Has anyone ever completely disassembled a Colt 3x20 scope for repair or restoration? If so, any documentation or advise on how to proceed?

Bump, hoping someone has worked on these.

The booklet I have on these says not to remove the eyepiece. Quote from page 2.
"DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE
EYEPIECE OR OVERCOME RESISTANCE OFFERED BY SEAL LOCK.
(This will destroy the factory seal and void your warranty.)"

I agree with that. But, there is/was another thread where someone removed the eyepiece, and the threads look to be ruined. So- I would use caution.

Yea, saw that. I figure there has to be a trick that Colt used. I was hoping someone knew it.

I had not thought to call Colt, I had searched there web site with no luck.

This company works on old scopes http://www.ironsightinc.com/.

I don't see any mention to Colt scopes, but I'll put them on my list with Colt to call.

I can see there are two rings that appear to be removable around the front lense. Does anyone know if these are gas filled or just air? I would love to play with one to prep it to be re-anodized.
