The major conundrums I face are: 1) It seems to need some carbon paper or similar material, and I am not quite sure what to use or where to insert it (please be polite on replies to that one). 2) it appears a previous owner dismantled and reassembled the scopes, and I am not certain they are reassembled right. What recticules go on which scope? 3) There is a scale on the bottom of the ball chamber, and I am not certain how to use/read it. Thanks in advance Rob
