ZF41 adjusting tools

#1 Post by steve853 »

Hi all
Finally managed to get a genuine ZF41 for my Mauser, so now I’m looking for adjusting tools for it.

Does anyone know where I can get some in the U.K.? The thought of paying £60 to get some from the US is a little galling considering what they are

Unless you can find some originals being sold by a militaria dealer then the repro ones from the USA will be you're only option, other than ordering them from the guy in France that sells a lot of the US repro stuff, which might be cheaper in shipping than getting them from the USA?

Thanks guys,
Looking at all of these options just baffles me, how are they so expensive for a repro item?!

Mind made up, I will make my own this weekend at work

Thanks for your help though

3d print is way to go

Make it slightly oversized, then sand back for tight fit

Hop you got on alright with this (apreciate older thread). I purchased the "special tools" from the U.S for my original ZF41 scope, and then realised 8-) that I could of just made my own.
Spun two already buggard up (by me yes) lee decapping pins in a drill to grind down the end to sizes to fit the drum holes, and just use those.

Be warned, if you have your ZF41 zeroed from a windage perspective , never , never touch the drums again !

I have had mine over 10 years, and the K98 I put it on has the original mount. Back then I made only one adjustment with the drums and it was bang on. I then sent the scope away to be cleaned as the lenses were foggy. When I got it back.. of course, zero lost, so out came the decapping pins.

I'd say around 6-10 range days, spanning over 18 months, and 200+ rounds later I have got it bang on again.
