REMEDIAL ACTION…
IF YOUR RIFLE STILL FAILS TO FIRE, CHECK THE TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION
IN THIS MANUAL - OR TAKE THE RIFLE TO A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH.
If your Rifle still fails to fire after performing
Steps 1 through 5 on previous page, check
again for a jammed cartridge case.
WARNING: If your rifle stops flring with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel,
remove the round fast. However, if you cannot remove it within 10 seconds, remove the
magazine and wait 15 minutes with the rifle pointing in a safe direction (always check that
the “SAFE” direction remains safe during that time). This way you won't get hurt by a
possible round cooking off. REGARDLESS, KEEP YOUR FACE AWAY FROM THE
EJECTION PORT WHILE CLEARING A HOT CHAMBER.
If a cartridge case is in the chamber, open
the receivers, remove the bolt carrier, and try
to tap out the case with a cleaning rod.
