3. Opening and Closing the Rifle
Opening the rifle
• Press the 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 down-
wards (“opened”).
Closing the rifle
• Do not touch locking lever.
• Hold the barrel 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.
Returning to the safe position
(locking/uncocking)
Press rear end of safety slide (cocking slide)
down with your thumb and let it slide
backwards. With some practise, this can
be done without making a sound.
CAUTION:
Under no circumstances should you put
your fingers into the triggers when disenga-
ging (cocking) or locking (uncocking) your
rifle (you may be used to do this from rifles
with exposed hammers).
This would trigger the shots, when the rifle
is loaded!
When the safety slide (cocking slide)
is in its rear position:
The rifle is locked, the hammers are
uncocked.
NOTE:
When opening the rifle - pressing the locking
lever to the right - the safety slide (cocking
slide) jumps back into the "safe (uncocked)”
position automatically.
3.1. 3.2. 4.2.
The safety system of the Blaser S 2 (S 2 Safari)
is based on uncocked firing pin springs. The
firing pin springs are cocked with the safety
slide (cocking slide) immediately before the
shot.
CAUTION:
Your Blaser S 2 is equipped with two
hammers: when the cocking slide is pushed
forward, both hammers are cocked.
Disengaging from safe position
(cocking)
Push the safety slide (cocking slide) all the
way to the front, until it locks.
Safety slide (cocking slide) in front
position: the rifle is disengaged from
safe position, the hammers are cocked.
