Need software for Vivitar Digital 10 x 25 Camera Binoculars

When I bought the Vivitar 10 X 25, I thought there was no CD in the box...... but it is essentially hidden inside the box behind the piece of loose dark paper.

As someone else has previously suggested; if you need another one, download it here;

Do gunsmiths need a license?

Yes, you will need a license to operate as a gunsmith in the United States. However, you won't need a gunsmithing license. As far as I know, no US state requires that gunsmiths have a state-issued license. This means you also won't need to undergo any training or take part in any type of apprenticeship in order to become a gunsmith. You'll become a gunsmith the moment you start claiming to be one.

If you are wondering that type of license gunsmiths need, that'd be a Federal Firearms License (FFL). This type of license is a basic requirement for any business that plans on working with firearms within the United States. To get one, you'll need to fulfill some basic requirements, including going through an interview and an inspection of your future workplace. It's generally not hard to get an FFL.

But again, since this is a general license and not something made for gunsmiths, you won't have to prove yourself a competent gunsmith to get one. You'll just have to show that you understand the basics of gun safety and meet their requirements.

If you'd like to become a gunsmith, this guide can help you get started.

What year was my Charter Arms 38 made? MY serial #67780

It was made after 1966. If you see on the barrel and if it says Stratford Ct it was made 1970-1980. The current manufacturer does not keep records of the older models.

Dropped new Celestron Skymaster 15x70 binoculars.

Don't "unscrew" the binoculars. there are no user servicable parts inside. the collimnation adj screws are beneath the rubber boot just under where your index fingers rest when looking through the bino's. use a jewelers screwdriver to tease the boot up and stick a small nut or something in. then put the binos on a stable surface and play with the screws a bit while watching the images. you can get them pretty close this way.
