Manual
Use only clean, high quality ammunition, in good condition. Some.50 caliber
ammunition is old surplus, and is unreliable and inaccurate. ArmaLite cannot condone
the use of handloaded ammunition in the AR-50. Any such use voids any ArmaLite
warranty.
Make sure that no cleaning patch or other obstruction is in the Barrel or Muzzle
Brake. It may damage the Rifle or flying debris may injure somebody standing nearby.
Keep your ArmaLite in good hands… Yours! Keep it locked up and secure. Don’t
become the victim of a theft, or find your Rifle in the hands of anybody unworthy of it.
Secure the Bolt separately, or lock the Rifle in a vault.

Operating Controls
1. Bolt Handle. Lift the Bolt Handle to unlock the Bolt and pull the Bolt to the rear.
Pulling back slowly leaves the cartridge in the receiver, pulling quickly ejects it. The
AR-50 is a large rifle, and the bolt will be harder to turn than you’re used to.
