6. Keeping fingers away from the ejection port and
muzzle pointing in a safe direction, press in on the top
of the thumb piece of the bolt catch. This will release
the bolt carrier group to move forward and feed a
round from the magazine into the chamber. THE
FIREARM IS NOW LOADED WITH A ROUND IN THE
CHAMBER AND THE HAMMER IS COCKED.
7. You may now close the ejection port dust cover if you
wish; it is located on the right hand side of the upper
receiver and will open automatically when the first
round is fired.
! CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE YOUR FIREARM COCKED AND
LOCKED, READY TO FIRE WITHOUT SELECTOR LEVER BEING
SET TO SAFE, as this is the Fire Condition and is extremely
dangerous. Firearms can easily be accidentally discharged,
causing injury, death or damage to property.
! WARNING: THIS FIREARM MAY DISCHARGE ACCIDENTALLY
WHEN A ROUND IS FED INTO THE CHAMBER, IF IT IS
DROPPED OR RECEIVES A BLOW TO THE MUZZLE OR FRONT
OF THE FIREARM. (This can occur regardless of the position
of the hammer or any of the various safety devices.)
Therefore, extra care and strict adherence to these
instructions by the firearm’s user is mandatory for minimizing
the risk of accidents.
