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 ammuni-
tion.
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 stan-
dard sights
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
holding the rear sight blade in place on the blade mount
and carefully tighten if necessary. Check the screw hold-
ing the front sight base to the barrel. The front hood (if so
equipped) is held in place by slight indents in each side
rail. If necessary it can be removed by carefully pulling it
forward and off. Reinstallation is the reverse. Front and
rear sight bases should always be tight on the barrel and
dove-tails should be snug.
S IGHT PICTURE —
The correct sight picture for the sights on your Model 94
is with the front bead resting in the U-shaped notch in
the sight blade. The bead itself should rest directly under
the point of impact (See Figure 18). For example, if you
were shooting a conventional small bore target, the
round, black bull’s-eye would appear to rest on top of the
front bead.
