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.
ASSURE THAT ALL CARTRIDGES ARE REMOVED
FROM THE MAGAZINE, CHAMBER AND FEED AREA
AS EXPLAINED IN YOUR MODEL 1895 OWNER’S
MANUAL. MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE’S MUZZLE
IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. PLACE THE
SAFETY IN THE “ON SAFE” POSITION.

Elevation adjustment is marked in graduated steps
from 200 to 1,800 yards. The graduations from 200-
700 yards are found on the left side of the sight base
(Figure 1). For distances between 200 and 700 yards,
the sight is folded forward, in the down position. The
slide assembly can be slid forward or rearward on the
sight ladder to the desired yardage.
