Operators Safety & Instruction Manual

LOADING THE FIREARM
• Place the fire control selector [5] on “S”. (Refer to figure on pg. 8)
• Push the magazine [2] into the magazine well until the magazine catch [1] engages with a positive
“Click” to hold the magazine inside the magwell.
[Note: For loading your magazine please see the instructions for your magazine]
• Pull the cocking handle [3] to the rear.
• Release the cocking handle: DO NOT “Ride” the cocking handle, let it go forward on it’s own.
[Note: If your bolt is already in the OPEN position or to the rear, depress the bolt catch [6]. The bolt
will slide forward on its own pushing a cartridge into the chamber and lock the bolt.]
THE FIREARM IS NOW LOADED WITH A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER: THE HAMMER IS COCKED READY
TO FIRE.
USE OF THE FORWARD ASSIST - The Forward Assist helps to lock the bolt into the barrel. Use of the
forward assist will only be helpful on rare occasions, however when it is required it is a good indication
that it is time to clean your firearm. If the forward assist does not function using thumb pressure only,
thoroughly inspect the firearm.
• Close the ejection port if you wish. This will open automatically after the first round is fired.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR FIREARM COCKED AND LOADED WITHOUT THE SELECTOR IN THE “S”
POSITION. THE FIREARM COULD EASILY BE FIRED OR DISCHARGE CAUSING DEATH, INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
