General Advice on the use of W A LTHE R Small-Bore Rifles:

1. Sights

Before commencing to shoot, ensure

that the screws holding the front and

rear sight are tightened up.

-

The prism diopter is adjustable for
50, 100, and 150 m. Setting the rear
sight for these distances is effected
by means of the elevation screw.

The scale markings must in each
instance coincide with the Zero mark
(see arrow).

Windage correction:

to right, turn knob=R to the left

(anti-clockwise); if shots go to the
left, turn knob

2. Sling Attachment

;."

JII. 16. When inserting the sling holder into the
groove of the sling rail, see to it that the clamp-
ing lever stands sideways. Move the sling

holder to the required position.
JII.17. To fix the holder, push the lever upwards

(see illustration). When altering the position of

5

JII. 17 JII. 18

the holder, reverse the order of manipulation.

A sling holder with handstop is available for

Match (see JII. 18).

3. WALTHER Rifle Sling

JII. 19. Push sling end (a) through

loop (b), then apply sling swivel and
buckle (c). Adjust length as required

by the shooter. When applying the
sling to the left upper arm (left-hand-

push loop (b) back until the sling fits

the arm firmly. Finally, push fixing

hook (d) through both parts of the
sling and insert locking pin in the
holes in the hook.

JII. 20. Attach the sling swivel to the
sling holder. The rifle may now be

brought up to the shooting position.

The sling, owing to its rigid method

of fixing, cannot change its firm
position.

JII. 41. Put the bolt handle on the
bolt. Make sure that the spring pin

(a) is seated correctly in the notch

(b) in the bolt handle unit at the
lug (c).

9. Care of the rifle

After shooting, clean the bore of the

barrel thoroughly and wipe with a

patch saturated with non-resinous
and acid-free oil.

JII. 45. Place "the fingertip over the
muzzle so as to prevent the tip of
the cleaning rod (jag) from coming
out of the muzzle. Do not push the

jag with the patch right out of the
muzzle and then try to withdraw the

rod by force.
Lubricate the bolt lightly and leave
a thin coat of oil on all metal parts
when the rifle is not in use. Wipe
the bore with a dry patch before use.

It is recommended to remove the
lead deposit from the chamber with
a brass wire brush (NOT WITH A
STEEL. WIRE BRUSH) after firing
about 1 000 shots. The brush must
penetrate the barrel to a depth of
not more than 60-80 mm. Oil the
bore again

afterwards.
