Instruction Manual

If the firearm is unloaded, proceed to the following step,

otherwise refer to the procedure: UNLOADING THE FIREARM.

• Pull bolt handle rearward and then release allowing it to freely

move forward.

THE HAMMER IS COCKED! If you wish to decock the hammer

to relieve hammer spring tension for storage, please proceed

as follows.

• Remove the magazine.

• Pull the bolt handle rearward and inspect the chamber to

ensure the firearm is unloaded.

• Allow the bolt to close and then with the barrel pointed in a

safe direction, disengage the manual safety by turning the

safety selector to the FIRE position.(Fig. 2+4).

• Decock the hammer by pulling the trigger.

Notice: The hammer can be decocked only when the bolt is in

the closed position.

OBSTRUCTION CHECK

Check the barrel to be sure there are no obstructions in the

chamber and bore. This is extremely important because if

another cartridge is fired into an obstructed barrel, a dangerous

catastrophic failure can result.

To visually check to be sure there are no obstructions in the

barrel, follow the field stripping procedures listed in the

disassembly paragraph.

DISASSEMBLY
