Makers mark on TRLIUX SUIT cover/mount?

[Charlie303]

I mentioned my sight dissatisfaction with the general accuracy of the L1A1 when compared to my No.4 or M1 Garand. So I did a search on 'L1A1 accuracy'...

2011:
Peter referred to the Trials team in 1965/66 who quickly established that none of the L1A1's produced accuracy sufficient to pursue any further trials and development of the sight (TELESCOPE Straight Sighting No 74).

In the post Accurizing an L1A1/FAL? Tankhunter refers to the old problem with the break in the sight axis, inherent in the FAL design.

And there's another 10 pages on L1A1 accuracy!

Anyway back to the FE...

I notice in the great film (LiveLeak.com - SLR .308 Rifle british FAL Variant. (comments)) (always worth another look) that the rifle they're using doesn't have a FE. So, back to my question, is it possible that the FE might reduce the overall accuracy, as Peter mentioned in his post about trial fitting a FE to the L42? And if so, is the L1A1 (or other FAL based rifle) more accurate without one? Were there ever any trials carried out?

TIA
