How to use M-14S sight?
- Thread starter _CCCP_
- Start date
fm23-8- on line and look under zeroing the rifle- it's in meters, hence the m- a quick check is to see where it shoots at 200 meters and adjust from there- with 147to 150 grain mil ammo- if you're using other stuff it's not going to line up and you'll have to re-zero- the procedure is both on line and covered in a lot of books

Here's the zero procedure for 25 meters.
1. Set the windage marks of the receiver and sight base so they are centered.
2. Crank up the sight aperture all the way up. Push down with thumb. If the aperture moves, tighten the screw in the windage knob (right knob) 1/2 turn clockwise and repeat.
3. When sight tension is set, aperture will not move under thumb pressure. Crank aperture down and then back it up 8 to 12 clicks.
4. Sight-in rifle at 25 meters. This should equate to a 250 meter zero.
5. Loosen the elevation knob screw and rotate the knob so the marking is mid way between the 2 and 3 marks (250 meters) and match with scribe mark on left receiver ear. Tighten screw.
Note: If your windage is off with the sight base mark centered on the receiver mark. Your front sight is probably off. loosen the socket head cap screw and move it a little bit at a time to compensate. If it is 'way off, then your barrel is probably not correctly aligned (top spline on barrel not within 90 +/- 1/2 degrees.

Two related questions:
1) Does the portugese milsurp that is commonly available these days follow this trajectory?
2) Is there an online copy of the fm23_8 that has clear illustrations? I'm not referring just to the illustrations in the section regarding the sights, but throughout the manual. My copy has a lot of pictures that are too black to make out what they are showing.
