No 4 Aim Corrector

[CINDERS]

Another aid that is not too commonly found down here is this one as it was the only one I have seen in years of trolling auction web sites I have the No I Mk III types but not so common this one.
Forgive me for saying rare as we in Australia especially where I live in West Aust these types of things are harder to get then a piece of unicorn sh*te

Pic No # 6 I tried to get the light to come through the peep it is a light smudge at @8.40 on the sighting aids lense just visible.

Thanks guys

Someone correct me, but didn't we also have a spring steel variant that just clipped onto the backsight?

[browningautorifle]

I've seen so many types of these correctors, or coaching aids, that I didn't know this was for the #4 until today. That's why I have two I reckon...

I first saw them when I was in my school Cadet Force back in the very early 60's when we used them on No8 rifles. We had to aim the rifles while they were set up in the aiming rest thinggy and while we were setting it up, the instructors would come along and check if our aim picture was correct. When it was, he'd allow us to squeeze the trigger to see where the bullet went. Most of my bullets are still on their way to the target.

Same happened when we did some revolover shooting with old clapped .38's at 10 metres on our school range against an old door that was full of previous bullet holes. When we'd fired our 6 rounds, we had to walk forwards, score and 'chalk up' the holes and then patch up with paste and paper at the end of the afternoon. I got all of my 6 shots through the same hole as there was only one new bullet hole in the door! Well, that's what I told my mum and dad! My pistol shooting didn't improve even when I had one on my belt for real!
