AFTER EACH SHOT, IT
IS
NECESSARY
TO LOWER THE LEVER TO OPEN THE
ACTION, extract the spent cartridge, and
eject the empty brass. When you raise the
lever, the bolt will pick up the next round and
push it into the chamber. Be sure you cycle
the lever completely. At the bottom of the
stroke, resistance will be felt as the lever
raises the front end of the carrier and aligns
the next round with the chamber.
TO UNLOAD THE RIFLE
IT
IS
NECESSARY
TO STRIP SUCCESSIVE CARTRIDGES
FROM THE
MAGAZINE TUBE BY REPEAT-
EDLY CYCLING THE LEVER. KEEP THE
MUZZLE
POINTED
IN
A SAFE DIRECTION
AND DO NOT ALLOW YOUR TRIGGER FIN-
GER TO TOUCH THE TRIGGER DURING
THIS OPERATION.
Like most lever action rifles with exposed hammers,
the Browning
92
does not have a separate manual
safety. The exposed hammer itself can be an excel-
lent indicator of the safety* status of the rifle.
The hammer has three positions: Full cock, half
cock, and dropped or fired.

cocking the hammer.

HALF COCK POSITION-This
is
the posi-
tion where the hammer should be placed
for handling and storage
(see
fig.
4.)
The hammer can be placed in this position
in either of two ways. First, every time the
lever
is
cycled the rearward movement of the
bolt will leave the hammer in this position.
The hammer may also be manually placed
at full cock by pressing it rearward with the
thumb until it engages the full cock notch. Be

In order to move the hammer from full cock
to the half cock position, you must first place
your thumb on the hammer to restrict its for-
ward movement. The trigger
is
then de-
pressed to release the hammer from the full
