Manual

Never place or store any firearm in such a

manner that it may be dislodged. Firearms

should always be stored securely and

unloaded, away from children and careless

adults. Use the locking device supplied with

the rifle for storage.

The use of a locking device or safety lock is

only one aspect of responsible firearms stor-

age. For increased safety, firearms should be

stored unloaded in a location that is both

separate from their ammunition and inacces-

sible to children and any other unauthorized

person.

Do not store the rifle in a leather case or scabbard. Leather attracts moisture,

even though the case may appear to be perfectly dry.

TO RENDER THE RIFLE INOPERATIVE FOR SAFE STORAGE

With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, remove the magazine (if applicable),

open the bolt, and check the chamber and the magazine to be sur

e the rifle is

completely unloaded! Depress the bolt latch, located at the left rear of the receiv-

er. Now pull the bolt fully to the rear. The bolt will come out the rear of the

receiver.

Store the rifle and the bolt in different locations. When disassembled in this

manner, the rifle is inoperable. It is impossible to fire the rifle until the bolt has

been correctly replaced into the rifle’s receiver.

To reassemble the rifle for firing, reinsert the bolt into the receiver from the rear.

With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, close the bolt. Check to be sure that

the bolt can be operated fully and freely. The rifle is now reassembled and can be

loaded and fired normally.

While the rifle is less likely to be used by unauthorized persons when disas-

sembled in the above manner, it is always safest to store any firearm with the

supplied locking device correctly installed, or to store the firearm in a gun safe

or other secure location away from children and unauthorized adults. Guns

should always be stored securely, unloaded

and separate from their ammuni-

tion.
