4 After a cartridge has fired, the bolt automatically moves rearward,
ejects the empty case, then returns forward, chambering a cartridge
from the magazine. Because fired cases are ejected to the side,
bystanders should not stand to the side of the shooter.
5 This operation is repeated each time you pull the trigger until the
last cartridge from the magazine has been fired. If shooting is no
longer imminent, immediately place the “safety” in the on safe
position. See “Unloading” on pages 19-20 for more information.
6 After the last cartridge is fired, the bolt will lock in the rearward
position. If you wish to continue shooting, you can reload the rifle
as detailed previously. After reloading the magazine, if shooting is
imminent, you can chamber a cartridge and resume firing by
pulling the operating handle fully rearward and releasing it.
AFTER FIRING, OR WHEN SHOOTING IS NO LONGER IMMINENT,
IMMEDIATELY PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
EVEN WITH THE BOLT LOCKED OPEN AFTER SHOOTING, DO NOT ASSUME
THE FIREARM IS UNLOADED. ALWAYS INSPECT THE CHAMBER, FEED
MECHANISM AND MAGAZINE TO BE CERTAIN THE FIREARM IS COMPLETELY
UNLOADED. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
