Updated Range Report M1917 Eddystone

[Patrick Chadwick]

Left cant to the left. Right cant to the right. If you keep the sight line in exactly the same orientation, but rotate the rifle through 360 degrees, the POI will actually move round in a circle - the sight setting is a vertical offset of the barrel centerline that moves round with the barrel. No joke - it was tried out and verified in the 19th century. By Gibbs, I think (but I'm a thousand km away from my books at the moment, so can't check the reference).
