2. Use a #2 cross tip or Phillips screwdriver to remove
the recoil pad at the end of the buttstock (Figure 10).
Place a small amount of petroleum jelly on the screw
access slits on the top and bottom of the rear of the
buttstock to prevent damaging the recoil pad. Insert
the screwdriver into each of the two access holes.
Make certain the tip of the screwdriver engages the
head of the screw. Turn the screw counterclockwise
until the screw is completely loose from the stock.
When both screws are free, remove the recoil pad and
recoil pad base.
3. Install the new recoil pad to fit the rifle to your
specifications. After making an adjustment hold the
rifle to your shoulder to determine if the new length
feels comfortable. Remember, keep the muzzle pointed
in a safe direction, the “safety” in the on safe position
and make certain the rifle is completely unloaded.
4. When you are satisfied with the length of pull, start
the screws through the pad and recoil pad base into
the holes in the stock.
5. Attach the recoil pad to the stock using the
screwdriver. Turn the screws clockwise to tighten.
Do not overtighten the screws. Clean the petroleum
jelly from the recoil pad.

Three combs have been included with your rifle to allow
precise height adjustments for correct eye-to-optics
alignment (Figure 11, page 18). Three combs are included
with the SX-AR, with 8mm height differences between
each comb. Comb #1 is the lowest comb, #2 is the middle
height and #3 is the tallest comb. The #2 comb is
installed on the rifle from the factory. To install a comb
perform the following operation:
1. Make sure your rifle is completely unloaded and the
“safety” is in the on safe position.
2. Use a #2 cross tip or Phillips screwdriver to remove
the comb (Figure 12, page 18). Place a small amount
of petroleum jelly on the screw access slits on the
front and rear of the comb to prevent damaging
the comb. Insert the screwdriver into each of the two
access holes. Make certain the tip of the screwdriver
engages the head of the screw.
