LIGHT, INSTRUMENT, M32
Hello to all Arty types, Being a non-gun bunny Mechanic type (only a Forward Observer for a short time) what does the M32 look like when it is on a WWII sighting instument? I bought one a few days ago not knowing what it was...I thought it was a cool mechanic tool at first, but after investigating it some I guess it goes on a M70C, M70D and M70F or similar sight aparatus. I would be greatfull if some body had photos to post of a unit in assembled configuration to satisfy my curiousity. I have only been around Mk19's, M2 .50's, 7.62 M60's and 60MM mortars, but nothing bigger than that unless you count AT4's. I thought it would be entertaining to have a scope w/ an M32 as an improvised "eagle eye" in my back pack but didn't know if it was worth it. If any one posts on this I thank you in advance.

Re: LIGHT, INSTRUMENT, M32
See..Thats what I'm talking about. I see pictures of the areas of the light/sight where they "click" together to illuminate the reticle but I haven't seen any photos of where the M32 secures to. Is there an additional "retaining band" that mounts to the scope and light, or maybe a clip/ bracket on the turret wall...hmmm points to ponder.
