Owner’s Manual 2009

Various exposed metal parts of this rifle have been coated at the factory
with a rust preventative compound. Before using the rifle, clean the anti-
rust compound from the inside of the barrel, receiver, bolt and the action/
chamber areas with a high-quality, lightweight gun oil as explained in
Section 18.1.
If your rifle is to be stored, it is acceptable to leave the rust preventative
compound on the rifle and keep it in its original packaging. Never fire the
rifle upon purchase without cleaning it first. If the rifle contains hardened
grease or other substances that you cannot remove, have the rifle checked
by your dealer or departmental armorer.
For law enforcement and military personnel, refer to the procedures of
your department.
9. OPERATION OF THE “SAFETY”
ALWAYS KEEP THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION
UNLESS SHOOTING IS IMMINENT. ALWAYS KEEP THE
MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
The FNAR rifle utilizes a “safety” located on the trigger guard just rearward
of the trigger. (Figure 2). This location is easily manipulated with the index
finger of either hand. With the “safety” pushed completely to the right, the
With cartridges in the magazine and chamber, and the “safety” in the off
safe position, the rifle will fire a single round with each successive pull of
the trigger until the magazine and chamber are empty. When the last round
has been fired, the bolt will lock in the rearmost, open position. This allows
fast, convenient reloading.
