Hello everyone I'm new the to room. and need your help :-).

I'm recently swapping the lens from an GTN to a GT, everything seems to be ok, but the rangefinder could not adjust to infinity (using the screw accessed from the top. It just would not match @ infinity object. Is there anything else the we could adjust beside the screw ?? You help is greatly appreciated! thanks in advance

Hi. I'm new to the forum myself. Just saw your post and had to join to answer you. I never even use the adjustment screws. If you loosen the mounting screws for the entire rangefinder, you can move the whole unit quite a bit. This is how I make my adjustments. Just push it forward or back until you get it right. This changes the amount of travel that you get from the actuating arm on the lens assembly. It may take a few tries, but sooner or later you should hit it just right.

Hope this helps you out...
