    As far as the old Weaver scopes they can be pretty easy to recondition. The first one I reconditioned you couldn't see much through it at all, it was a 4x so I figured what do I have to lose, I took it all apart and found out they are pretty simple inside at least the old ones that is. They...

    the Patented, yes thats right, the Patented RotoWrench, almost as good as a Williams 1999. Circa 1990's. I guess they patented the turning heads??? semi sometimes usable but barely. there is no offset so like a flat wrench. I was thinking if it had a flex joint like those ratchet heads in the...

    Blackhawk 39997 7/16 Gearless Ratchet

    So how do you reverse it? I would put a 1/16 shim stock bent in an L shape into a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter so you could use it. then just leave the adapter on it. Instant 3/8 drive
