WHEN LOADING YOUR RIFLE ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN

A SAFE DIRECTION, THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION, AND

YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE

WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

REMOVING AND LOADING THE MAGAZINE

1 Inspect the chamber to be sure it is empty (Figure 4).

2 Pull the slide rearward and push the slide release/stop latch

up to lock the slide to the rear.

3 Remove the magazine from the rifle by pressing the magazine

release button with your thumb (Figure 5).

4 With the chamber empty, close the slide using the slide release/stop

latch. To reduce the chance of inadvertently feeding a cartridge

into the chamber from the magazine, always close the slide using

the slide release/stop latch and place the “safety” in the on safe

position before inserting a loaded magazine.
