A DJUSTING CAST ON AND CAST OFF
Adjusting cast on and cast off allows you to achieve a
perfect fit from the stock to your face. This is a most
crucial adjustment, as it determines how correctly and
consistently your eye will line up with the sight plane along
the barrel rib. A shotgun correctly adjusted for cast on
and cast off will have you looking directly down the center
of the rib with the front and middle beads in alignment.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ADJUSTMENTS,
ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THERE ARE NO SHELLS
IN THE CHAMBERS AND THE SAFETY IS IN THE
“ON SAFE” POSITION.
1. Loosen the two stock adjustment set screws on the
right side of the removable cheek piece and remove
the cheek piece by lifting upward (Figure 20).This
exposes the cast on and cast off adjustment
mechanism. (The cheek piece comes set from the
factory with cast in the center position.)
2. Loosen both the stock adjustment stud screws
located in the top of the stock adjustment studs
using the larger (3mm) Allen wrench that is
provided (Figure 21). It only takes a fractional
1 ⁄
4
turn to loosen them adequately.
3. Slide each stud equally in the desired direction. Each
mark indicates 1 ⁄
16
".
4. Move the studs to the right for cast off (Figure 22A).
5. Move the studs to the left for cast on (Figure 22B).
