Question re the zeroing of the M1C & M!D

[Simon]

Folks,

Over on the Enfield forum we've been discussing the offset scopes that where used on a number of WWI Snipingg weapons and the zeroing thereof. As you can imagine the amount of information from the period is slim to non existant. However in one of the training pamphlets, dated 1917, it states that if the scope is offset to the left by 1 1/2" then it should be zeroed at 100 yards with the bullet strike or POI to be 1 1/2" to the right of POA. It goes on to say that the weapon should then have the same degree of offset to zero for all ranges, which has a degree of logic to it. All this got me to thinking about the M1C & M1D with their offset scopes and I wondered if any official documents regarding the zeroing criteria of these wepons was available?

Cheers,

Simon.
