Faux L8A5T test and tune

I decided to try the iron sight setup  at a 100 yard distance.  I figured that since I cannot compete in a vintage rifle match with it, the least I could do was to improve my chances in another class at some point in time.

I used my 168grn HPBT with 41.7grns of IMR4064 and primed with GM215M primers all stuffed inside Lake City brass.

 Setting the sight at the 200 yard mark in conjunction with whatever the height is on the front sight and the rifle was putting bullets in the red right out the gate. My best 10 shot group was able to be covered with my thumb so my assumption is that the rifle is capable of Sub MOA groupings.

My take on this is not about the sighting system however,, rather that the accuracy of the rifle once the barrel was installed had been called into question due to the MOD's mixed results during the original L8 series of tests and the assumption that this rifle would suffer the same mixed results. I have no other clue than that of the one tiny LB stamp I found on the barrel indicating the manufacturer of this barrel and I do not know the manufacturer of the original L8 barrels. I do not give a "Gnats Knackers" in all honesty of where this particular barrel originated from as long as it does as it should. 

I have another scheduled appointment next Wednesday where I will put the scope back to use focusing solely on a 100 yard grouping the same if not smaller than the one in this post...

Thank you kindly. 

I do need the scope however to provide beyond any doubt that this rifle is acceptable as an accurate specimen if it were to be examined by a proper English chap within the British Ministry of Defense.  Kidding of course but, just in case.

 I can pull them off old harness connections in various sizes; only problem is that they are odd colours.

Ouch!

That's another reason I'm not a Mk32 fan.

Yes, I know get the tar & feathers.
