Collimated my Enfields, Winchesters, Marlins, and others. Interestingly, when rotating the boresighter in the muzzle, the boresighter wandered an inch or two in some rifles -- especially the Marlins, but was near dead on with the Enfields and Winchesters. I attributed the variance to an imperfection in the cutting of the crown. (any opinions mates?)

When I got to the 1943 M1icon Inland Carbine, there was no variance at any angle of rotation -- dead on -- apparently a perfect crown. And the sights are still so easy to aim -- a real pleasure for old eyes. The only sights I like better are the diopter sights on the HK/PTR-91 (truly elegantly simple and easy to acquire target and PTR wisely added a windage adjustment).
