Turn the gas regulator on the gas block so that the arrow on the knob points to the letters
“SUPP” when firing with the active sound suppressor attached to the rifle.
For firing without a suppressor, or with the dummy suppressor installed, turn the
knob so that the arrow points to “NORM”. DO NOT fire the rifle with a suppressor
when the regulator is set to the “NORM” setting. The rifle will function too fast, and is
subject to unreliable operation and excessive wear.
If the gas regulator is hard to turn with finger pressure alone, or is hot from firing, the rim
of a fired cartridge case may be used as a tool.
WARNING: DO NOT USE A LIVE CARTRIDGE TO TRY TO TURN A HOT
GAS REGULATOR KNOB. THE HEAT COULD DETONATE THE PRIMER
To properly maintain your SuperSASS gas regulator system, there are a few steps that
must be performed. If you plan on firing the SuperSASS rifle with the suppressor on the
rifle, the gas regulator MUST be set to the SUPP position. If the suppressor is removed,
the gas regulator must be in the NORM position.
CAUTION: Firing the SuperSASS wieh the gas regulator in the NORM position
while the suppressor is in place could cause damage to your rifle. If the SuperSASS
is fired mainly with a suppressor, the gas regulator should be cleaned every hundred
rounds. This is done by removing the suppressor, placing the regulator in the NORM
position, and firing a single twenty round magazine through the rifle to ensure the NORM
position gas port remains open. Prolonged firing in either the suppressed or unsuppressed
mode without cleaning may cause the gas regulator to become frozen or difficult to
move. During the cleaning of the rifle, a small amount of oil or penetrate into the back of
the regulator, where the gas tube cylinder meets the gas block, will help the regulator to
move properly.
ZERO THE RIFLE WITH THE SUPPRESSOR.
The normal disruption of muzzle gases and the added weight of the suppressor on the
barrel will normally shift the zero of a rifle. This shift may vary with different cartridges.
Establish both the suppressed and unsuppressed zero of the rifle and use them as
appropriate.
