Does anyone have any idea where I could possibly obtain a replacement Telrad lens? Not the rectangular optical window, but the circular lens. I somehow managed to lose this on one of my Telrads. Otherwise the unit is in perfect shape! It is labeled #2 on the "borrowed" diagram I have attached. I have attempted to find out where these are manufactured and distributed from, but have not been successful! cwy

Steve:

Try this division of Edmund Optics. http://anchoroptics.com/
The Telrad lens is a single convex lens most likely uncoated. You'll need to figure out the focal length which should measure from the lens to face of the illuminated reticle.

Good luck.
