Outstanding April 1945 No5 Mk1

I thought I had done this already, but the post was eaten by Internet Gremlins.
Here are targets made with the No5 at 100 yards.
First, a target meant for 200 yard shooting---left the right ones at home.

Pulled one up a little...
Next, the FBI "bowling pin" absolutely PC target. Fourteen rounds is all I had left at this stage.
I didn't miss one, honest!
I did have forty rounds of Prvi Partisan FMJ, but neither rifle would shoot well with it.

The No5 shot well after I pushed the front sight over a bit to the right. I might have had better looking targets if I hadn't left the real ones behind.
Check out the Fig 14 from the POF No4 Mk2---

Do NOT piss off the Pakistani Pathan!
The POF stayed on the Fig14 throughout the twenty shot string---not quite rapid fire, but close. Lots of heat mirage in the sight picture towards the end and plenty of opportunity for the rifle to shift zero...but it didn't.
I am impressed.
Part of the 100 yard range at the ENGC.
