12. MAGAZINE CAPACITY
The magazine capacity of TSR XP and TSR XP USA rifles is listed below:
• TSR XP 308 Win. (DBM) : 4-rounds
• TSR XP 308 Win. (FLP) : 5-rounds
• TSR XP 300 WSM : 3-rounds
• TSR XP USA 223 Rem. : 6-rounds
• TSR XP USA 7.62x39mm : 5-rounds
It is extremely important that you know the magazine capacity of your rifle.
Under appropriate circumstances, at a range or other suitable shooting
location, load your magazine to full capacity and confirm the number of
cartridges. Remember, “total” capacity includes an additional round which
can be loaded in the chamber in addition to a full magazine.
13. LOADING
WHEN LOADING YOUR RIFLE ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION, ALWAYS PLACE THE
“SAFETY” IN THE INTERMEDIATE POSITION AND KEEP
YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT CARRY YOUR RIFLE WITH A CARTRIDGE IN THE
CHAMBER TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE. WHEN
FIRING IS NO LONGER IMMINENT, PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN
THE INTERMEDIATE POSITION AND UNLOAD THE CHAMBER.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
The TSR XP rifle is available with either an internal magazine with hinged
floorplate (FLP) or a detachable box magazine (DBM) system. Extra box
magazines are available from your dealer or through FNH USA. The total
magazine capacity of the TSR XP will vary with caliber and magazine type.
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. AMMUNITION
DO NOT USE AMMUNITION OTHER THAN WHAT IS
INSCRIBED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BARREL. EXAMINE
EVERY CARTRIDGE YOU PUT IN YOUR FIREARM.
DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS,
CLEANING FIREARMS OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY
RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER SUBSTANCES
KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM
AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY
AFTER HANDLING AMMUNITION.
The barrel and action of this rifle have been made with substantial safety
margins over the pressures developed by established American loads.
However, we assume no responsibility for incidents which occur through the
use of cartridges of nonstandard dimension or those developing pressures
in excess of SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’
Institute) established standards.
