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. Front and rear sight bases should always be tight on the barrel and dove-tails should be snug. If necessary it can be removed by carefully pulling it forward and off. The front hood (if so equipped) is held in place by slight indents in each side rail. Check the screw holding the front sight base to the barrel. Check the two screws holding the rear sight blade in place on the blade mount and carefully tighten if necessary. This is especially important after extensive shooting or after hunting under rugged conditions. Occasionally check your sights to make sure they have not been jarred or vibrated out of adjustment. Windage adjustment is drift adjustable and is performed the same way as for standard sights Sight Maintenance 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. This is helpful if you will be using a scope exclusively. Lower scope mounting is therefore possible. The sight can be folded forward so that it will not interfere with the line of sight of a scope. Some Model 94 rifles have a fold-down rear sight. Remember, it is usually necessary to reset your sights when you change type or even brand of ammunition.

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.Īll sight adjustments - of course - are a matter of trial and error. It is possible to make windage adjustments by tapping it to one side or the other, just like the rear base. The front sight bead is also held in a dove-tail mount on the sight base.

PLACE THE HAMMER IN THE REBOUND POSITION AND THE MANUAL HAMMER STOP INTO THE "ON" POSITION. The procedures below are for the type of open sights found on current Model 94 rifles.īEFORE MAKING ANY SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS, MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE IS FULLY UNLOADED AND THE MUZZLE IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. The proper procedure is to shoot a group with the sights set as they come from the factory (intermediate position on both elevation and windage), and then make incremental adjustments to move the sight blade and blade holder to position the group on your target. The style and adjustment system may vary between models and grades.

All Model 94 rifles are fitted with open sights.
