This errata sheet provides information that isn't contained in the AR-180B
Instruction Manual, or highlights information that is extremely
important.<span style="mso-spacerun:

it.</font></span></p>

yes">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br>
Read and understand the safety warnings in the operators manual before you
do anything else.<span style="mso-spacerun:

brake) concentrates muzzle blast near the shooter.<o:p>

THE FRONT SIGHT FOR WINDAGE:</b><span style="mso-spacerun:
yes">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br>
The AR-180B�s screw-clamping front sight base allows the owner to zero
the front sight for windage, much like the front sight of the M-1 rifle
was zeroed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>This results in
the rear sight being nicely centered in the rear sight base of the zeroed
rifle. <o:p>
</o:p>
</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-
size:10.0pt"><font face="Arial">To
do so, center the rear sight in the middle of the rear sight base.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;
</span>Fire a three-shot group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span>To adjust the next shot group to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-
style:normal">left</i>,
loosen the clamping screws and shift the front sight to the <i style="mso-
bidi-font-style:normal">right</i>
very slightly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>To shift
the group to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">right</i>, shift
the sight to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">left</i>.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;
</span>Make final adjustments by zeroing in the normal manner using the
windage knob of the rear sight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;
</span>Elevation
is adjusted by raising or lowering the front sight.<span style="mso-spacerun:
yes">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><o:p>

</span>Like the aluminum-framed AR-10 and M-15 rifles, the thin web of

may produce an opening in the middle of the rear wall of the magazine
