In which we test as many types of Lee-Enfield No.4 rear sight as possible, to see at what range setting on the leaf corresponds to the point of impact given by the battle sight with the leaf folded down. A surprising result, which needs more empirical research in respect of the Mk.1 milled sights!
Also includes a discussion of the whys and wherefores of the different types.

Switzerland’s most popular native-English-language guns & shooting channel! Probably. Maybe. I guess. A somewhat off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek look at firearms, military history and shooting, and a jolly good tilt at the windmills of fuddlore to go with it. And the odd off-topic vid about Switzerland, or whatever happens to take our fancy. We normally launch “in-series” vids on a Friday (early launch on a Wednesday via Patreon and the FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blokeontherange/ ), out-of-series vids launch precisely… whenever.
