Owner’s Manual 2009

12 13
All operations of the rifle in this owner’s manual are illustrated using a
right-hand TSR XP or TSR XP USA (where applicable).
Prior to using live ammunition, familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
operating instructions in this owner’s manual. Get accustomed to the feel
of your new firearm and know the forces required to operate the action.
Learn how to pull the trigger and, above all, know the location and
operation of the “safety.” Procedures for disassembly and operation of
various components are outlined later in this owner’s manual. Please
read and study them thoroughly.
cartridge from the magazine and loads it into the chamber for firing. When
the trigger is pulled, the firing pin strikes the primer of the cartridge,
resulting in the rifle firing. During the rearward movement of the bolt,
the empty cartridge case is ejected out of the ejection port.
TSR XP rifles (except TSR XP USA, 223 Rem.) feature proven Controlled
Round Feed (CRF) with a claw extractor (Figure 2). The extractor secures
approximately ¼ of the cartridge base and fully controls the cartridge as it
enters the chamber. This design also allows the cartridge to be extracted
even if it is not fully chambered. The Controlled Round Push Feed (CRPF) bolt
design in the TSR XP USA, 223 Rem., like the Controlled Round Feed bolt,
securely captures the base of the cartridge when chambering for a straight
shot into the chamber, protecting the bullet point (Figure 3). It also allows
for easy extraction, even if the cartridge is not fully chambered. However, like
a push feed design, the CRPF extractor easily rides over the cartridge rim for
direct-to-the-chamber loading.
A fixed blade ejector gives more control over cartridge ejection (Figure 4).
Unlike plunger-style ejectors, the blade system allows you to vary the amount
of ejection force. Pull sharply rearward on the bolt and the cartridge ejects
clear of the rifle. Pull the bolt back slowly and easily remove the cartridge
from the action.
