LOADING THE RIFLE
Make sure the rifle is pointed in a safe direction and the safety is engaged at all times while loading
the rifle.
NEVER allow your fingers or other objects to contact the trigger while loading or unloading the rifle.
Do NOT disengage the safety until you are ready to fire and have the rifle pointed safely downrange.
1. Ensure that the selector is in the “SAFE” position. (Photo 23-A)
2. With the bullets facing forward, insert loaded magazine into magazine well and push
it in until it stops and is retained by the magazine catch. Tap the bottom of the
magazine in an upward motion to ensure that the magazine is seated tight.
