I'm fairly mechanically inclined, and was wondering if it's possible to change a scope reticle, specifically on an older German scope myself.  Is this a question of removing an assembly that contains the reticle, or glueing thin plastic in?

Years ago I had an old Redfield scope with a broken crosshair.  Being the mechanically inclined guy I am, I figured I'd just repair it myself.  I had the "smart" idea of using  human hair for the reticle.  It looked like two log had been used for a crosshair :)  That put an end to my scope repairs.
