continue to fire the rifle in this manner until the magazine is empty by
pulling the trigger to fire each cartridge.

the open position so that you may visually inspect the chamber, barrel
and magazine to be sure they contain no cartridges.
AFTER FIRING, OR WHEN SHOOTING IS NO LONGER
IMMINENT, IMMEDIATELY PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON
SAFE POSITION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
EVEN WITH THE BOLT OPEN AFTER SHOOTING, DO NOT
ASSUME THE RIFLE IS UNLOADED. ALWAYS INSPECT THE
CHAMBER, BARREL, FEED MECHANISM AND MAGAZINE TO
BE CERTAIN THE RIFLE IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
