Bolt Locking Safety Features
This firearm can fire only when the bolt is fully locked to the
barrel and the firing pin is free to move forward. The firing
pin is prevented from reaching the cartridge by the bolt
carrier. Only when the bolt carrier moves forward over the
bolt, rotating it to the fully locked position, can the firing pin
move forward enough to fire the rifle. This design feature
makes sure that the rifle will not fire before the cartridge is
fully chambered and the bolt is fully rotated (locked) to the
barrel.
Even with the bolt locked, if you do not use the proper
ammunition, your rifle could blow up or blow down through
the magazine. See inside front cover and elsewhere in the
manual where we clearly emphasize that you should use only
clean, dry, original, high quality, commercially manufactured
ammunition in good condition. Keep the bore of the barrel
clear at all times.
Disconnect
The Disconnect, which is part of the firing mechanism,
prevents the firearm from firing fully automatic. As the
hammer is cocked after each shot by the rearward movement
of the bolt carrier, the Disconnect engages the hammer to
hold it rearward until the trigger is released. When the
trigger is released, retention of the hammer passes from the
Disconnect to the sear surface of the trigger ready for the
next shot.
