The Ajack scopes are dated as manufactured in either 1941 or 1942 , not by model number . About half of the estimated 4000 Ajack scopes are dated 1941 and the
last half 1942 . I am guessing yours is numbered over 2000 ? The "B" is a stand alone letter for the 1955 upgrade . There is no M42b sniper !!!!!!!

The serial number on the M42B is 1930. Thank you for your reply. Bnajomike

Your serial number helps narrow the number down to less than 1930 made in 1941 and more than 2070 made in 1942 ( estimates at 4000 total ) . There are no
records that referance the Swede Ajack scope production .
