The only difference with our Malcolm Optics is the glass.

The company continued in business until WWII, even though some new optical technologies, which would make these telescopic steel tube scopes obsolete.Īs a tribute to William Malcolm, our modern Malcolm vintage reproduction scopes are constructed to same specs with the general look and feel of the original scopes. The Unertl Optical Company developed a scope that offered an unprecedented 10x magnification, which would later be attached to the US Marine Corps M40. By the turn of the 20 th Century, Malcolm had become the leading scope manufacturer in the U.S. Also have a copy of the original factory owners manual, for the entire line of. (200-300 unknown) The Unertl 10x with a T sn was offered as a civillian version, once again I am not sure anyone would have records as to the exact number. A call to them might get you an exact number. US Optics has made several runs of the MST-100.

TRECustom: Both my Unertl scopes have the serial s' below the Unertl logo on the left side of the tube, directly in front of the cross-hair retnetion ring, held on with 3 small screws. Re: UNERTL Sniper scope 10x USMC There is a difference. In 1855, William Malcolm started building riflescopes. John Unertl founded the John Unertl Optical Company in 1934 and the company manufactured military. They are known for their 10x fixed-power scopes that were used on the Marine Corps M40 rifle and made famous by Marine Corps Scout Sniper, Carlos Hathcock, during the Vietnam War. However it would not be until the mid 1800s that rifles became sufficiently accurate to require a telescopic sight. was a manufacturer of telescopic sights in the United States from 1934 until 2008. These had all the optical quality that was necessary for a rifle telescope. Good terrestrial telescopes were being built by the early 1700’s.
