ABSTRACT:
An offset sighting device has a frame with a clamping section for clamping the device to the upper handle portion of an M16 rifle and includes an adjustably mounted sight bar with adjustments both laterally for offset and vertically for range to calibrate the device when installed on an M16 rifle for accurate targeting of a target at a given range permitting the rifle to be aimed and fired from the offset position when the soldier is wearing chemical protective masks and clothing which make firing a rifle with a conventional sighting means virtually impossible.
