a. FOCUSING THE EYEPIECE
NOTE
Focusing the eyepiece should be
dune after mounting the day optic
sight.
2-22
TM ‘91008306-10 35
(1) Unscrew the eyepiece to back it away from the lock ring. (See Figure Z-17). DO NOT attempt to loosen the lock ring first; it will automatically be loose when you back
away the eyepiece (no tools are needed). .
(2) Decide whether to screw out the eyepiece or to screw in the Byepiece, Make your decision based upon this logic: If you tend to hdd things away from youraeif in order to
see them clearer for did before you wore glassesl. perform Step 3 by unscrewing the eye-
piece. If you tend to hold things cloeer to your eyes in order to see them clearer for did
before you wore glasses), perform Step 3 by screwing in the eyepiece. If it is determinad
that the eyepiece must be turned in, be sure to turn the lock ring in prior to theeyepiece being turned in.
(3) Turn the eyepiece several turns so as to move it at least one/eighth of an inch. It will take this much change to achieve any measurable effect on the focus.
(4) Look through the day optic sight at the sky or a blank wall and check to see if the reticle appears sharp and crisp.
(51 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until focus is achieved. Then lock up the eyepiece by turning
the lock ring to the eyepiece.

Figure Z-18
2-24
NOTE
Adjustment dials are located under adjustment dust covers.
The Uey. Socket Head Screw to be used is l/16”.
(1) The elevation dials are calibrated for the ballistic trajectory of a specific bullet with a
specific initial velocity, under standard conditions, at sea level.
(21 The dial marked “7.62” is for the 7.62mm. Ml 18 Special Ball ammunition.
13) To adjust the day optic sight, the following procedures should be used: ignoring the range markings on the dials. adjust the windage and elevation dials as needed to precisely zero the rifle for optimum performance on the target selected, (one click on the elevation dial represents 1 min- ute of angle. one click on the windage dial represents l/2 minute of angle). When the day optic sight is precisely zeroed with the weapon on this target, loosen the set screws hofdlng the dlels,
and turn the elevation dial to locate the numeral corresponding to the target range over the Index line. Retiohten the set screws. Turn the windaga dial until “6” is under the index line. Retighten
the set screws.

(1) Adjunmants are l/4 MOA (Minute of Angle). One MOA equals approximately 1” et 166
yards, 6” et 666 yrds. etc. There are twelve 114 MOA squalling 3 MOA adjustment in each knob ravofutlon. TotJ elevation ediustment Is 60 MOA.&66” et 1,666 yards) e.nd total windage ed-
iustment is 36 MOA (360” et 1,666 yards).
(2) Turning the elavation knob In the direction marked “UP” raises the Point of Impact
fP.O.I.1 and turning the windage knob in the direction marked “R” moves the P.O.I. to the right.
(3) Adjustment scdes era of the wmier type. Each graduation on the top scale equals 3 MOA.
Each graduatfon on the opposing bottom scde equals 1 MOA.
(4) To use, note the point et which graduations on both the top and bottom scales are aligned.
(6) Count the number of full 3 MOA graduations from “0” on the top scale to “0” on the
bottom reds. Add this figure to the number of 1 MOA graduations from “0” on the bottom scale
to the point where the two graduations are aligned. Two examples are shown. (See Figure 2-24).
(6) After zeroing the sight to the rifle at the preferred range. loosen the elevation end windage
indicator plate screws with the Key. Socket Heed Screw provided. Align the “6” on the plate wlth
the “6” on the sight body. Retighten the plate screws. Now, loosen the spring tension screws end
the set screws in each knob and align the “0” of the knob with the reference line on the sight.
TM Q1006901-1 48 Pressing the knob against the sight, ti#!ten the set screws and then tightm the spring tomion screws equally until a definite “click” can be felt when the knob Is turned. This click an k
sharpened or softened to your preference by loosening or tightening the spring scowl eq~lly
