I remember looking at the Sniper in the gunshop window (Crockart in Stirling), it had better sights than the Commando. The Sniper had sights like the Paratrooper, with proper windage and elevation knobs, where the Commando had a stamped metal rearsight with a sawtooth elevation ramp and no windage adjustment.

It was my 14th birthday, and I had wanted a Milbro G4 pistol, but my dad, who was an RAF Gunnery Leader during the war, insisted pistols were rubbish and I was getting a rifle. Way to go Dad.
