Stripping paint?

[Hillbilly270]

can u not use sandpaper?

Brake cleaner spray might work.  I recently used it to remove a rattle can paint job from a mid-70's steel motorcycle gas tank.  Scrubbed with a toothbrush while wet and got it all off without harming the original paint underneath the "custom" paint job.

Thanks for all the input gents, I'll try the easiest and go from there. I'll report back soon! Later

The easiest would be: send it to me... and buy a new one. Somehow I don't think you're going that route though...

Wet a rag with laquer thinner and loosely wrap part of the scope at a time, it will soften then wipe it with a fresh wetted rag to finish Mark
