Owner's Manual

WARNING! Pulling the trigger when the safety lever is in this lower position will

result in the rifle firing a round. To avoid serious injury, death or causing property

damage, make sure you know the “SAFE” and “FIRE” positions of the safety lever

before attempting to load your rifle!

1. Place the safety lever in the “SAFE” position. (See Illustration #2.)

2. Load the magazine with the correct ammunition by pressing the cartridges one at a time down

and under the magazine’s feed lips; the cartridges will automatically alternate from side to side.

Holding the magazine in your primary hand and gently tapping it against your opposite palm

will help seat the cartridges and assure good feeding. When loading the rounds into the

magazine ensure the base of the cartridge is in contact with the back of the magazine. (See

Illustration #5.)

3. Pick up the firearm with one hand and the magazine with the other. Insert the front of the

magazine into the magazine well. (See Illustration #6.)

4. Rotate the magazine rearward until it engages the latch. You should hear an audible click when

it locks into place, pull down on the magazine to ensure it has locked into place properly.

5. Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, move the safety lever downward to the “FIRE”

position.

To Load the Rifle

WARNING! Before loading, make sure the inside of the barrel is free of dirt or

other obstructions. We recommend passing a cleaning rod with brush attached

down the bore before shooting.

WARNING! Always check each cartridge to ensure it is of the correct caliber and

in good condition before loading the firearm.

WARNING! Never load a firearm indoors. An accidental discharge will cause

property damage, serious injury and/or death! Never use live ammunition to

function test your rifle indoors.

WARNING! Keep fingers away from the trigger while loading.

WARNING! Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

WARNING! The safety lever should not extend below the safety lever stop on

the bottom of the receiver or rise past the receiver cover. If this occurs, have the

rifle inspected by a competent gunsmith before further use.
