3. When the drum is fully loaded, replace the cover and magazine key. The
cuts in the rotor shaft need to be aligned with the magazine key; while exerting
downward pressure on the cover, slide the key fully onto the rotor shaft. For the
L-Type 50 round drum, wind the key 9-11 clicks as stated on the magazine cover.
For the X-type 10 round drum, wind the key 4-6 clicks.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT WIND MORE
THAN THE STATED AMOUNT OR AFTER ANY ROUND HAS BEEN
FIRED.
4. To unload, hold the drum upside down and press bullets out forward one by
one through the mouth of the magazine until empty.
WARNING: DO NOT OPEN COVER WHEN LOADED AND ROTOR IS
UNDER TENSION AS DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.
5. To insert or remove the drum magazine from the firearm, the bolt must be
locked back. Please refer to page 9 under “Operation of the Bolt Lock.”
6. Insert the drum in the slots in the receiver from the left side of the firearm until
the magazine catch locks in place. The drum may fit tightly the first few times.
7. After the last round has been fired from the drum magazine the bolt will close. In
order to remove the drum magazine from the firearm the bolt must be locked back.
To assist in locking the bolt back each drum from Auto-Ordnance includes a “third
hand” (see picture). This device is inserted into the guide rails for the stick mag-
azine while pulling back on the magazine catch. The stud in the magazine catch
should fit in the opening on the third hand. The third hand can now be pushed fully
upward against the trip lever while pulling all the way back on the bolt handle. Now
release the bolt handle at the end of its travel and it will be locked back. Remove
the third hand from the guide rails. While pushing up on the magazine catch the
drum magazine can be slid out of the slots from the left side of the firearm.
