should never handle any firearm until you become familiar with the safe handling,
loading, unloading and carrying procedures for that particular firearm, as well as the
rules for safe gun handling in general.
LEAD WARNING!
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms or handling
ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause
birth defects, reproductive harm and other serious injuries. Have adequate
ventilation at all times when shooting. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
Basics of Safe Gun Handling
1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
2. Firearms should be unloaded when not actually in use.
3. Don’t totally rely on your gun’s safety.
4. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
5. Use the correct ammunition for your firearm.
6. If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, handle with care.
7. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting and cleaning.
8. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.
9. Don’t alter or modify your firearm and have your firearm(s) serviced regularly.
10. Learn the mechanics and handling characteristics of the firearm you are using.
Safe gun handling depends on you! A safe shooter is a knowledgeable shooter.
WARNING! STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM
if your firearm develops a mechanical malfunction; binding or stoppage, spitting
powder/gas, a cartridge primer is punctured, a cartridge case is bulged or
ruptured, or the sound on firing does not sound quite right. Do NOT try one more
shot, but unload your firearm and take it and the ammunition to a qualified
gunsmith or send it back to Century Arms for examination. Do not assume that
the firearm is empty merely because you checked the chamber. You must also check
the bore for any fired bullet jammed inside the barrel.
WARNING! Always ensure that the ammunition you are using is clean,
undamaged and of the proper caliber before loading your rifle. The manufacturer
and distributor of this rifle disclaim any liability for the use of remanufactured,
reloaded or hand-loaded ammunition. Protect your investment in this fine firearm
by using only factory fresh, quality ammunition. The use of improper caliber or low
quality ammunition could result in injury, death and/or property damage upon firing.
Remember, firearms safety depends on you!
