Thats what makes these little carbines so unique. When us half blind old farts can't hit the bullseye at 100 yds we can say," It's not match grade,6" is within spec for this weapon".GK

The point is, with the original military sighting, it would be rare, if not unsuitable, to hit the bull's eye at 100. The carbine would be adjusted if more than two shots out of seven hit below the aiming point at the lower center of the acceptable impact zone without cutting that line.

Finally got a chance to shoot the original Winchester again. It was an impromptu range trip with my son who was up from Temecula CA. We went to Spenceville DF&G range. No target stands, no shooting benches (except a few picnic benches). Shot 100 rounds of Kings Mill 1943 ammo. One dead primer. Other than that, no failures or failure to feed. It threw the bras about 6 o'clock straight over my head, and 10 feet to the rear. Since it is original as it left the factory, I am not changing ejectors or anything.
I sat at the picnic bench and shot at cans and pieces of clay pigeons at 100 yards berm. Using a low 6 o'clock hold (front sight about 1 to 2 inch below bottom of target, we hit everything we aimed at. At 50 yards standing, I held a tight 6 o'clock hold, and was breaking piece of clay pigeons, standing, shooting off hand! Note the brass in the air in the second picture.
My son (38) LOVED the carbine, especially since it was the kind of weapon his grandpa carried on Iwo Jima https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...31412a03-1.jpg

The Kings Mill ammo shot about the same as the 110 Berry's plated with 14.7 - 15.0 grains of WW296. Besides the Carbine and the PTR-91s, we shot my Rock Island 1911A1 duty weapon and my Taurus Mellenium 9mm off duty carry pistol.
Depends would allow for a longer shooting session...
Plus, You wouldn't have to worry about 'Being Crowded' from the benches!

OMG! Fortunately I am not that old....YET! BTW, that she is an butt-ugly picture of yours truly! My T Shirt was twisted up in back hung up on my concealed carry piece in an IWB holster. Makes it impossible to lie to myself and pretend I am not too fat!
