Most failures to feed are due to improperly loaded, damaged, or dirty ammu-
nition, or improper rifle handling.
If a jam or failure to feed occurs, point the rifle in a safe direction and place
the hammer at the half-cock position.
Point the rifle barrel towards the sky and remove the magazine tube. Allow all
the rounds in the magazine well to slide out of the rifle. When the magazine
well is empty, with the rifle pointed skyward, gently lower the lever and allow
the stuck round to slide to the rear and out of the magazine well. Check to see
if there is a round in the chamber. When the rifle has been completely
unloaded, it may again be loaded in the proper procedure.
DISASSEMBLY
Unload the rifle.
Remove the magazine tube from the magazine well.
Unscrew the lever screw 14 (hinge pin) and drop the lever and breech block
assembly out the underside of the action (receiver). Use a hollow ground
screwdriver of the correct fit to avoid damage to the screw.
