AMMUNITION Please allow 100-150 rounds for initial “Break-In” period NOTICE WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY WHATSOEVER OCCURRING IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS THE RESULT OF, THE USE OF FAULTY, OR NONSTANDARD, OR “REMANUFACTURED” OR HANDLOADED (RELOADED) AMMUNITION, OR OF CARTRIDGES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE FIREARM WAS ORIGINALLY CHAMBERED.
bullet is in the bore, do not attempt to shoot it out by using another cartridge, or by blowing it out with a blank or one from which the bullet has been removed. Such techniques can generate excessive pressure, damage the firearm and cause serious personal injury. If the bullet can be easily removed with a wood or brass dowel, (using hand pressure only, never "hammer" a bullet lodged in the bore) clean any unburned powder grains from the bore, chamber and mechanism before resuming shooting.
LOADING Warning: Keep muzzle pointed in safe direction and follow all safety procedures at all times. Practice these steps with an unloaded gun or dummy ammo until you are completely familiar and comfortable with the procedures. Use live ammo only when you are prepared to shoot. Always use clean, dry, high quality ammunition (of the proper caliber) that meets industry performance standards. First check the caliber of the ammunition to be the same as indicated on the barrel.
Finger position when levering Put the fingers (we suggest middle, ring and little fingers) in the loading lever loop. IMPORTANT: the forefinger must be always kept out of the triggerguard and away from the trigger not to risk an accidental discharge. The thumb should be kept outward far Close the lever also with firm and smooth action. During this phase, the breech bolt has cocked the hammer.
The rear sight is manually adjustable to shoot higher or lower by moving the rear sight ramp by one or more notches. This adjustment will allow the rear sight to be adjusted lower or higher. It’s possible to adjust the rear sight for windage by following these steps: loosen the screw on the upper front side of the sight. Take a non-marking brass, plastic or fiber hammer and gently tap the rear sight base to the left or to the right according to the direction you wish to move the point of aim.
Take Down re-assembly Be sure to engage the tooth of the two parts of the receiver so that they match, lower the top receiver until it touches the bottom. Now tighten the locking screw.
