Terry Abrams and I were at the test shoot as on site armourers and range safety officers. The two shooters were very sore and there was a five gallon bucket full of empty brass when they finished up. They only broke one extractor spring during the test which was quickly replsced. a very interesting day.
I have an interesting Martins Galilean sight that had the owners/users regimental number written on the baize lining of the sight box
A record search showed he was a sharpshooter with the Sherwood Foresters

thanks alan and superbee, a very interesting article.
Here are some photos of a Neill sight I picked up many years ago. Fascinating article, and sheds some good insight (no pun intended) into these sights.

Had this for a while. Always thought it probably wasn't a factory made job, but comments welcome.
