    Pete, The user handbook states for the Bren: Range 25 Yds: MPI in Relation to Point of Aim: Sights set at 200 Yds: 1.1/4" above & & 1" right. & fall of shot NOT Exceeding 1/2" Below.
    Range: 100 Yds: MPI in Relasion to point of Aim: Sights set at 200 Yds: 5 Inches Above & 1" to the Right, Ideal. & fall of shot NOT exceeding 2" above or below.

    There were eight sizes of foresight available for the adjustment of vertical erroes. Each size gives a theorectical alteration of 3.48 or approx 3.5" at 100 Yds on a MKI & II. A MKIII would be 4.5".
    at 25 Yds A MKI & II it would be 0.87 or Approx 7/8ths of an inch. A MK III would give you approx 1".

    There were eight sizes of foresight blades available. .46, .43, .40, .37, .34, .31, .28, .25.
