    Back again, I finally got a GI sunshade for the scope.
    I am having some trouble figuring out the correct installation of the split ring that came with the shade. The shade itself slides over the front of the scope, no problem, but I am wondering how to utilize the split ring. I suppose it is for locking the shade in place, but I can't figure out how. I feel so damn cautious all the time, and I figured it is always better to ask first, and then do

    The manual juat says to "slide the sunshade over the tube and insert the split ring to secure it in place." Wish I could be of more help.

    My M1D is set up with a Lyman Alaskan post & crosshair reticle. I put the M84 into storage. too many black flakes floating around inside the tube after a few shots. The 2.5x Alaskan scope is far less expensive than the M84 & is easier for me to shoot. Even with the leather cheek piece, I don't get a solid cheek weld (maybe it's me). But the M1D mount & scope are offset to the barrel, thus is difficult to sight in at different distances. Left-eye dominat shooters would appreciate this set-up. The CMPicon M1D and my Lyman Alaskan will shoot about 2" groups @ 100 yds with LC 72 ammo. I actually do better with no scope on a different M1icon (non-bedded). It's good to hear that someone actually shoots their M1D!

    Installation of the split ring

    Here is how the split ring attaches to the scope.

    (assuming the sunshade is off of the scope)

    Step 1: Slide the split ring over the objective end of the scope and let it set just in front of the turrets.

    Step 2: Slide the sun shade over the objective end of the scope and move it all the way to the rear (retracted)

    Step 3: Holding onto the sun shade, start placing the split ring under the rear edge of the sunshade. There is a small lip at the rear of the sunshade (inside) that the split ring snaps into. Just start at one end of the ring and work your way around.

    If you need pictures, let me know. James

    I just got the manuals for the M84 in the mail from far far away (the US ) and I am all set, so thank you for your kind offer Twinson, but I managed to figure it out. These manuals are awesome, and I just love browsing and learning from them
