SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS

Model 1892 rifles are fitted with traditional open

sights.

OPEN STYLE SIGHTS

Your firearm can be adjusted to shoot higher by

moving the rear sight elevator backward by one or

more notches.

In order to shoot lower, the elevator can be moved

forward (Figure 14).

The rear sight is attached to the barrel in a dove-

tailed slot machined into the barrel. By gently

tapping the rear sight base (where fastened to the

barrel) to the right, your gun will shoot more to the

right. An adjustment to the left can be made by

tapping the base to the left (Figure 15).

Care should be taken not to mar the finish or bend

sights when adjustments are made.

A NONMARRING BRASS, PLASTIC

OR FIBER HAMMER AND/OR DRIFT

IS ALWAYS PREFERRED FOR

THIS OPERATION.

Lift up on the notch holder

and move the elevator forward

or rearward with your fingers.
