Manual
• Be sure cam pin is installed in the bolt group. If it isn't, your rifle can still fire and will
explode.
• If you are using a blank firing attachment, never fire anything except blank
rounds (for safety, we recommend the visible military style blank firing attachment).
• If your rifle stops firing with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel (a misfire),
remove the round fast. However, if you cannot remove it within 10 seconds, remove
magazine and wait 15 minutes with the rifle pointing in a safe direction. This way you
won't get hurt by a possible round “cooking-off” (i.e. the round detonating just from the
heat of the barrel). In any event, keep your face away from the ejection port while
clearing a hot chamber.
• If your bolt fails to unlock, and you try to free it by banging the buttstock on the ground,
keep yourself clear of the muzzle.
• If there's water in the barrel, do not fire the rifle. It could explode.
• If a noticeable difference in sound or recoil is experienced, STOP FIRING. Either
condition could indicate an incomplete powder burn and/or a bullet stuck in the bore.
WARNING: BEWARE OF DANGEROUS PROCEDURES
ALWAYS PRACTICE SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING!
