Bore sight information?????????

[STDDIVER]

Looking on the shelves for a bit of kit for Mike when I found this?

Any ideas?

All information gratefully received.

Could be one for Mike Cecil I think.

I've only come across the term when manfacturers or RAEME 'bore sight' the main gun on a tank.... which i think is aligning the barrel with the gunners/commanders sighting system.

Thanks Pete

I've posted another photograph.

It is marvellous what stuff is around when you look.

Thanks Mate

Bore sight for a centurian

Seems to be the case: Boresight for the 20-pdr main armament.

You can check that by measuring the mounting ring diameter, which should be a tad less then 84mm.

Thanks Geoff and Mike -

Just have to start collecting the rest to go with the sight!  Another mystery solved.

Makes me wonder what else is on your shelf Frank!

Cheers,

Hi Mile -

Found this!

[mike_k]

Is this Centurion related as well?

Keep going Frank, you are on a roll!

Tank inspection light actually - could be used to look into any nook, cranny or tank!

If you hadn't asked I wouldn't have found where I hid this stuff!  Can't help with the bracket though!
