WARNING: THIS IS A SEMI-AUTOMATIC FIREARM AND IS
IMMEDIATELY LOADED AND READY TO FIRE AFTER EACH SHOT UNTIL
THE MAGAZINE IS EMPTY. TO UNLOAD THE FIREARM, THE MAGAZINE
MUST BE REMOVED, AND THE BOLT CARRIER GROUP MUST BE
PULLED TO THE REAR WITH THE CHARGING HANDLE TO EXTRACT ANY
REMAINING ROUND FROM THE CHAMBER.
WARNING: THIS FIREARM CAN ALSO BE FIRED WITHOUT A
MAGAZINE IN PLACE.
6. Release trigger, remove nger from trigger, and set selector lever to “SAFE.” If
you have red the last round from the magazine, the bolt will be held to the rear
so that the rearm can quickly be reloaded by replacing the magazine, or the
chamber can be inspected to make sure it is empty.
WARNING: WHILE FIRING, IF YOU NOTICE A DIFFERENCE IN SOUND OR
RECOIL, STOP FIRING. A BULLET COULD BE STUCK IN THE BARREL. IF YOU
FIRE AGAIN BEFORE CLEARING THE BLOCKAGE, THE BARREL MAY BULGE OR
BURST AND CAUSE INJURY. IF THIS OCCURS, RETRACT THE BOLT SLOWLY TO
REMOVE AND IDENTIFY THE FIRED CARTRIDGE CASE. CLEAR THE FIREARM
AND MAKE SURE THE BORE IS CLEAR. ANY UNBURNED PROPELLANT OR
OBSTRUCTION IN THE BORE MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE FIRING AGAIN TO
PREVENT RISK OF DAMAGE AND INJURY.
WARNING: IF YOUR FIREARM FAILS TO FIRE, HOLD IT, KEEPING IT POINTED
TOWARD THE TARGET AND WAIT 30 SECONDS. IF A HANGFIRE (SLOW IGNITION)
HAS OCCURRED, THE ROUND SHOULD FIRE WITHIN 30 SECONDS. IF THE
ROUND DOES NOT FIRE, REMOVE THE MAGAZINE, EJECT THE ROUND AND
EXAMINE THE PRIMER. IF THE FIRING PIN INDENT ON THE PRIMER IS LIGHT,
MISALIGNED OR NONEXISTENT, HAVE YOUR FIREARM EXAMINED BY A
COMPETENT GUNSMITH. IF THE FIRING PIN INDENT ON THE PRIMER APPEARS
NORMAL (IN COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUSLY FIRED ROUNDS) ASSUME
FAULTY AMMUNITION; SEGREGATE THE MISFIRED ROUND FROM OTHER LIVE
AMMUNITION AND EMPTY CASES; RELOAD AND CARRY ON FIRING.
NOTE: On Daniel Defense rearms (or any other AR platform), it is normal for a light
ring pin indent to appear on cartridges which have been fed into the chamber, but
not red.
NOTE: Dispose of misred rounds in accordance with ammunition manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING: ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
WARNING: UNLOAD FIREARM AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.8.
