Hi all,

I am in a local marksmanship club that has 25 yard indoor matches with stock .22 rifles.  Per the rules you have 2 minutes to shoot a NRA B-2 target and you get two targets per match.  Use the target with the score and the for tie breakers.

Anyway I was using a vintage Win 69a with Lyman peep sight.  For what it is that old rifle is really accurate and I have been doing well with it.  The time limit is a bit short for a bolt action but can be done. I have been wanting to try a semi auto but having older eyes I like Peep sights and very few semi autos were/are made with peep sights it seems.

A couple of weeks ago I was at local military gun show and someone had an H and R Leatherneck 165 for sale.  It was a little pricey but for its age appeared to be in decent shape.   It has a nice factory mounted Redfield peep sight on the receiver.

It was in need of cleaning bad so last night I took it mostly apart and cleaned it.  There is a screw on the back side of the trigger mechanism which I thought held the trigger mechanism to the receiver but turns out it is an adjustment screw for trigger rotation adjustment which is tied into the guns bolt mechanism. 

Before I go to the range I would like to find out how to properly adjust the trigger mechanism using this screw.

I have tried but so far cannot find a manual or take down guide for this rifle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill T.

If you don't find your answers here, you might post at RFC in the NEF/H&R forum or the Numrich forum.
