11. AMMUNITION
DO NOT USE AMMUNITION OTHER THAN WHAT IS
INSCRIBED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BARREL. EXAMINE
EVERY CARTRIDGE YOU PUT IN YOUR FIREARM.
DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS,
CLEANING FIREARMS OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY
RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES
KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM
AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY
AFTER HANDLING AMMUNITION.
The barrel and action of this rifle have been made with substantial safety
margins over the pressures developed by established American loads.
However, we assume no responsibility for incidents which occur through the
use of cartridges of nonstandard dimension or those developing pressures
in excess of SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’
Institute) established standards.
12. MAGAZINE CAPACITY
The magazine capacities of rifles are listed below.
It is extremely important that you know the magazine capacity of your rifle.
Under appropriate circumstances, at a range or other suitable shooting
location, load your magazine to full capacity and confirm the number of
cartridges. Remember, “total” capacity includes an additional round which
can be loaded in the chamber in addition to a full magazine.
10.2. BOLT INSTALLATION
1. On models with the claw extractor, make certain the claw extractor is
aligned with the right-hand locking lug.
2. Insert the bolt into the receiver with the lugs on the bolt aligned with
the lug tracks in the receiver.
3. Push fully forward and lower the bolt handle down to a locked position.
The “safety” can now be operated.
4. Again, make sure the “safety” is already in (or placed in) either the
intermediate or rear on safe positions.
10.3. BOLT REMOVAL
1. To remove the bolt, the firing pin must be in the cocked position. If it
already is, proceed to step 2. If not, first perform the following: With
the rifle unloaded and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, cock the
firing pin by raising and lowering the bolt handle.
2. Place the “safety” in the intermediate position.
3. Again, raise the bolt handle and draw the bolt fully to the rear.
4. Press the bolt stop located at the
left rear of the receiver and
remove the bolt (Figure 14).
The bolt has been carefully selected and
fitted at the factory to assure correct
headspace. The bolt is etched with your
rifle’s serial number for identification
purposes. Never interchange bolts, as
they may not have the proper head
space. If the bolt is lost or damaged,
return the rifle to the factory for
replacement with a properly fitted bolt.
