. Safety and warranty notes 1. Foreword We are pleased that you have chosen an FNH USA Tactical Sporting Rifle XP (TSR XP). Based on sound firearm design, the TSR XP stands for the highest level of reliability, consistent accuracy, functional design and provides the operating precision and safety expected from an FNH USA firearm. Like all firearms, if handled in a careless or reckless manner the TSR XP can be very dangerous.
. Firearm SAFETY INFORMATION your firearm’s muzzle in an unsafe direction. See Section 9 for instructions on the operation of this firearm’s “safety.” Failure to follow any of the following warnings could result in serious injury or death. Remember, safe gun handling does not stop with your firearm’s mechanical “safety” devices, it starts there. Always treat this firearm with the respect due a loaded, ready-to-fire firearm. As a firearm owner, you accept a set of demanding responsibilities.
Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles. Allow proper distance (eye relief) between a scope and your eye when firing a scoped rifle or shotgun. Do not use unorthodox shooting methods that could cause the rearward travel of the slide or bolt of a firearm to contact your eyes, face or hands. Always keep a safe distance between the muzzle of your firearm and any persons nearby, as muzzle blast, debris and ejecting shells could inflict serious injury.
If the primer is not indented, your firearm should be examined by a qualified gunsmith and the cause of the malfunction corrected before further use. Glance down the barrel to make sure that there are no obstructions in the barrel. If there is an obstruction, completely clear the barrel before loading and firing again. Failure to follow these instructions can cause extensive damage to your firearm and possible serious injury to yourself and others.
20 BE CERTAIN your firearm is UNLOADED BEFORE CLEANING. Because so many gun accidents occur when a firearm is being cleaned, special and extreme care should be taken to be sure your firearm is unloaded before disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. Keep ammunition away from the cleaning location. Never test the mechanical function of any firearm with live ammunition. 25 We reserve the right to refuse service on firearms that have been altered, added to or substantially changed.

6. Nomenclature In conventional firearm terminology the position and movement of firearm parts are described as they occur with the firearm horizontal and in the normal firing position: i.e., the muzzle is forward or in front; the buttstock is rearward or to the rear; the trigger is downward or underneath; the sight is upward or on top. For general parts nomenclature, refer to Figure 1. FIGURE 4 FIGURE 5 FIGURE 6 The location of the fixed, blade ejector. Lubricate the CRF bolt at these locations.
• Along the breech bolt surface and where the sleeve contacts the breech bolt (Figure 7). • Along the breech bolt surfaces on the receiver where the bolt contacts the receiver as it is worked. (Figure 8, page 15). • Inside the receiver, on the locking lug raceways, where the bolt contacts the receiver when cycled (Figure 8, page 15). Avoid applying too much oil. Only a light film is necessary. Excessive oil should be wiped off, especially in cold weather. 9.
At all times, keep the “safety” in the on safe position and the barrel pointed in a safe direction. It is advisable to never load your rifle until you are in the field, at the location you intend to begin hunting or you are at your bench on a range and it is clear to shoot. For extra safety on a range, and as a courtesy to others, fully unload the rifle and keep the action in the open position at all times other than when it is clear to shoot.
The bolt has been carefully selected and fitted at the factory to assure correct headspace. The bolt is etched with your rifle’s serial number for identification purposes. Never interchange bolts, as they may not have the proper head space. If the bolt is lost or damaged, return the rifle to the factory for replacement with a properly fitted bolt. 11.
.1. Loading rifles with an internal Magazine (FLP) FIGURE 15 These instructions apply only to TSR XP rifles with internal, hinged floorplate (FLP) magazines. 1. With the “safety” in the intermediate position, lift the bolt handle and pull the bolt completely rearward (Figure 15). 2. Lay a cartridge on top of the magazine follower just forward of the bolt. Press the cartridge down with your thumb until it snaps into the magazine (Figure 16). 3.
Do not attempt to force the cartridge base down between the wave-shaped steps at the front of the lips on the magazine body, as this can damage the magazine. 4. Repeat by pressing the base of another cartridge down on the previous cartridge, just forward of the magazine lips, sliding the cartridge under the lips and fully rearward. Use your other hand to push down slightly on the rear of the cartridge already in the magazine. Do this until the magazine is fully loaded. 13.3.
13.6. Loading the Rifle to Full Capacity (DBM) 1. With the “safety” in the intermediate position, lift the bolt handle and pull the bolt completely rearward. 2. Load the magazine to capacity as explained previously. 3. When shooting is imminent, insert the magazine into the rifle. 4. Close the bolt. This loads a cartridge directly into the chamber. Immediately place the “safety” in the rearward, on safe position. 2.
15. Unloading when unloading your rifle Always place the “safety” in the intermediate position. keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your fingers away from the trigger. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death. 5. Carefully reposition the magazine follower and magazine spring back into the magazine opening. Close the hinged magazine cover and make sure it snaps into place. 6. Recheck the chamber to assure it contains no cartridge.
Notice! Attempting to adjust the trigger will affect the stock bedding and affect the accuracy when the barrelled action is removed. Trigger adjustments should be performed by an FNH USA Certified TSR XP Armorer. 17.

that the cleaning rod does not strike the crown of the muzzle, as damage to this area can affect the accuracy of your rifle. 18.2. Bolt Maintenance If, or when, fouling should become heavy, it can be removed with a brass bore brush. Dip or spray the brush with nitro solvent and scrub the chamber and bore until the fouling is removed. To prevent brass bristles from breaking off, the brush should be pushed completely through the barrel before being withdrawn.
FIGURE 24 Should the “safety” be inadvertently put in the forward (fire) position with the firing pin removed, the firing pin will be released forward and locked in the forward position. This makes reassembling the firing pin into the breech bolt somewhat more difficult. FIGURE 25 Bolt Sleeve Lock Press the bolt sleeve lock. Unscrew the bolt sleeve. Do not disassemble the bolt beyond this point. 2. Place the “safety” in the intermediate position. 3.
