MAGAZINES - STICK MAGAZINE AND DRUM MAGAZINES

Loading the Stick Magazine

Use only factory loaded brass case ammunition of the

proper caliber manufactured to US Industry and SAAMI

specifications, referenced by markings on receiver. (See

Notice and Warnings in other sections of this manual per

taining to Ammunition).

To load the stick magazine, align each cartridge with the bullet forward (pointing

toward the larger opening in the front of the magazine body) and push down-

ward until the cartridge snaps into place. Do not attempt to load more than the

designated number of cartridges for which the magazine has been designed.

Inserting the Stick Magazine

The stick magazine can only be inserted with the bolt in the open position (see

Operation of Bolt Lock on page 9).

ALWAYS CONFIRM THE SAFETY LEVER IS IN THE “SAFE” POSITION WHEN

INSERTING OR REMOVING THE MAGAZINE.

While pushing up on the magazine catch, insert the magazine into the

bottom of the guide rails in the receiver. (see picture) Push the maga-

zine all the way up the guide rails and then release the magazine catch. A stud

in the magazine catch should mate with the hole in the magazine tube and lock

the magazine in place. Check to be sure that the magazine is securely latched in

place. It may be necessary to bump the magazine bottom with the heel of your

hand to securely lock magazine.

DAMAGED, NON-STANDARD, OR IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED

MAGAZINES SHOULD NEVER BE USED. THEY CAN CAUSE A

MALFUNCTION, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
