2 After each shot, cycle the lever with a downward force. Lower the

lever to open the bolt, extract and eject the empty cartridge case. At

the bottom of the stroke, resistance will be felt as the lever raises the

front end of the carrier and aligns the next round with the chamber.

Then, when you raise the lever, the bolt will pick up the next round

from the magazine and push it into the chamber. Be sure you cycle

the lever completely.

3 Because fired cases are ejected to the side, bystanders should not

stand to the side of the shooter.

TRIGGER

short, crisp pull. It is recommended that no attempt be made to

change these adjustments by anyone other than a qualified gunsmith

at a local Browning Recommended Firearms Service Center or by

Browning’s Service Facility in Arnold, Missouri.

Note: The Lightning BLR and Lightweight ‘81 BLR incorporate a

trigger mechanism which will not allow the trigger to be pulled until

the lever is fully closed.
