DURING EXTENDED SHOOTING SESSIONS OR RAPID FIRING
THE 3, 6 AND 9 0’CLOCK ACCESSORY RAILS CAN BECOME
EXTREMELY HOT. WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT BURNING
YOUR HANDS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
5. After a cartridge has fired, the bolt and charging handle automatically
move rearward, eject the empty case, then return forward, chambering
a loaded cartridge from the magazine. See Figure 11 for correct hand
placement to avoid injury from the moving charging handle.
Because fired cases are ejected to the right side, bystanders should
not stand to the right of the shooter.
6. This operation is repeated each time you pull the trigger until the last
cartridge from the magazine has been fired. If shooting is no longer
imminent, immediately place the “safety” selector in the on safe
position. See “Unloading” in Section 15 for more information.
14.1 FIRING PROCEDURES
1. Make sure the “safety” selector is
in the on safe position as
explained in Section 9 and the
muzzle is pointed in a safe
direction.
2. IMPORTANT: Before firing the rifle,
make sure the gas regulator is in
the 12 o’clock position (Figure 10).
This is the proper position for
normal firing conditions. If the
gas regulator is not in the
12 o’clock position the rifle may not function correctly.
3. Load a cartridge into the chamber as explained previously. With a
cartridge in the chamber, you need only to move the “safety”
selector to the off safe position to make the rifle ready for firing.
Do not move the “safety” selector to the off safe position unless
shooting is imminent.
THE RIFLE IS NOW READY TO FIRE BY MOVING THE
“SAFETY” SELECTOR TO THE OFF SAFE POSITION AND
PULLING THE TRIGGER.
THE SCAR 16S RIFLE HAS A RECIPROCATING CHARGING
HANDLE. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE PROPER
SUPPORT HAND PLACEMENT TO PREVENT THE CHARGING
HANDLE FROM STRIKING YOUR HAND. THE CORRECT
HAND PLACEMENT IS SHOWN IN FIGURE 11. THE
INCORRECT HAND PLACEMENT IS SHOWN IN FIGURE 12.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY.
