To fire a shot, it is necessary to release the trigger and press it
anew. After the trigger has been released, the rod moves forward and
its hook engages the sear and, if pressed, the rod hook turns the sear
and disengages it from the hammer-cocking cam.
The hammer actuated by the mainspring turns round its pin and
strikes the firing pin. The latter travels forward and impinges the
primer. Thus, a shot is fired.
With the last cartridge fired and the bolt returned to the rearward
position, the magazine follower lifts the bolt catch; the latter
engages the bolt to stop the bolt support in the rearward position.
Thus, it is necessary to load the rifle anew.
The rifle has a gas regulator, which serves to change recoil speeds
of moving parts. Under conditions of proper servicing with the parts
lubricated, the gas regulator is set at division 1. On firing during a
long time without cleaning and lubricating and heavy soiling of the
rifle, stoppage may occur š incomplete recoil of the moving parts. In
this case the regulator is set at division 2. To change the regulator
from one position to another use the rim of the cartridge case or the
cartridge.
