IMMEDIATE ACTION
Should you notice a change in sound or recoil, the immediate action is as follows:
• Set the fire control selector to [S].
• Remove the magazine.
• Continue to prove the firearm safe and lock the bolt carrier group to the rear using the bolt catch.
• Check for unburnt propellant or a bullet lodged in the bore.
• If there is no bore obstruction, clean out any unburnt propellant.
• Re-load, re-aim, and resume firing.
• If there is a bullet lodged in the bore, DO NOT attempt to remove it. Take the rifle to a qualified gunsmith
to avoid damage to the firearm during removal.
FAILURE TO FIRE
There are several circumstances that can cause a firearm to fail to fire when the trigger is pulled. Some
can be dangerous to the operator if not handled correctly.
IMMEDIATE ACTION
If the firearm fails to fire, the immediate action is as follows:
• Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction.
• While maintaining muzzle control in a safe direction, tilt the firearm to the left and check the position
of the bolt carrier group by looking into the ejection port. Based on its position, follow the appropriate
corrective action below.
