8. If the rifle is not cocked, as when a fired cartridge case is in the chamber or in
the event of a misfire, carefully raise the bolt handle fully upward to cock it.
(Do not
retract the bolt at this point). Now, put the safety in the “Load-
Unload” position, and repeat steps 3 - 6, p. 16.
CORRECT UNLOADING SEQUENCE
!
WARNING – UNLOADING
Removing the magazine does not prevent
the rifle from being fired! When there is a
cartridge in the chamber and the safety
selector is in the “Fire” position, the car-
tridge will discharge if the trigger is
pulled. It is absolutely essential for the
user to know how to completely unload it.
“Completely” means removing the maga-
zine and
then removing a chambered car-
tridge. The safety selector should always be
in the “Load-Unload” position when the
rifle is being loaded or unloaded. See the
“Operation of Safety” section of this manu-
al.
