U P OR DOWN ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS —
Adjusting elevation on your Model 9422 requires you to
lift up the rear notch blade holder on your rifle’s rear sight
with your fingers and move the notched elevator either
forward or backward (see Figure 16). To raise point of
impact, use your fingers to lift up on the blade and slide
the elevator rearward. Adjusting the sight to make your
gun shoot lower is just the opposite — move the elevator
forward. Remember:
• Move the blade and holder up to shoot higher.
• Move the blade and holder down to shoot lower.
For finer elevation adjustments the sight blade itself can
be moved up or down. This is done by loosening the two
screws that secure the blade to the blade holder and then
moving the blade up or down as desired (see Figure 17).
The screws are then retightened.
R IGHT OR LEFT WINDAGE ADJUSTMENTS —
On most Model 9422 sights, the entire rear sight blade
holder is dove-tailed in the rear sight base. To adjust for
windage, gently move the rear sight blade to the right or
left by tapping at the dove-tail using a wood or fiber
dowel or hammer that will not mar the sight (see Figure
18). If you tap to the right your gun will shoot more to the
15
Tap carefully.
Do not mar the barrel or sight.
