3. Opening and Closing the Rifle
Opening the Rifle Closing the Rifle
• Press locking lever all the way to the right
and hold it in this position.
• The barrel hook is disengaged.
• The barrel set can now be tilted
downwards (“opened”).
• Do not touch locking lever.
• Hold barrel set pointing in a safe
position and tilt the buttstock upward.
The breech block engages in the barrel
and is locked by the breech wedge.
• To check whether the locking lever
is closed, apply light pressure to the
left. Otherwise, disengaging from safe
position (cocking) of the rifle will not be
possible, for safety reasons.
• Mainly in new rifles, some force has to
be exerted in order to close the locking
lever. This is due to the tight, precise fits.
The wedge "pulls”.
CAUTION:
The breech block must be in its slightly
inclined forward position. If in a vertical
position, the rifle cannot be closed any
more. In this case, press the locking lever
all the way to the right and, with your
other hand, return the breech block into its
position of an inclination to the front.
