Welcome to Grand River Gunsmithing's comprehensive guide on mounting a Burris FastFire Red Dot Sight on your Winchester 94 or 1892 rifle. If you're looking to enhance your accuracy and shooting experience, a red dot sight can be a valuable addition to your firearm. Follow these step-by-step instructions to ensure a seamless installation process.

Tools and Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following tools and materials:

• Winchester 94 or 1892 rifle
• Burris FastFire Red Dot Sight
• Mounting screws and Allen wrench
• Gunsmithing screwdriver set
• Torque wrench
• Threadlocker

Step 1: Prepare Your Firearm

Prior to mounting the Burris FastFire Red Dot Sight, ensure your Winchester 94 or 1892 rifle is unloaded and the chamber is empty. Safety is of utmost importance when working with firearms.

Step 2: Choose the Right Mounting Location

Identify the appropriate location on your rifle's receiver for mounting the red dot sight. Consider factors such as comfort, visibility, and accessibility. The mount should provide a secure and stable foundation for the sight.

Step 3: Attach the Mounting Base

Using the gunsmithing screwdriver set, carefully attach the mounting base to the chosen location on the rifle's receiver. Ensure the screws are securely tightened to prevent any loosening during recoil.

Step 4: Apply Threadlocker

Apply a small amount of threadlocker to the mounting screws to prevent them from loosening over time. A torque wrench can help you achieve the appropriate tightness without over-tightening and damaging the screws or the receiver.

Step 5: Attach the Burris FastFire Red Dot Sight

Place the Burris FastFire Red Dot Sight on the mounting base and align the screw holes. Carefully insert and tighten the mounting screws using the provided Allen wrench. Ensure the sight is level and properly seated on the mount.

Step 6: Adjust and Zero the Sight

Once the sight is securely attached, it's crucial to adjust and zero it for optimal accuracy. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific Burris FastFire model to adjust windage and elevation settings. Take your time with this step to ensure precise alignment with your target.

Step 7: Test and Fine-Tune

Head to the shooting range to test your newly mounted Burris FastFire Red Dot Sight. Start at a close distance and gradually increase the range, adjusting as needed. This will allow you to fine-tune the sight's settings and ensure it aligns perfectly with your shooting preferences.
