Licensee LADDER SIGHT ADJUSTMENT For precision long range shooting, the Model 1895 Carbine includes a ladder sight that is easily adjustable for elevation and windage. It is usually necessary to reset your sights when you change type or even brand of ammunition. Care should be taken not to mar the finish, damage the screws or bend sight components when sight adjustments are made. BEFORE MAKING ANY SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED.
Licensee FIGURE 3 Loosen the screw to adjust windage. The graduations from 800 to 1,800 yards are found on the topside of the sight ladder (Figure 2). For distances between 800 and 1,800 yards, the sight is designed to flip rearward to the upright position. The slide assembly can be slid up or down on the sight ladder to the desired yardage. WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT — 1. Loosen the windage adjustment screw on the underside of the slide assembly (Figure 3). 2.
Licensee Sight blades can be removed by gently tapping the pin from the left side to the right side, and replacing the blade. Reverse the procedure for installation. SIGHT MAINTENANCE — Occasionally check your sights to make sure they have not been jarred or vibrated out of adjustment. This is especially important after extensive shooting or after hunting under rugged conditions.
Licensee FIGURE 4 Carefully lift the top guard and turn it 90° to clear the ladder sight. Note: As in the original 1895 Saddle Ring Carbine design, the clips that fix the top guard to the barrel may scratch the barrel during the assembly/disassembly process. To maintain the finish, only remove the top guard when maintenance is necessary.
Licensee FIGURE 5 The buttstock features a space to hold a cleaning kit or other small items. In order to avoid delays, it is important to never send your gun directly to our facility without direct authorization from one of our service specialists. This avoids possible delays in obtaining service. Contact us at (800) 322-4626 for details on how to receive service before sending your gun.
