Owner's Manual

Many gunsmiths find it helpful to use a drop of serviceable thread
locking compound to assure the screws stay tight. Make sure the
thread locking compound does not get into the action.
Be careful to ensure that the threads of each screw engage properly
in the receiver to prevent stripping the threads in the receiver.
7 Tighten the screws snugly, but do not overtighten.
8 Mount your scope rings and scope as outlined in the instructions
supplied with your scope rings and/or scope. Always make sure you
have the proper eye relief.
STOCK ADJUSTMENT
BEFORE PERFORMING STOCK ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES, PLACE THE
“SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. REMOVE THE MAGAZINE, 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.
Six shims are included with BAR MK 3 rifles (Figure 12). The shims fit
between the buttstock and receiver, allowing customized adjustments to
the comb and heel (Figure 13, page 26). 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.
