Re: Old PST Mod
Hi there and welcome to the forum!
Yes. it is possible to mod a PST, especially where the original scopes objective is rusted. You will need to make the scope used f10 for ideal performance and you will also need an ERF filter in the system.

Re: Old PST Mod
I have listed the AOK Swiss PST adapters needed for this mod in swap and shop if anyone is interested.
