    Yep. They were all range tested for zero, function and accuracy prior to the what we call 'out inspection' by a little Chinese out-inspector called Mr Saw. What this bloke didn't know about No5's wasn't worth knowing. He'd been brought up on them as his bread and butter since he started as an MoR (Malayan Other Ranks) REME Armourer in the 40's and worked his way up. He shared my enthusiasm for Mini Coopers and hatred of continual range testing for days on end!
