up and down from the stand. Always make
certain that your firearm
is not dropped
from the stand, or dropped while it is
being taken up or down from the stand.
Remember, a loaded firearm may discharge
when dropped, even with the safety on.
BEWARE OF BARREL OBSTRUCTIONS
for the safety of both your gun and
yourself. Mud, snow, and an infinite variety
of other objects may inadvertently lodge in
a barrel bore. It takes only one small
obstruction to cause dangerously increased
pressures that may damage your gun and
cause injury to yourself and to others.
BEFORE CHECKING FOR A BARREL
OBSTRUCTION, BE CERTAIN NO LIVE
ROUND
IS IN THE CHAMBER AND
THAT THE MAGAZINE AND FEED
MECHANISMS ARE COMPLETELY
EMPTY. PUT THE SAFETY IN THE “ON
SAFE” POSITION (See page 19 for
instructions on unloading). After assuring
yourself that the firearm is completely
empty, again, open the action and look
through the barrel to be sure it is clear of
any obstruction. If an obstruction is seen,
no matter how small it may be, clean the
bore with a cleaning rod and patch as
described in “Cleaning Suggestions” on
page 31.
