Pattern 1918 AOC Scope interchangeable parts.
I am asking if anyone knows are there any other military sighting telescope's that the parts are interchangeable with the Aust AOC Pattern 1918 scope?
Like the No42 and 53 telescope erector cell and lenses are interchangeable with the No 32 scope.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I sure wish there was...
If you do find out or someone else knows please let me know.
I got some made and got stuck with them... everyone bailed out.
Took 10 years to finally get rid of them.

No, I don't know of any other commercially available scope that uses the same lenses as the Model 1918. The design was 'lifted' from the Hensoldt 'Light' telescopic sight, but how near the optics are I don't know. Pretty unlikely that they would be directly interchangeable.

Even within the scopes there is an interchangeability problem.
Then you add in the British Patt.18 scopes the chances lessen even more.
I suspect the AOC scopes were made in small batches and were not of serial manufacture outside of the batch.
Anyone else care to chime in......
