Installation Instructions for EGW Red Dot Sights:

EGW red dot sights should be installed from left to right, with the muzzle facing forward. The dovetail has a progressive taper, making installation easier.
To install your Vortex Viper/Venom, Burris FastFire, or Docter red-dot sight, remove the rear sight on your gun and replace it with the EGW mount. You can remove the mount and replace your rear sight at any time. Mounting hardware is included.

1. Remove the rear sight*
2. Install the EGW Sight Mount in the dovetail
3. Tighten set screw (if applicable)
4. Place the red dot sight on the EGW Sight Mount (placing a small piece of paper between the red dot sight and the sight mount will make for easier removal and will keep Loctite off the red dot sight.)
5. Apply blue Loctite to the provided mounting screws
6. Torque mounting screws to 15in/lbs

For Vortex Viper and Venom Sights, two button head cap screws are provided. For Burris FastFire and Docter Sights, two flat head cap screws are provided.

The screws included with this mount require a 5/64'' allen wrench for installation. Modification of your firearm may nullify the manufacturer's warranty.
