Remind us what the "test" was... and what it took to pass.
Five shots into a target shaped like a 10" square?
So if the rifle did not pass, the sights were tweaked or was there more?

I'm interested to know also.
the standard sighting-in target per TL1/1003 would be applicable presumably to all manufacturers and this necessitated minimum of 5 shots acceptable to pass (all inside about 3x5 1/2 " area at 100 m)
also as its May 1944 they are only using steel cased ammo for testing and its on the specially revised TL1/1003 target for steel cased ammo
is it a correct interpretation that the second column seems to confirm that about 2/3 only of those that failed at first testing subsequently passed at the second testing, thus leaving another 1/3 of that second batch still needing attention/testing again? probably first lot of failures may have just needed a re-aligned or revised height front sight to get on target but after that there isn't much more of an easy fix on a 98k - so for the second test failures they must have had lots of people putting in lots of effort to get those ones semi re-built to pass or scrapped for parts - lol
and does the last column show the average of shots per rifle to achieve test standards across whole of manufacture for the period under review (monthly period it seems)?
