To Fire the Rifle

1. Keeping the 10 Commandments of Shooting Safety in mind, aim the rifle downrange at the

target.

2. Release the safety lever by moving it fully downward until it covers the stamped “F” (meaning

“FIRE”) position.

3. Place the trigger finger inside the trigger guard and on the trigger.

4. After aligning the sights on the target, slowly press the trigger rearward to fire the first round.

5. Being a semi-automatic, after the first round is fired, the rifle’s action (its moving parts) will

cycle and, as the bolt moves rearward, the extractor will pull the empty cartridge case from

the chamber and eject it from the rifle (make sure there are no bystanders in close proximity

on either side of the rifle, who could be hit and injured by the ejected cartridge casing;

remember that recently ejected brass is also very hot).

6. Firing may be continued in this manner until the magazine is empty.

7. When firing is finished, place the safety lever in its “ON” or “SAFE” position by rotating it

fully upward.

8. Remove the magazine from the rifle.

9. Check the rifle’s chamber, to ensure that it does not contain a round of ammunition, by first

placing the rifle’s safety lever on “FIRE,” pulling the operating handle rearward and looking into

the chamber while keeping the rifle pointed in a safe direction. Return lever to “SAFE” position.

WARNING! If the trigger is again pressed, the rifle will fire! Keep rifle pointed in

a safe direction.

WARNING! Always unload your rifle immediately after use and prior to cleaning

and storage, in order to minimize the risk of an accidental discharge. If your rifle

ever fails to fire, keep it pointed at the target for at least 30 seconds, in the event

of a “hangfire” (slow ignition). If the round still does not fire, remove magazine,

eject and dispose of the bad round per the ammunition manufacturer’s

recommendation. Reload the rifle to resume firing. Should a subsequent failure to

fire occur, follow the same procedure to “clear” the rifle and have the rifle and

ammunition inspected by a competent gunsmith, before further use.

WARNING! The rifle will fire if the magazine is removed and if the trigger is

pulled when a cartridge is in the chamber.

WARNING! Any firearm, if dropped, could fire if there is a cartridge in the

chamber.

1. Place the safety lever in the “ON” or “SAFE” position by moving it to its fully

upward position. You should hear and audible “click” when it is in place. This

position prevents trigger movement. (See Illustration #5.)

2. Remove the magazine by pressing forward on the magazine release lever, while pulling the

magazine out of the rifle, beginning this by rocking the magazine slightly forward. (See

Illustration #7.)

3. Pull the operating handle fully rearward and look into the open action to ensure there is no

remaining cartridge in the barrel chamber. (See Illustration #10.)

4. When storing the rifle, it is a good idea to keep the safety lever in the “ON” or “SAFE”

position. Store the magazine and ammunition in a separate place from the rifle.

WARNING! Keep the rifle’s muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
