The Wilkinson company, in addition to the licensed sub-target machine, also manufactured their own device which clamped to the nose-cap of an S.M.L.E. rifle.
Little is known of this piece of equipment. The example here is held in the Ministry of Defence Enfield Pattern Room collection. ( images by their courtesy). It operates on a principle similar to that of the sub-target unit for the 1896 Swedish Mauser rifle.
