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.
S IGHT M AINTENANCE —
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. Check the
two screws fixing the sight ladder sight to the barrel,
the slide assembly screws and windage adjustment
screw and carefully tighten them if necessary. Check
the pin holding the front blade.
R EMOVING THE T OP GUARD
The top guard is easily removable for cleaning
and maintenance. Do not squeeze on the top guard.
Too much pressure could cause the wood to split.
MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE IS COMPLETELY
UNLOADED. ASSURE THAT ALL CARTRIDGES ARE
REMOVED FROM THE MAGAZINE, CHAMBER AND
FEED AREAS 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.
1. Flip the ladder sight into the rearward, upright
position, and slide the slide assembly to the
top of the sight ladder. This will help prevent
the top guard from being scratched during the
removal process.
2. The top guard is held in place with two clips.
Carefully lift the top guard until it is free from
the barrel of the rifle (Figure 4).
3. Turn the top guard 90° and lift it carefully over
the ladder sight.
Reverse the above procedures for installation.
