SIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The .223 (5.56mm) caliber cartridge used in the Mini-14 Rifle has a very high velocity and flat trajectory. Generally, if the rifle is sighted in to hit the point of aim at a distance of 200 yards, no change in point of aim or sight adjustment is needed to keep all shots within a 9 inch circle at all ranges from 0 to 300 yards.
The rear sight is adjustable for both windage and elevation. A small punch, the head of a finishing nail, or other similar instrument can be used to depress the plunger to allow the adjustment to be moved one quarter turn in either direction. One quarter turn will move the point of impact I inch at 100 yards. The sight adjustments have been made deliberately positive by means of spring-loaded detent plungers so that settings cannot be accidentally disturbed under normal conditions.

WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT

To move the point of impact to the right - turn adjustment counterclockwise. To move the point of impact to the left--turn adjustment clockwise.

ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT
