I recently acquired an old but nearly perfect 1.5-6 Polish Panta scope. It was equipped with claw rings. Since I never layed eyes on the bases, I decided to remove the rings and prepare it for mounting on a Mannlicher Schoenauer. The rings came off easy enough but underneath was what appears to be some dried epoxy or similar adhesive. It is very hard and has a somewhat white/clear appearance. It is not solder. CLP has no effect on this stuff and I want it removed for obvious reasons. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to remove this adhesive while sparing the finish on my scope?
