[Badger]

With thanks to Son and trooper554877, we've updated the MKL entries ..

Under the comments section of the above entries, we've added extracts of the EMEI re-introduced specifically for the HT's dragged out of storage to use for sniper training at Singleton, mid 1970's. They remained in use until the Parker Hale M82 was introduced.

Regards,

Just got around to reading that old newspaper clip in Son's post. Bob Skelton and I are old mates, both shot on the same teams a few times, both left handers which worked out well in teams coached matches and funny enough, are both still active in target shooting.
Usually run into Bob and Kay a couple of times a year, and the accents are still as broad as ever. Bob hails from Aberdeen-Scotland, I shoot for Aberdeen-Australia.

Son, have a look through your files. You should also have a copy of D118/1 that I gave you yonks ago.

Interesting to see that from the Enfield rest they needed to be capable of a 1 1/2 inch group at 200 yards. That is pretty spectacular for rifles of this generation.

For everyone's pleasure. A bit of light reading

Lithy the pics are a bit too small m8

[Son]

I have 118 here... just gotta set it up in a suitable size and post it to be added to the above.

Sorry gents, they got reduced ( I think....my excuse and I'm sticking to it) in the conversion from bmp to jpeg files in order to upload.

If Brad can't resurrect his files I'll have another go.

Damn this technology crap. I'm too old for this.

At least you can upload pictures young fella

Badger, when you get a chance, wrt the pages already posted into the MKL, could you move the first page, about "zeroing and accuracy" along the line so it is the fourth page with only the trigger adjustment after it on the top line of pics. That puts the ones we have there in order. These can go as they are directly underneath.

Ok, here's the part you need...with thanks also to Lithy... Weapon D 118. I won't bore you all with a rendition of what every part of the designation means, other than all the books are written in the same format. Part 8 is the inspection procedure.

if you hover the mouse over the bottom of the pic after opening it, there will be a square box with an arrow leading away from the top corner... this will enlarge it
