Unloading your A-500
CAUTlON: WHENEVER UNLOADING, ALWAYS
BE CERTAIN THAT THE MUZZLE IS POINTED
IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND THAT THE
“SAFETY” IS IN THE “ON SAFE” POSITION.
The recommended way to unload the A-500 is
simply to grasp the operating handle and cycle
the action until all rounds are ejected.
The magazine can be unloaded manually by
reaching inside the loading port with your index
finger, and simultaneously pressing in on the
bottom of the carrier and pressing the carrier
latch (See Figure 17 on page 46). Release and
remove one shell at a time from the magazine,
until empty.
ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, ACTION,
CARRIER AND MAGAZINE VERY CAREFULLY
AFTER UNLOADING TO BE SURE ALL LIVE
ROUNDS ARE CLEARED FROM THE GUN.
Breech Remains Open After the

The breech of the A-500 remains open, with the
breechblock locked to the rear, after the last shot
