Operating and Safety Manual

OPERATION OF YOUR FIREARM… (cont’d.)
Aim at Target – Pull Trigger – Release.
The Firearm will automatically eject the spent Cartridge
and chamber another Round in preparation for the next
shot. The cycle of pulling the Trigger to shoot, and the
Firearm automatically reloading, can be continued until
the Magazine is empty.
NOTE: After the last Round is fired, the Bolt Carrier will lock in the rear position. You can
then push the Magazine Release Button to drop out the empty magazine, insert a fresh
Magazine, release the Bolt Catch, and a new Round will be automatically chambered in
preparation for the next firing sequence.
WARNING… IF A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN SOUND OR RECOIL IS EXPERIENCED,
STOP FIRING AND IMMEDIATELY CHECK THE FIREARM FOR OBSTRUCTIONS
. AN OBSTRUC-
TION MAY CAUSE A MALFUNCTION CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Either condition could indicate an incomplete powder burn and/or a bullet stuck in the bore. Retract the
Bolt slowly and remove the fired cartridge case. Clear the Firearm and check for unburned powder grains
in the Receiver or Bore, and for a Bullet stuck in the Bore (See Page 17). Clean out any unburned powder
before resuming firing. If a Bullet is stuck in the Bore, do not attempt to remove it.
Take the Firearm to a qualified Gunsmith.
CONDITION: Firearm is now Loaded, a Round is chambered, and Safety Selector should be on SAFE.
To
FIRE the Firearm in SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE (one Round fired with each pull of the
Trigger)
, move the Safety Selector Lever from SAFE to FIRE .
