WARNING –HANDLING

TO UNLOAD RIFLE AND MAGAZINE

(Rifle Must be Pointing in a Safe Direction)

UNLOAD THE RIFLE IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED SHOOTING.

If it has been desired to discontinue shooting before all of the cartridges in the

magazine and the chamber have been fired, proceed as follows (Keep your fingers

away from the trigger at all times during unloading):

1. Move the safety selector to the “Load-Unload” position.

2. Remove the magazine.

3. Open the bolt carefully so the extracted live cartridge is not ejected forcibly.

4. Inspect the chamber to be certain the cartridge has been extracted.

5. Close the bolt fully.

6. Move the safety selector to the “Fire” position and with the rifle pointed in a

safe direction, pull the trigger.

7. If necessary, cartridges can be removed from the magazine by simply pushing

them lightly downward and forward with the thumb or forefinger. But, a better

and safer procedure is to place the rubber eraser end of a pencil against the

rim of the top cartridge and press lightly downward while pushing forward.

WARNING: Do not use a loaded cartridge as a “tool” to strip cartridges from

the magazine.

Never carry the rifle loaded with the safe-

ty selector in the “FIRE” position. If

dropped or struck with the safety off, the

rifle may fire. Such a discharge can occur

with or without the trigger being directly

struck or touched. Never rest a loaded

rifle against any object (wall, fence, vehi-

cle, tree, etc.) because there is always the

possibility that the rifle will be jarred or

slide from its position and fall with suffi-

cient force to discharge. Keep safety on

unless actually firing.

Never lower (uncock) the firing pin with

a loaded cartridge in the chamber. Under

such circumstances the firing pin will be

in direct contact with the primer of the

loaded cartridge and a light accidental

blow to the firing pin can readily cause

the gun to discharge.

ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF

DROPPED
