weaver scopes repair

have got some steel weaver scopes 3x9x40
which i really like is it possible to have the lenses polished and recoated and the tube refilled preferably here in the U.K.
the micro trac system is excellent and it would be a shame to have to bin them,don't know if weaver still make steel bodied scopes.
many thanks

Hi Griff!'
I guess you have some company in Scotland who can do this for you and if not I know a company in Sweden doing it.I have done this with two old steel Weavers 5 years ago and they still work perfect.

Dear Griff, There prolly is no one on Old Blighty to fix you up but there are several in Germany who might be able to. I sent a scope off last year to El Paso and they charged me $60 for cleaning, disassembly and the replacement of the objective lens unit which had come unglued. Write them at the address above. This company has no email and they don't publish their fax number but you will get a courteous reply within a couple of weeks. Better yet, just telephone them, making sure you have the serial number and model number handy.
