Default REAL Sherman tank gunners scope

Picked up a PERFEX M70 F TELESCOPE dated 1944 and decided to mount it some way to give the idea of what it was to look through the scope and aim it. I used a old metal tripod..

then I took the scope to Lowes to try to figure a way to mount it to tripod.(got a few questions about what it was lol) After wandering around i came upon a piece of plumbing with twist ends on it and rubber seals inside. So it slide over

scope and holds it securely with out damaging scope. Used two hose clamps to secure it to a piece of iron with holes and bought a nut and washed that fit the tripod camera bolt tightened it all down and painted it O.D works pritty good

and is very stable .Also have gunners sight for a m5 stuart that will fit in it.
