Sighting No1Mk111*

[Peter Laidler]

One of the dealers who used to shoot with our local club who usually had a few good/decent No1 rifles to sell/trade, used to come to the shoots with an 'earless' nose cap with an opened out muzzle aperture that he would put on rifles needing to be zeroed to an individual. That way he could use the usual issue tool/cramp thinggy. A use for a damaged nose cap?

I suppose the RCO's are al;ways a bit safetl conscious Jesse but you would never need to be in front of the riflew to zero it. Maybe you could give him the bolt OR leave it behind you, in his sight while you're doing it. We would certainly allow this when Armourers were doing something on the range if they left the breech block and carried behind the firing line

I could buy a crappy nose cap and either do the "Australian modification" or cut the ears off and use that. Those are great ideas!
When I say being at the front of the rifle I guess I should have said being at the front side while still on the shooting bench. Not actually in front of the barrel.
Thanks for the ideas.

There may even be one with the mods already done on e-bay right now....
