3 Pull the bolt completely rearward and inspect the chamber

to make sure it is empty. Return the bolt to the forward,

closed position.

4 Detach the magazine from the floorplate by grasping the sides of

the magazine and pulling it off the hinged floorplate (Figure 7).

5 Once the magazine has been detached, it may be loaded by laying

a cartridge on top of the magazine follower and pressing the

cartridge down with your thumb until it is retained in the

magazine (Figure 8). Load subsequent cartridges into the

magazine in the same manner.

NOTICE!

THE BASE OF EACH CARTRIDGE MUST BE FLUSH WITH THE REAR

OF THE MAGAZINE. IF THE NOSE OF A CARTRIDGE PROTRUDES BEYOND

THE FRONT OF THE MAGAZINE, IT COULD CAUSE FEEDING PROBLEMS OR

INTERFERE WHEN INSERTING THE MAGAZINE INTO THE RIFLE.

6 Reattach the magazine by inserting the small lip on the front of the

magazine into the matching groove in the front of the floorplate.

Snap the rear of the magazine firmly into place.

7 After loading the magazine, swing the floorplate and loaded

magazine upwards until retained by the magazine catch.
