Instruction Manual

Now the gun cannot be fired unless a cartridge
is placed in the barrel, following the relative
procedure:
1) Open the bolt and at the same time insert a
cartridge into the barrel through the case
ejection port (fig. 22).
2) Release the cocking lever: the bolt will push
the cartridge on the carrier into the chamber
and stop in the closed position.
NOTE: during this operation, always point the
gun in a safe direction, even though the safety
catch is engaged (see “Gun safety catch”).
Now the gun is loaded: when the safety catch is
moved to firing position (red ring visible), the
gun is ready for use.
Cartridge replacement
(This operation must be carried out with the gun
safety catch engaged - see “Gun safety catch”
and barrel pointed in a safe direction)
To replace a cartridge in the chamber, two proce-
dures can be followed:
A) by manual replacement of a new cartridge;
B) by using the cartridge drop lever.
A) manual replacement (when the cartridge is
not coming from the magazine)
1) Rest the stock on your hip and pull the cock-
ing lever to open the bolt: the cartridge in
the chamber is extracted and ejected from
the gun (fig. 23).
2) Insert a new cartridge even partially in the
barrel through the special ejection window
(fig. 22) and release the cocking lever to
close the bolt again.
B) using the cartridge drop lever (when the car-
tridge is coming from the magazine)
1) Rest the stock on your hip and pull the cock-
ing lever to open the bolt: the cartridge in
the chamber is extracted and ejected from
the gun (fig. 23).
2) Press the cartridge drop lever (fig. 6) and
release the cocking lever to close the bolt
again. In this way, the cartridge will pass
quickly from the magazine to the chamber.
