# SNAP-ON SIGHT HOOD FOR## THE 7.62 BELGIUM (FAL) RIFLE1.  The sight hood snaps over the existing rear sight on the 7.62 Belgium (FAL) rifle. It is designed to raise the rear sight to compensate for the more curving trajectory of the underloaded ammunition and is an open sight for increased night sighting capability.2.  The sight hood is oriented with the three screws facing the muzzle end of the rifle (See attached drawings). Press down on the hood until the ball detent snaps into the peep hole3.  The slot for the existing rear sight is made tight so that the hood will fit firmly in place. If it fails to fit, file the existing rear sight as necessary. If the sight fits the slot but is difficult to snap on and off, or is too loose, adjust the ball detent by turning the center set screw on the sight hood.4.  The weapon must be zeroed on a known distance firing range to determine the sight settings and proper sight picture for standard and underloaded ammunition when using the hood. The only adjustments possible are those already on the rifle. (That is, elevation control using the graduated ramp and windage control by adjustment of the two locking screws at the base of the existing rear sight dovetail.)NOTE: It is very important to hold the rifle the same way each time so that the relation of the eye to the rear sight remains constant. The user must determine his own zero for each rifle and hood combination and maximur effective range for each ammunition type.

# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 199210 June 1964MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT : Tests of Modified Sights for 7.62 Belgium (FAL) RifleREFERENCE: Memo for Red. dated 23 May 64, Subject FAL Silencers/ Sights, from C/ME/SA/MOD/P1. On 2 June 1964, Mr. Donald R. Dunn, TSD/EB and the undersigned went to Isolation to test a modified sight and a telescopic sight developed for the 7.62 Belgium (FAL) Rifle in answer to reference a). The tests were performed with the assistance of Mr. James Barb and Mr. Glen Winstead, Isolation.2. The first tests were conducted with a Williams Peep sight modified to fit an aluminum block which was mounted in place of the standard FAL rear sight. The Williams sight has a larger diameter peep than the FAL sight and has a wider range of elevation settings as well as more positive control over both elevation and windage. The main purpose of the test was to establish a point of reference on the aluminum block to match the graduations on the Williams sight and allow the sight to be set visually for the desired range once the weapon was zeroed.3. Firing commenced from 100 yards at a silhouette target using the hood of a jeep as a rest. Both underloaded and full load rounds were used. Light rain which gradually increased in intensity during the day served to complicate the procedure. The test results at ranges from 25 yds. to 130 yds, using the Williams sight are summarized in Attachment I. Exceedingly erratic results were obtained throughout the tests and one attempt to duplicate the 100 yd. zero resulted in a different setting later in the day.4. A 2X scope of Japanese manufacture equipped with aluminum mounting rings front and rear to fit the rear gas port and rear sight mount respectively then tested. The scope was attached to the rifle with difficulty and attempts to zero it were frustrated by the inability to determine where the rifle was shooting. The mounting moved while attempting to adjust the elevation knob and it was determined that the mount could not be attached firmly enough to insure in retaining a proper zero. The test with the scope was aborted.SECRET

5. It is recomended that the scope and mount be discarded as unfeasible. The Williams sight is acceptable although the number of clicks per revolution of the knob should be reduced. Further testing of the underloaded ammunition should be conducted to determine the reasons for the erratic performance.cc: C/TSDC/WH/SA/MCR/PM (Cal Hicks)Attachment: As StatedDDP/TSD/EB/DJH/ECC/TSD/SDBDANIEL J.

# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992SECRET*AMLASH-1*1 July 1964MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Test of Open Sight Hood for 7.62m Belgium (FAL) RifleREFERENCE: A) Memo for Rcd. dated 25 May 1964, Subject: PAL-Silencers/8ights, from C/TE/SA/MOB/PNB) Memo for Rcd. dated 10 June 1964, Subject: Testsof Modified Bights for 7.62 Belgium (FAL) Rifle1. On 15 and 16 June 1984, the undersigned and Mr. Bob   Ricker, TSD/SDB went to Isolation to test an open sight hood for   the 7.62mm Belgium (FAL) Rifle developed in answer to Ref. A.   The Modified Williams peep sight developed previously in answer   to Ref. A and reported on in Ref. B. proved unsatisfactory to the   requester. The snap-on sight hood was then developed on a quick   reaction basis to be simpler to install and easier to use than   the Williams sight. In addition some improved underloaded 7.62m   NATO rounds having soft. annealed cases and cream of wheat filler   vere tested for performance. These were developed in hopes of   correcting the erratio azmunition performance, noted ja Ne2. The open sight hood snaps over the existing rear sight   of the FAL rifle, and in theory makes shooting in poor light or   at night easier. It can be used with either standard factory   loads or the underloaded ammunition in conjunction with the muzzle   attachment silencer. The notch on the rear sight hood is "U" shaped   and raised to compensate for the more curving trajectory of the low   velocity ammunition. The hood is easily detached making the con-   ventional peep sight available any time it is desired.3. The attached data sheet summarizes the test results. It   vas found that some familiarization vas necessary to get used to   the open sight. Under ideal conditions the sight was as easy to   use as the peep sight although it was more difficult to maintain   uniform vertical grouping. The relationship between the eye and   rear sight was found to be very critical. As the tests proceeded   a change was noted in the point of impact vs. point of aim which was   thought to be due to a change in sight picture on the part of the   undersigned.4. The improved ammunition was found to be quite consistant   in performance. The use of cream of wheat filler to tamp the powder   charge against the primer vas an attempt to get more even ignition   with correspondingly improved accuracy. The expended cartridge   cases vere checked periodically and no evidence vas found of the   soft annealed cases not expanding properly. During the teste the   rifle and ammunition combination instilled a degree of confidence   in the undersigned not present in the previous teste.SECRET
[104-10216-10234.pdf — page 2]
8. On 19 June 1964, the undersigned went to the warehouse at Franconia to try to fit the sight hood to other 7.65mm FAL rifles. It was suspected that the fit might be a problem when it would not fit over the rear sights of three FAL rifles at Isolation. Although it was later determined that the three rifles were of a different lot and may therefore have different tolerances on the rear sight casting, it was felt that further checking was necessary. Nine FAL rifles from the same lot as those obtained by WH/SA/MOB/PM were unpackaged and the sight hood tried on the rear sight. Of the nine, two were perfect fits and the other seven too thick for the hood to fit. This created a problem in that the sight hoods had to fit rifles which for operational reasons could not be measured before hand to determine the thickness of the rear sight blade. Providing adjustment in the slot of the sight hood would have complicated the fixture to the point where it could become operationally unsuitable. Therefore it was determined that the best solution was to provide several small files with the hoods. The peep sight on the rifles, a soft casting, was found to be quite easy to file. In most cases it would be necessary only to file several thousandths to obtain a proper fit. This procedure was explained to C/WH/SA/MOB/FM and he stated that it would be acceptable.9. On 24 June 1964, three open sight hoods with accessories consisting of two files and a small screwdriver were turned over to C/WH/SA/MOB/PM. In addition, 400 rounds of improved under- loaded ammunition with cream of wheat filler were provided as a replacement for the original 400 underloaded rounds.10. On 29 June 1964, it was discovered that a scope was availabl for the 7.62mm Belgium (FAL) Rifle (Sniper Version) and in the Agency supply system. Steps are being taken to obtain a scope for evaluation. The results will be forwarded to C/WH/SA/MOB.DDP/TSD/EB/DJH/ECcc: C/TSDC/TH/SA/MOB/PMDANIEL J. BOGANTSD/EBSECRET

OPERATIONAL ACTIVITYA. Preparations were underway in early November to dispatch ANTRUNK-13 to Madrid in mid-November to cement the recruitment of AKTEUNK-19. These plans fell through when the Madrid Station notified Headquarters and WAVE that their workload would not allow sufficient case officer time to handle AMTEUNK-13 in Madrid at this time. FAVE agreed to postpone ANTRUNK-13's trip to Madrid several weeks until Madrid Station's workload abated somewhat.B. The prospects of finalizing the recruitment of ANTRUNK-19 increased however with the receipt at WAVE of another open letter from AMTRUNK-19, this one mailed from Mexico City in mid-November. In ANTRUNK-19's first letter, mailed from Montreal in mid-October, he suggested using a friend in Mexico City as a cut-out to initiate a channel of communications between himself and ANTRUNK-13. In his second letter, AMTRUNK-19 stated that he had wade the necessary arrangements with his friend in Mexico. Although WAVE, Headquarters and MΕΧΙ traces on ANTRUNK-19's friend, IDEN A, were fragmentary, Mexico Station stated that IDEN A was well-known to one of its PBRUMEN assets who vouched for IDEN A's loyalties. WAVE intends to send an innocuous letter to ANTRUNK-19 in ANTRUNK-13's handwriting to keep the channel with A-19 alive. ANTRUNK-19 appears eager to see ANTRUNK-13 again and has stated in both letters that he has considerable information to discuss in detail. It is well realized that this open letter channel is far from ideal but it is hoped that in early January 1965 ANTRUNK-13 can re- contact ANTRUNK-19 and provide him with a system of S/WAttachment: USC IDEN SheetDistribution: 3- Addressee, w/att.

CONTINUATION OFDISPATCHSECRETUFGA-19045*   as well as debrief him thoroughly and levy PI and MHAPRON requirements upon him.C. In mid-November after the postponement of AMTRUNK-13's Madrid trip, preparations began to launch Operation AMTRUNK X in early December. This operation would attempt to re-organize the ratline to and from Havana and the AMTRUNK infil area for the future use of infiltrated MHAPRON recruiters and other agent assets as necessary. Secondary objectives are to bring into the infil area a cache of weapons and explosives for AMTRUNK-10/AMLASH-1 and to teach a system of S/W to one or more assets in the area. The team is to be composed of the same four individuals who participated in Operation AMTRUNK IX in October 1964: AMAGREE-1, Team Leader; AHAKA-1, Radio Operator; and AMTRUNK-16 and -20, Guides. It was decided to shelve the V-20 as the Intermediate Craft (IC) for this operation and substitute a 17' Johnson boat with twin 75 hp. outboard motors which could maneuver through shallower water and which could be more easily camouflaged. The basic reason for this decision was the fact that December through February are the low-water months in the AMTRUNK operational area. During this shallow water season, the heavier, wider V-20 can only be used in the deeper and more heavily-guarded infiltration canals.D. Through the combined efforts of AMICE-14, the AMTRUNK P/A, and AMAGREE-1 and AMAKA-1, four radio operator candidates, to be trained for future use in PM operations, were recruited during the reporting period.E. Recruiting for MHAPRON infiltration candidates continued during the reporting period. One prospective infiltree was recruited during the month of November and the case officer was active in assessing and debriefing two other candidates. It is hoped that by March 1965 one or more of these candidates will be trained and prepared for infiltration for clandestine MHAPRON recruiting. In large measure this will depend upon the success of Operation AMTRUNK X in re-organizing the ratline to and from Havana.F. S/W Message No. 13 was sent to AMTRUNK-11 in response to his Message No. 15 in which he stated that both OWVL receivers were now in his possession.
