As a matter of interest Ensci, we were permitted to and did occasionally replace the usual block band foresight on the L39's with either of the commercial types on condition that '.........there was no resort to public funds'. Indicating that if the rifle was set up with commercial sights, then they were to be provided by the individual or the unit, but not from public funds. Of course, the unit funds WERE public funds but noone questioned that. This was allowed so that units or individuals could partake in civilian competitions on even terms. I seem to remember that the EMER specified that when/if the rifle was returned to Ordnance, it had to be returned in its issued form.Information
