User Manual
Your new Browning is a gas operated, semi
-
automatic repeating rifle. With cartridges in the
magazine and the chamber and the safety in the
OFF SAFE or FIRE position, the rifle will fire a
single round with each successive pull of the
trigger until the magazine and chamber are
empty. When the last round has been fired, the
bolt will be held in its rearward, or open,
position by the magazine follower. To close the
bolt, pull slightly to the rear on the operating
handle and at the same time unlatch the floor
plate, allowing the magazine
-
floorplate unit to
swing downward and forward. Then release the
operating handle and allow the bolt to move
forward to the closed position under its spring
pressure. During this operation, exercise care
that your fingers do not enter the ejection port
in the receiver.
CAUTION: THE “SAFETY** SHOULD BE KEPT
IN ITS “ON SAFE” POSITION AT ALL TIMES
EXCEPT WHEN ACTUALLY FIRING THE
RIFLE.
The crossbolt type safety is conveniently
located on the trigger guard just rearward of the
