MOUNTING A SCOPE
BEFORE MOUNTING A SCOPE, SIGHT OR OTHER ACCESSORIES TO YOUR
RIFLE, PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. OPEN THE
ACTION AND MAKE CERTAIN YOUR RIFLE IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED.
KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
The top of the BAR MK 3 receiver is drilled and tapped for scope
bases. From the factory, the scope base holes are fitted with
filler screws.
ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT BASES FOR THIS RIFLE AND THE APPROPRIATE
LENGTH SCREWS.
1 Place your rifle in a gun vise or on a table or other safe/secure
location with the top of the receiver upward. Protect the finish
with rags or other padding.
2 You should have compatible one- or two-piece style bases and four
screws of the correct length.
3 Clean all oil, grease or dirt from the receiver top and from the
scope base parts.
4 Remove all four filler screws from the top of the receiver using
a very small, thin-bladed gunsmithing-type screwdriver.
5 Pre-position the bases on the receiver top to determine the best
orientation of the bases.
6 Insert the screws through the bases and screw them into the
receiver top using the correct tool.
You must use screws of the appropriate length to ensure proper
thread engagement. Once the bases are installed, check inside the
receiver to verify that the base mounting screws are not too long
and interfering with the operation of the bolt.
