UNERTL OPTICAL COMPANY FULL
Gunny was trying to line me up with a job for when I got out and the anticipated "production" of scopes got in full gear. I didn't know it, but he was a long time buddy of Rocky. He had parts for 7 of them, all stamped for civilian sales.
Just thought I'd share an interesting story about my experience with them.īack in 2002 when I was Lance Corporal (2171) my Gunny trained me to assemble the Unertl 10x scope. I just googled unertl to see what was going on with them until I found they are gone. At least they did not simply stamp the Unertl name on product imported from Asia to make money, and ruin a long standing reputation for quality. I read somewhere that one guy waited nearly 2 years to get his scope. They had one or possibly two people with the ability to assemble what was left so as to have something to sell. I think someone on this forum had posted that the scopes produced by Unertl in the last 5-10 years have really just been built with the left over parts from their past production facility in Pa. They would also have a hard time building the 10X USMC Sniper scope to make money with. The cost to produce the old target scopes these days would be high enough that there would not be much of a general market willing to pay a price that would keep things profitable. I can only imagine that there were maybe a small handful of actual employees hired to bring the pistols into production, if even that. I think they had planned to build some more scopes if they were able to make a go of it with the 1911s that were advertised for a while.
