Made In America and Priced Right
ammunition in the appropriate caliber but not all ammunition produces the same result. Henry RAC
recommends that after you read and understand this manual, you go to the range and fire different ammunition
which is appropriate to the caliber of your firearm. Once you find the
ammunition which functions best, keep
using it. Especially when cutting-edge reliability and accuracy are vital to you. When sighting your rifle, shoot
a group to determine point of impact on the target. Then make incremental adjustments to center the point of
impact on the target bullseye.
WARNING: DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS OR HANDLING
AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD, A SUBSTANCE KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS,
REPRODUCTIVE HARM AND OTHER SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES.
WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE.
CAUTION: Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: YOU MUST BECOME
THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH KNOWING HOW TO PLACE THE
HAMMER INTO THE SAFETY POSITION WITH THE TRIGGER
LOCKED. YOU MUST PRACTICE THIS PROCEDURE SEVERAL
TIMES WITH AN UNLOADED RIFLE TO BECOME THOROUGHLY
FAMILIAR WITH IT.
WARNING: If you have little or no experience in the safe handling
of firearm, we strongly urge that you take a firearms safety course
from an NRA certified instructor or someone with equivalent
qualifications. You can contact the NRA Firearms Education and
Safety Division at 703-267-1470 for the name of an instructor in your
ar
ea.
YOU MUST BECOME THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE
FOLLOWING PROCEDURE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS FIREARM UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO
PLACE THE HAMMER IN THE SAFETY POSITION.
HOW TO PLACE THE HAMMER IN THE SAFETY POSITION.
There are two ways to set the hammer into the Safety position. With the gun
pointed in a safe direction and the hammer in the fired (down) position, (Figure A-
3), cock the hammer back slightly, about 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch, until you feel
and hear the hammer click into the Safety position (Figure A-2). The hammer will
now be
locked into the Safety position and if you pull the trigger to fire, the hammer
should not fall.
The second way to set the safety is from the Full-Cock position (Figure A-1). Firmly hold the hammer back with
your thumb. While holding the hammer, apply just enough pressure on the trigger to release the hammer from the
Full-Cock position. Remove
your finger from the trigger very quickly, and slowly lower the hammer into the Safety
position.
