I've got a 60's era redfield 3x9x ,same model used on the M40 sniper rifle. The inside of the objective lens looks to have some fungus, and I'm trying to get the outer objective ring off but it dosen't want to move. Is there a trick getting it to unscrew?

Did a good repair for me.
"Lyman has not manufactured scopes for quite some time. We have sold the last of our parts and fixtures to a company in Ohio, who is currently making repairs to the scopes. We would recommend you contact them directly at: Parsons Scope Service, 2213 Smith Road, PO Box 192, Ross, OH 45061, 513-867-0820 or psscopes@concentric.net"
Sorry for the thread drift but hope it helps somebody.

In the Army, our Div. Ordnance unit had a mobile instrument shop that regularly took apart field glasses, scopes, spotting scopes & did watch & other instrument repair.
Fungus was cleaned off lenses and prisms using ethyl alcohol as it leaves no residue. I don't recall we had nitrogen to reduce fogging.
By looking through the objective lens you can inspect for fungus on lenses and prisms.
