Installing Sight Pin Light (LED Assy.) into Shrewd or other Scope:

STEP 1:

  To remove 8” piece of fiber optic strand from protective sheathing, push it out using another piece of fiber or hold one end of sheathing and gently tap it against leg or hand until fiber is exposed, and pull out.  Cut approximately a 1.50” to 1.75” long piece of CLEAR fiber from the 8” piece supplied, (for open-top Shrewd scopes, Blue fiber may be used).  Flare one end of fiber by heating the short end of an Allen wrench and gradually bringing it close to the fiber, without touching it.  Repeat until the flared end of fiber is at least 1/16” or slightly larger (.063”-.080”) in diameter.

 STEP 2:

  Cut a 5/16” (.31) or 1/4” (.25) for Shrewd Scope, piece of sheathing from 8” piece supplied.

 STEP 3:

  Slip pre-cut piece of sheathing over 1.5” piece of flared fiber optic strand.

 STEP 4:

  Carefully press sheathing and fiber with flared end into brass LED housing.  If sheathing with fiber does not seem tight inside brass housing, remove sheathing and fiber from housing.  Pull sheathing off fiber and slightly mash down the end going into LED brass housing.  Re-insert with fiber into brass housing. Sheathing will fit tight but still be removable if necessary. 

 STEP 5:

  Screw LED assembly with fiber into scope housing. Fiber length may need to be trimmed before actually feeding it into up or down pin or lens hole.  Check by laying fiber near pin first, if it sticks out too far past pin, trim accordingly.

 STEP 6:

  Once length is correct, feed fiber through pin.

 STEP 7:

  Flare this end to your preference using the heated end of an Allen wrench as recommended.

        To Add an 8-32 or 10-32 tapped hole to a scope or pin sight:

        1.  Determine the best location for the LED.  See above drawing for Shrewd Scope.

        2.   Pre-drill an .062 diameter starter hole.

        3.   Drill out the starter hole with a #29 bit for an 8-32 hole or #21 bit for a 10-32 hole.

        4.   Carefully tap hole to required tap size.
Note:  Many tool or hardware stores supply the #29 or #21 bit with the tap as a set.
