The MVA Sharps Pattern Vernier Sights are designed to closely resemble the Original Sharps windage sights with refinements to enhance accuracy. MVA Sharps style sights are equipped with an internal mechanical lock. This lock is activated by slightly turning the eyedisc clockwise. Do not over tighten, just snug will do. To release the lock, simply turn the eyedisc counter clockwise. Do not make any windage or elevation adjustments with the lock engaged as damage to the sight will result.

 
   
  To adjust windage: Unlock the eyedisc and turn the knurled windage knob on the right side of the eyedisc. Each mark on the windage scale is spaced 0.020" (2 minutes of angle...MOA). By moving the single mark in between windage marks, adjustments as fine as 1 MOA are possible.

By keeping a log of settings for appropriate ranges, a shooter can return to any known setting with 1 MOA repeatable accuracy.

To adjust elevation: Unlock the eyedisc and turn the knurled knob at the top of the staff assembly. Elevation is calibrated in .010" increments (1 MOA). The elevation scale on the staff is marked in .050" increments with numeric / fractional marks at .500" increments.
Example:
1/2 - 1 - 1/2 - 2, etc. Each mark on the elevation slide scale is spaced 0.040". When the top and bottom marks on the elevation slide are aligned with marks on the staff, the four center marks are out of alignment. If the elevation slide is moved .010" up or down only one mark will be inline with a mark on the staff.
Example:
Move the elevation slide up or down until the bottom mark is inline with the 0" mark on the staff. This is your 0.000 setting. Move the elevation slide up until the next mark on the elevation slide is aligned with a mark on the staff. This is a 1 MOA adjustment. The sight setting is now 0.010". Repeat the process until the bottom line is in alignment with the next line on the staff. This setting would be 0.050".
 

 
 

Each figure represents .010" of elevation slide travel. Staff markings are spaced .050"
