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.
Throughout this owner’s manual the “action” refers to the mechanism of
this rifle which loads and secures the cartridges in the chamber.
7. SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number is located on the right side of the receiver, just forward
of the loading/ejection port. Record the serial number at the front of this
owner’s manual for future reference.
8. INITIAL CLEANING AND OILING
WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN ASSEMBLING AND
DISASSEMBLING YOUR RIFLE TO PREVENT SPRINGS,
SPRING-LOADED PARTS, SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS
FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN INJURY.
Some metal parts of your new firearm have been coated at the factory
with a rust preventative compound. Before using your firearm, clean the
anti-rust compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, bolt mechanism
and the action/chamber areas. A high quality, lightweight gun oil should
be used to remove this compound and to give your new firearm its
first lubrication.
Clean the barrel using a cleaning rod
and patch as explained under
“Cleaning and Maintenance
Suggestions” found in Section 18.1.
Apply a few drops of quality oil on the
following surfaces:
• On the extractor guide groove
(Figures 5 and 6) and extractor
ring groove where the extractor
rotates around the bolt sleeve
(Figure 5).
• On the back side of the
two locking lugs of the bolt
(Figures 5 and 6).
• On the bolt slot where the
ejector passes (Figures 5
and 6).
• Along the striker assembly/
firing pin where the bolt sleeve
threads into the bolt body
(Figure 7).
Lubricate at these locations.
