Winchester Repeating Arms 9422 (Historic Manual) - Manual (Page 19)

S IGHT PICTURE —
The correct sight picture for the sights on your Model
9422 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. For example, if you were shoot-
ing a conventional small bore target, the round, black
bull’s-eye would appear to rest on top of the front bead
(see Figure 19).
M OUNTING A SCOPE
The top of the receiver on every Model 9422 is grooved
to accept standard 22 caliber rifle-type scope mounts.
Depending on the type of bases and/or mounts you pur-
chase, your rifle will accept thin-tube scopes, red-dot type
sights or standard rifle scopes. On the 9422 the barrel is
attached rigidly to the top portion of the receiver. So,
even though your rifle is a take-down design, your scope
stays sighted in even after the action is taken down.
Carefully follow all instructions provided with your scope
mounts, rings and scope when mounting your scope.
When a scope mount is used you may need to use the
hammer extension provided with your rifle (refer to the
instructions under “Using the Hammer Extension”).
U SING THE H AMMER E XTENSION
Your Model 9422 is provided with a hammer extension
that makes it easier to operate the hammer when a scope
is used. It is also recommend for use even when a scope is
not installed. It offers an excellent grip and facilitates bet-
ter control over the hammer. It should be found in a small
bag inside the larger bag containing this owner’s manual
and other important literature. Also included is an allen
wrench (hex-type) and set screw for securing the exten-
sion to your rifle’s hammer. If your box did not contain an
extension, an allen wrench and a small set screw, ask your
dealer to locate yours.
The hammer spur can be used in either the left hand or
right hand position. Installation is as follows:
BEFORE ATTACHING YOUR HAMMER EXTEN-
SION ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THERE ARE
NO CARTRIDGES IN THE CHAMBER, MAGA-
ZINE OR ACTION/FEED AREAS.
WARNING: PROPER MOUNTING OF THE HAM-
MER EXTENSION IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.
1. Determine which side you want the extension to
extend. For right-handed shooters the round, hollow part
of the extension should protrude to the right. For left
