  1. Keeping your rifle clean and hand-picking your ammo is to be expected of a sniper.

  2. It's funny, if the M1917 had the same fine-adjustment rear sight as this sniper model of the Pattern 14, it might well have replaced the M1903 as the standard-issue rifle. The fact that it lacked such fine adjustments was something that the brass thought was important, since they seemed to not grasp that war is not the same as shooting competitions. We probably also would've ended up with 6-round stripper clips being made had that been the case, since there's room for a 6th round in the 1917's mag.
