SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS
AND SCOPE MOUNTING
Your AMT LIGHTNING RIFLE has been equipped with both open sights
and grooves for mounting a 'scope sight. The adjustable rear sight
'(optional) is provided with elevation and windage adjustments. The
adjustment screws should be turned to move the sight blade in the
direction that you wish the bullet to strike. For example. turning the
windage adjustment screw clockwise moves the sight blade to the left
and the impact of the bullet to the left.
The fixed sights of the standard model have been set at the factory.
However, should your rifleshoot low,the front sight may be reduced in
height to zero the rifle with the ammunition that you will be using.
Windage ajustments on the standard model may be accomplished by
drifting the rear sight in the direction you wish the bullet to strike the
target.
The receiver of your AMT LIGHTNING is grooved for tip-off scope
mounting rings. These may be purchased from your dealer ifyou wish
to install a scope sight. Follow the installation instructions provided
with the mounting rings you purchase.
If it becomes necessary to remove the rear sight. this may be
accomplished by carefully tapping the sight out of its dovetail slot. A
reference mark on both the sight and receiver will enable you to realign
the sights when they are placed back into the dovetail slot
SERVICE
Prior to shipment, each LIGHTNING RIFLE is carefully inspected and
test fired to ensure that it is in proper operating condition. Should the
rifle require adjustment, repair or refinishing, we recommend that the
rifle be returned directly to the factory SERVICE DEPT. There is no
other way to be sure that work is performed in a properly equipped and
staffed facility. Fai lure lo use the factory services could resultin void ing
your warranty.
All rifles returned are to be sent prepaid. All collect shipments will be
refused.
For best service, always enclose a cover letter with lhe rifle furnishing
serial number, model of rifle and the nature of the problem or work
desired. A statement that the rifle is "defective" is not adequate and will
only result in unneeded delays. Try to be as specific as possible.
Federal regulations control the shipment of firearms. It may be
impossible for the factory to return a rifle directly to you. Check you
local regulations before shipment. If this is the case, we recommend
that all firearms be sent th roug h a federally Iicensed dealer.
Please be sure that both lhe magazine and the chamber are empty
before shipping. Any firearms received in a loaded condition must be
reported to federal authorities.
