3. Sights

Rifle m/96(B) has a rear sight graduated between 300-600 meters. The sight is used with

the ladder in the down position. The sight is adjusted by moving the slide (siktlöpare) on

the ladder (siktramen). The slide is locked in position by the slide catch (siktlöparspärr).

Rifle m/38(B) has three different types of rear sights:

1. The same type of sight as the m/96(B) rifle but with the SM-sight in its ladder. The

sight is adjustable between 250-600 meters and is graduated for the round nose

(ogival-) ammunition. The sight has a U-notch.

2. Sight with a T-marked ladder. The sight is adjustable between 150-600 meters and is

graduated for the spitzer (torped-) ammunition. The sight has a U-notch.

3. Sight with a square notch. The sight is adjustable between 100-600 meters and is

graduated for the round nose (ogival-) ammunition.

The front sight and front sight base has a notch on the front. The notches are normally to

be aligned when the rifle is sighted in properly. If the rifle shoots of aim you primarily

correct it by choosing another point of aim. If the point of impact needs to be corrected, the

front sight is moved sideways.

If the rifle prints to the right (left) the front sight is moved to the right (left). 1mm

adjustment of the front sight moves the point of impact 15, 30 or 45cm at 100, 200 or 300

meters distance. The sights are adjusted for elevation so that the point of aim and point of

impact are the same at 300 meters, provided that spitzer (torped-) ammunition is being

used. Adjustment to the point of impact is to be made by an armourer only.

4. Bayonet

The bayonet is attached by placing the

hollow handle over the cleaning rod and

slipping the muzzle ring over the muzzle.

The bayonet is then pressed down until it

snaps in place.

5. Blank Firing Device

The blank firing device is to be used when firing blank ammunition. It is attached in the

following way:

1. Remove the cap protecting the threads on the muzzle.

2. Screw the blank firing device on the muzzle. It’s to be seated fully down; or else the

threads can be damaged during firing.

3. Fold down the locking frame (låsbygel) and check that it snaps in place.

The blank firing device is removed in the reverse way.
