left by tapping at the dove-tail using a wood or fiber
dowel or hammer that will not mar the sight (Figure 17).
If you tap to the right your gun will shoot more to the
right. Moving the blade holder to the left is just as easily
done. Note how much you adjust the sight as you sight-in
your Model 94. Remember:
• Move the rear sight to the right to shoot farther to the
right on the target.
• Move the rear sight to the left to shoot farther to the
left on the target.
Care should be taken not to mar the finish, damage the
attaching screws or bend sight components when
adjustments are made.
The front sight bead is also held in a dove-tail mount on
the sight base. It is possible to make windage adjustments
by tapping it to one side or the other, just like the rear
base. Remember, when adjusting the front sight you get
the opposite results: move to the right and you shoot
more to the left, move the bead to the left and you’ll
shoot more to the right.
All sight adjustments — of course — are a matter of
trial and error. Remember, it is usually necessary to reset
your sights when you change type or even brand of
ammunition.
F OLD -D OWN T YPE S IGHTS :
Some Model 94 rifles have a fold-down rear sight. The
sight can be folded forward so that it will not interfere
with the line of sight of a scope. Lower scope mounting is
therefore possible. This is helpful if you will be using a
scope exclusively. Adjustment for elevation is made by
loosening the two screws holding the sight blade to the
blade holder and moving them up or down to sight-in
your rifle — then retightening. Windage adjustment is
drift adjustable and is performed the same way as for
standard sights.
