MOUNTING

The HWS is equipped with mounting hardware to attach to a 1” (25.4mm) Weaver or MIL-

STD-1913 Picatinny style rail. To achieve the best results and accuracy, the HWS must be

mounted properly. The rail needs to be as parallel as possible to the bore to permit the maxi-

mum elevation and windage adjustments. If it is required, it is strongly recommend that the rail

be installed by a qualified gunsmith. To mount the sight, please follow these steps.

Turn the Knurled Weaver bolt counterclockwise to back the bolt out of the weaver lock. Do not

back the bolt all of the way out of the lock, only enough for the base to sit properly on the rail.

Turn the Knurled Weaver bolt clockwise, drawing the weaver lock into the rail until resistance

is felt. Using a coin, (a U.S. nickel or similar size is recommended), rotate the bolt head an

additional ¾ turn to fully tighten. This is equivalent to approximately 17 in-lb (0.2 kgm) of

torque.
