ADJUSTING CAST AND DROP AT COMB
Six shims have been included with BAR ST/LT rifles (Figure 12,
page 23). The shims fit between the buttstock and receiver, allowing
customized adjustments to the comb and heel. Each shim is labeled/
stamped for a specific amount of adjustment. The neutral shim, No. 2,
is already installed on your firearm.
Drop at comb is defined as the place on the comb that your cheek
rests when taking aim. If drop at comb is correct, your eye falls in line
with the sight. Shims marked 1, 2 and 3 do not give any cast on or off.
The stock remains straight. They only adjust drop at comb.
These shims with their respective stamps are further clarified here:
• Shim 1 raises the comb approximately
1
/
16", and the heel
approximately
1
/
8".
• Shim 2 is neutral. This shim is already installed on your rifle.
• Shim 3 lowers the comb approximately
1
/
16", and the heel
approximately
1
/
8".
Cast is the offset of the buttstock from the longitudinal centerline of
the firearm. Some right-handed shooters like the stock to angle away
(cast off) from their face, making their line of sight more directly in
line with the sight. Angling the stock to the left for left-handed
shooters is “cast on.” Shims marked 1R1L, 2R2L and 3R3L, will all
adjust drop at comb the same amount as shims 1, 2 and 3, and will
also adjust the cast right or left approximately
1
/
8". You will notice that
the two opposing edges of these spacers are different in thickness.
These shims with their respective stamps are further clarified here:
• Shim 1R1L adjusts the comb in the increment given above,
(shim 1) and will adjust the cast on or cast off approximately
1
/
8".
For right-handed shooters, install this shim between the receiver
and the stock with the R facing the end of the buttstock, so its
thicker side is on the left side. This casts the stock slightly to the
right, away from the face of a right-handed shooter. If you turn
the shim around so the L is facing the end of the buttstock, and
it will cast the stock to the left.
