Re: New Acquisition
Great information butlersrangers. I have ordered a copy of the book you got the information out of. Should be a good thing to have with the rifle.

Re: New Acquisition
No adjustments were needed. I shot 2 groups of 5, letting the barrel cool between groups. All but 1 was within one inch of the bullseye at 100 yards 3 were right on. The one was way off. I,m blaming that on the ammo. It is very windy here today.<br />I would like to know how to use all the functions...

Re: New Acquisition
I have replaced the rear sight ladder with a better one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/85591315@N00/10907231754/in/set-72157636869340976
Now its time to take it out to the range (my back yard) and make the necessary adjustments.

Re: New Acquisition
Upon closer inspection I see the sight ladder on my rifle has been broken off and welded back on. Also someone has taken a file to it. It looks like it was bent and after straightening they filed off the remaining high points. I will be replacing it as soon as I find a good quality one for sale. <br...

Re: New Acquisition
I thought the rear sight looked pretty crude. I didnt know if thats just the way they were made. The only american firearm I have for comparison is a 1884 springfield trapdoor and it is much better. I will see about replacing it.
I was hoping the bayonet was a kadet version.
