DIY...Scope Power Ring Lever

When your scope company is too cheap to install some type of scope ring lever to a $1000.00 scope... and you refuse to pay their $40.00 for one... when they could have installed some simple type anyways... then you make your own.

Get two breakaway coaster cable ties for about 20 bucks, which is good for two scopes. And they work wonderful... easy on... easy off, just turn the knob for tightening or loosening.

Better trim those ends before you have to get stitches

Yup, go to Lowes or a local electrical shop and pick up a $2 part of Exlite side cuts (flush cuts) and you'll have a perfectly strait cut that isn't sharp.

Cleaver. Easy to use with gloves too!

stitches....????

That is just plastic ends sticking up that I trimmed off with my knife after taking that picture.

that when you run your fingers across it in will result in deep lacerations...which are "fixed" by stitches

NOW... you may need some stitches for these accidents... but NOT for a tiny plastic tip that is trimmed off a tad shorter so that the ends are down inside the barrel nut after tightening it down... which means in English.... the ends don't protrude up at all....so there is NOTHING to cut, scratch, slice, impale, iterate, abrasive, be rough or sandy... etc etc....against your tender little fingers... LOL.

But if your still concerned.... then I'll post a link for a field kit that is used for sewing up coon dogs... it should work for you as well....LOL.

HOW the heck???!!! A hornet case thru the index finger??? ???

Those are not my body parts bleeding... just some pics from past stories from other guys having accidents.


NOTE....

once you clip off the cable ends... remove the whole thing from the scope... twist the barrel nut downward so that those ends protrude upward. and longer.. then clip off another 3/8- 1/2" off those ends, and reinstall it on the scope. Those tips will then be down inside the barrel nut. It will look better and feels smoother...of course.
