About

Later models of the carbine will be equipped with an adjustable sight generally similar to that shown in other figures in this manual. This sight will be graduated from 100 to 300 yards in increments of 50 yards and will provide for 3 points of left and 3 points of right windage. The amount which changes of elevation and windage will move the point of strike must be determined by experiment. * 5. FRONT SIGHT.-The front sight is the post type, protected by wings and adjusted laterally during assembly at the arsenal. It is locked in position, after adjustment, by riveting part of the metal base into the lock seat with a punch. * 6. NOMENCLATURE AND REFERENCES.-a.
