any ref pics of the rod that holds the forward scope as mentioned by TK818. Well, after a little digging I am proud to say we found verification.
In this picture you can clearly see the scope mount with the rod attaching to the lower leg of it. I would guess that if the front of the scope was not in shadow you would see that the other end of the rod goes to the front end of the scope.
Don't be confused by the big blob directly behind the scope. We believe that to be the sandy's hand and thumb.
Here is a pic of the real scope mount for the Enfield No. 32 scope.
[attachmentid=3571]
and here is a pic from the roadblock scene:
[attachmentid=3573]
I believe what we are seeing here is the back leg of the scope mount. Is it possible that the rod described by TK818 attaches to the scope mount at the original screw holes?
