Parker Hale Target sights for FN FAL and SLR

[Peter Laidler]

ON the down side, it doesn't matter what sight is fitted or the size of the hole, the position of the moon or the breakfast menu that day. The rifle isn't a target rifle and never will be. And while the rear sight base is articulated against the foresight and the barrel, this or any sight mounted to the TMH will not make a jot of difference. Just my opinion based on nothing more than a goodly dollop of experience, a modicum of common sense and what my mum used to call the bleedin' obvious. Just my view of course.

I wouldn't have thought that there would be much, if any difference between using the PH sight or a Hythe on an issued military rifle, that would have seen 20 plus years of service by the early 1980's ... maybe on the other hand, it would make a difference on a really tight, little used civilian rifle, like Johns ex Singapore contract example..

For some reason there seems to be a resurgence on the SLR again people wanting straight pull options, and a lot appearing out there too for whatever reason. Have some appeared from a far off country???
Can't think of anything worse than shooting an SLR with anything other than that being issued to it on the sights situation but thats just me, as it was my best friend for a while".
