SNAP-ON SIGHT HOOD FOR

THE 7.62 BELGIUM (FAL) RIFLE

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 under-

loaded annunition and is an open sight for increased night sighting

capability.

The sight hood is oriented with the three screws facing

the muzzle end of the rifle (See attached drawings).

down on the hood until the ball detent snaps into the peep hole

3.

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

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 naximur effective

range for each ammunition type.
