[ScharfSchutze]

I was wondering about the DDR use of the ZFK 4 x 25 '74 scope... have one for my SAR-2... has a great user manual but nothng more

... any info regarding specific DDR units that used them and how they trained would be appreciated.

(concrete refernces such as training manuals, photos or declass intel docs would be appreciated).

Thanks in advance!

Is your manual in english?

Dear JA,

My manual and soe other sources are in GERMAN... ach du liebe!

A friend of mine can translate it and print it... any interest? He thought it might be of help, but doesn't want to spend the $$$ if no one will buy it...

Any info you can share about your scope would be helpful... Field performance, maintenence, etc.

( ?did you get an inspection card along w/ the manual & other accessories? I think mine is missing, yet others did get one)

Thanks for the reply!

Mine is brand new scope,rain drop pattern scope cover,black rubber eye piece and black rubber sunshade,cleaning kit-clear plastic pouch with white cloth and lens brush,and manual. All in a brand new rain drop pattern pouch with belt loops and some type of green metal hooks on the back. The pouch has deviders in the bottom for the scope,sunshade,and eye piece. On the inside there is a pocket for the manual and one for the cleaning kit. No inspection card came with mine.
I would be interested in a english translation of the manual for $5 or so.
As I have aready spent $130 on 2 translation programs that would only translate 1/3-1/2 of the text. It seems that technical/optical words are not in either ones data base.

http://webarmory.ixworld.com/manuals/akmanuals.html has a downloadable copy of the english manual that came with my VEPR scope. The VOMZ Pilad 4x32 has the same range finder as the ZFK.
Also http://club.guns.ru/manual/svd/2.html has a downloadable manual for the SVD's PSO-1 scope. It has the same type adjustments and range finder as the ZFK scope.
