ADJUSTABLE FRONT SIGHT POST…
A2 DUAL APERTURE REAR SIGHT…
(See Page 36 for A1 Sight information)
The Front Sight Post is moved up and down when “Zeroing” the Rear Sight.
Once the Rear Sight is zeroed, the Front Sight Post should not be moved.
LOADING A MAGAZINE…
SHORT RANGE - This “larger” aperture is
used for 0 - 200 meters range. As shown
above, the sight is set tor 0 - 200 meters. This
larger aperture is only used when the 8/3
marking is aligned with the vertical mark on
the left side of the upper receiver.
NORMAL RANGE - The smaller aperture is
unmarked and is used for most firing
situations. It is used in conjunction with the
elevation knob for 300, 400, 500, 600, 700,
and 800 meter targets.
1.) Use only quality ammunition suitable for your firearm.
Examine each cartridge - particularly around the primer.
Look for dents, scratches, and other signs of damage. Do
not load damaged ammunition.
2.) With the magazine facing forward as shown in the
illustration, place a round between the lips of the magazine
with the bullet tip forward. Push the round down until it is
held by the magazine lips.
3.) If necessary, give the round a slight push backward to
seat it against the back edge of the magazine lips. Place
next round on top of previous round and repeat steps until desired number of rounds is loaded.
CAUTION: Safe firearms handling dictates that you ONLY LOAD LIVE AMMUNITION INTO
YOUR RIFLE WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO SHOOT.
THE FORWARD ASSIST…
The forward assist helps lock the bolt into the barrel, but it will only be useful on rare occasions
when the bolt fails to lock automatically. If you find that you need to use the forward assist, it is
probably time you cleaned your rifle - pay particular attention to the locking lug areas in the
chamber and on the bolt.
CAUTION: ALWAYS CHECK THAT AMMUNITION IS CLEAN AND UNDAMAGED BEFORE
USING THE FORWARD ASSIST. Forcing dirty or damaged ammunition into the chamber could
damage your rifle and could result in injury, death or property damage.
