I just got my 1923 Mauser 9.3X62 back from NECG after having them replace the claw mounts that have been missing since G.I bring back of WWII

Here's the deal. This is a Hella 2.3-7 mod.27L2 Tapered post w/crosshair. I figured out the focus locking screw no problem, but as NECG had this gun a year or so I don't recall there being an issue wth power adj. (I bought the scope used) I can't get the power adjustment ring to turn, it feels like it's mechanicly locked at the lowest power.. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something that can be done wrong on something so simple??

Thanks All

Sounds like the rear ring has been tightened too much.

Or the scope power adjuster is to close to the rear ring. Chances are you didn't damage anything.

Nope & Nope... There is no lock ring on the focus, small screw locks down the focus.

The power selector is the only ring.. I just don't want to force anything and cause damage..

Are we talking about the same ring here? I mean the rear ring that surrounds your scope in order to hold it to the receiver, the scopemount that is...
It has happened to me, more than once, that I have tightened it too much. Then you cant turn the magnification ring.
I thought it was that we were talking about.

Asti and me are talking about the rear scope mounting ring. If the scope is mounted on the rifle loosen or remove it from the mounting rings and try the power selector. Did NECG have the scope with the rifle also?

til later

Is there a set screw that locks the power ring down????
