6. SECTION I. SAFETY SAFETY INS1'RUCTIONS We want you to enjoy shooting your CALICO M-IOOP, and we want you to enjoy it safely. You may be an experienced safe shooter already familiar with the procedures in this instruction manual, or you may never have handled a gun before. Either way we urge you to READ THIS ENTIRE INSTRUCfION MANUAL CAREFULLY. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCfIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF UfHERS.
7. CAUTIONS: GENERAL HANDLING CAUTIONS 1. Always handle your pistol as if it were loaded so that you never fire it accidentally when you think it is unloaded. 2. Neverpoint yourpistol at anything you do not intend to shootso that if it fires accidentally, injury, death, or damage to property will be prevented. 3.
8. 4. Always make sure your pistol is not loaded and the bolt is latched open before laying it down, or handing it to another person, so that it cannot be fired when it is unsafe to do so. 5. Always keep and carry your pistol empty, with the hammer forward except when you intend to shoot, so that your pistol cannot be fired when you do not mean to fire it. 6. Always be aware of possible risk from dropping your pistol. Some parts of the mechanism could be damaged.
9. 9. Always instruct children to respect firearms. If you teach your children to shoot, teach them or get them trained by a qualified instructor to treat and use the pistol properly, and always supervise them closely. Always stress safety so that your children will not fire the pistol when it is unsafe to do so". RANGE CAUTIONS: 10. Always be sure your backstop is adequate to stop and contain bullets before beginning target practice so that you do not hit anything outside the range shooting area. 11.
10. LOADING CAUTIONS: 13. Always be sure barrelbore, chamber and actionare clean and clear of obstructions. Clean a fouled pistol immediately so that it will function correctly and safely. 14. Always use only clean, dry, original highquality commercially manufactured ammunition in good condition which is appropriate to the caliber of your pistol. Gun and ammunition manufacturers design their products withinexacting engineering safety limits.
II. 17. Always wear and encourage others ncar you to wear car protection when shooting, especially on a range. Without protection, the noise from your pistol and other guns close to you, could leavea "ringing" in the ears for some time after firing, while the cumulative long term effect could be permanent hearing loss. 18. Always wear and encourage others to wear protective shooting glasses. Flying particles could damage eyes and cause blindness; but protectiveshooting glasses should prevent such injury.
12. 21. Never squeeze the trigger or put your finger in the trigger guard until you are aiming at a target and ready to shoot. This will prevent you from firing the pistol when it is pointing in an unsafe direction. " 22. Always be absolutely sure of your target and the area behind it before you squeeze the trigger. A bullet could travel through or past your target up to 1~ miles... if in doubt, don't shoot. 23. Never shoot at ahard surface such as rock, or a liquid surface such as water.
13. 26. Never walk, climb or follow a companion with your pistolcocked ready to fire, or with the hammer in any position other than forward on an empty chamber, to eliminate risk of accidental discharge. Whenhunting, hold your pistol so that youcan always control the direction of themuzzle, MALFUNCTION CAUTIONS: 27. Failure to fire: Always hold pistol, keeping it pointed towards the target or a safe open area and wait 30 seconds when pistol fails to fire.
14. CLEANING AND S'JORAGE CAUTIONS: 29. Always make sure your pistol is not loaded before cleaning and storing so that it cannot be fired when it is unsafe to do so. 30. Always keep and store your pistol and ammunition in separate locked receptacles out of reach and sight of children and untrained people, to minimize the risk of pistol and ammunition being easily available for loading and firing. GUN ABUSE CAUTIONS: 31. Never abuse your pistol by using it for any purpose other than shooting. 32.

19.
20. HOW TO DISASSEMBLE THE MAGAZINE The M-IOOP magazine is durable and reliable, but like all magazines it can become fouled by accumulations of dirt or wax from excessively lubricated ammunition, and it must occasionally be disassembled for cleaning. BEFORE DISASSEMBLING THE MAGAZINE MAKE SURE IT IS EMPrY. See that the follower is visible in the feed lips, then release any energy stored in the torque spring by' pushing the spring release button in the center of the winder at the back of the magazine.
21.
22. HOW TO DISASSEMBLE THE MAGAZINE (Cont'd) Gently pry the Magazine open like a clamshell, and separate the two halves. Do this on a flat surface so the loose parts, including the Front End Cap, Feed Lips, Compression Spring, Follower, and Lenses will not be lost. Pull the Winder Assembly free from the Cartridge Carrier, exposing an inch or two of the Torque Spring. Using a small tool, lift the end of the 'Ibrque Spring out of its hole in the Winder Assembly.
23. RE-ASSEMBLING THE MAGAZINE Note that the two halves of the magazine's outer shell have matching pins and sockets for alignment. Place the 'pin' half on a flat surface, concave side up. Place the follower between two segments of the helical rib, flat side down. Insert the torque spring through the front of the cartridge carrier, making sure the splined driver is properly aligned and free to move in its track.
24. RE-ASSEMBLING THE MAGAZINE (Cont'd) over the front end cap and winder assembly, and that the feed lips are locked into position. Holding the magazine together in one hand, hook one edge of the lower Ribbon Clamp into the Dovetail and snap the Clamp into place along it's full length.

The magazine is ready to load. II SECTION - DESCRIPTION AND f4~EA:rURES The MIOO Pistol was designed to maximize the potential advantages of the Helical Feed Magazine. With 100 rounds capacity, it is in a class unto itself.
26. DISASSEMBLING THE RECEIVER CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE MAGAZINEIS REMOVED AND THE CHAMBER IS CLEAR BEFORE DISASSEMBLING THE RECEIVER. OfHERWISE, SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT. The Upper and Lower Receivers are held together by two hollow spring pins, located as shown. Cock the empty pistol and put the Safety on, then push the spring pins out. If they are too tight to remove by hand, a small twig or other safe object may be used to push the pins out. CAUTION: NEVER USBLIVEAMMUNITION TO PUSHTHE PINS.
VI
28. DISASSEMBLING THE RECEIVER (Cont'd) After the pins are removed hold the Bolt back one-quarter inch or so with your thumb as shown and carefully open the Upper and Lower Receivers, exposing the Bolt. Lift the Bolt off the Lower Receiver, being careful not to lose the Ejector Rod or Buffer. CAUTION: DO Naf DRY FIRE WHILE THE RECEIVER IS DISASSBMBLED; afHERWISB THB EXPOSED HAMMER MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTAL INJURY. Do not disassemble the Lower Receiver further.
29. RE-ASSEMBLING THE RECEIVER While holding the Receiver open, place the Neoprene Buffer against the back of the Lower Receiver as shown. Place the end of the Recoil Spring Rod into the socket in the Buffer, and, compressing the Spring ~ inch, lower the Bolt in place. Lay the Ejector Rod in the slots in the top of the Bolt and Lower Receiver, making sure the 'L' part of the Ejector is to the rear and down. Close the Receiver halves together, carefully fitting the Bolt into the Upper Receiver.
30.
31. III SECTION - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE LOADING, UNWADING, AND ATTACHING THE MAGAZINE The Helical-Feed Magazine must be loaded through the Feed Lips, one round at a time like every other .22 Magazine. Loading 100 rounds may sound tedious, but is less so than loading ten rounds ten times. Also the M-IOOP Magazine is equipped with a Spring Release, so the rounds may be inserted into the Magazine with NO SPRING RESISTANCE.
