10.1. BOLT RELEASE FUNCTION
The bolt release is located on the left side of the rifle, just above the
magazine release (Figure 5). It automatically engages after the last
cartridge in the magazine has been fired and locks the bolt to the rearmost,
open position.
To release the bolt when no magazine is in the rifle and the bolt is locked
rearward, press inward on the bolt release, or pull the charging handle to
the rear to disengage the bolt release and then release the charging
handle. This will allow the bolt to return to the forward position.
10.2. BOLT LOCK FUNCTION
The bolt release can also be used to lock the bolt in the rearward position
when the magazine is removed. To lock the bolt in the open or rear position,
pull the charging handle all the way to the rear and press inward on the
bottom portion of the bolt release (Figure 6).
11. AMMUNITION
DO NOT USE AMMUNITION OTHER THAN WHAT IS DESIGNED
FOR USE IN YOUR SCAR RIFLE. EXAMINE EVERY
CARTRIDGE YOU PUT IN YOUR FIREARM.
With the “safety” selector in the “S” position, the rifle is in the “on safe”
position, and rearward movement of the trigger is completely blocked
(Figure 3).
With the “safety” selector in the “1” position the rifle is off safe and ready
to fire (Figure 4).
10. BOLT RELEASE
WHEN USING THE BOLT RELEASE ALWAYS KEEP THE
MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND KEEP YOUR
FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. UNLESS SHOOTING IS
IMMINENT, ALWAYS REMOVE THE MAGAZINE FROM THE
RIFLE BEFORE CLOSING THE BOLT TO PREVENT
INADVERTENTLY LOADING A CARTRIDGE FROM THE
MAGAZINE INTO THE CHAMBER.
MAKE SURE YOUR FINGERS ARE SAFELY AWAY FROM THE
EJECTION PORT AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE BOLT IS LOCKED
OPEN AND WHEN THE BOLT IS RELEASED TO AVOID
PINCHING THEM WHEN THE BOLT CLOSES.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
