The TSR XP USA features a Controlled
Round Push Feed (CRPF) bolt design
(Figure 3). Like the Controlled Round
Feed bolt, the CRPF bolt securely
captures the base of the cartridge
when chambering for a straight shot
into the chamber, protecting the
bullet point. It also allows for easy
extraction, even if the cartridge is not
fully chambered. Like a push-feed
bolt design, the CRPF extractor rides
easily over the cartridge rim for
direct-to-the-chamber loading.
A fixed blade ejector gives more control over cartridge ejection (Figure 4).
Unlike plunger-style ejectors, the blade system allows you to vary the
amount of ejection force. Pull sharply rearward on the bolt and the
cartridge ejects clear of the rifle. Pull the bolt back slowly and easily
remove the cartridge from the action.
Prior to using live ammunition, familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
operating instructions in this owner’s manual. Get accustomed to the feel
of your new firearm and know the forces required to operate the action.
Learn how to pull the trigger and, above all, know the location and
operation of the “safety.” Procedures for disassembly and operation of
various components are outlined later
in this owner’s manual. Please
read and study them thoroughly.

NOMENCLATURE
In conventional firearm terminology
the position and movement of firearm
parts are described as they occur
with the firearm horizontal and in the
normal firing position: i.e., the muzzle
is forward or in front; the buttstock is
rearward or to the rear; the trigger is downward or underneath; the sight is
upward or on top. For general parts nomenclature, refer to Figure 1 (pages
12 and 13).
Throughout this owner’s manual the “action” refers to the mechanism of
this rifle which loads and secures the cartridges in the chamber.
7. SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number is located on the right side of the receiver, just forward
of the loading/ejection port. Record the serial number at the front of this
owner’s manual for future reference.
8. INITIAL CLEANING AND OILING
WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN ASSEMBLING AND
DISASSEMBLING YOUR RIFLE TO PREVENT SPRINGS,
SPRING-LOADED PARTS, SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS
FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN INJURY.
Some metal parts of your new firearm have been coated at the factory
with a rust preventative compound. Before using your firearm, clean the anti-
rust compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, bolt mechanism and
the action/chamber areas. A high quality, lightweight gun oil should be used
to remove this compound and to give your new firearm its first lubrication.
