Got to shoot an L1A1 (Hesse rcvr) for the first time yesterday (cool). The rifle wouldn't shoot under 10" @100 yds (not cool).
A bit of investigation showed that the rear sight appeared to be loose (I could make it move side-to-side & up-down by hand).
The owner said this is the second sight he's had & the original was worse. Wedging a bit of cardboard under one side of the sight allowed a 3" group until the cardboard came out & then it was all over the paper again.
Anyone familiar with this problem on this class of rifle? And how to fix it?
Thanks,
JP
