Do maintain and keep your gun clean. Keep in a dry place away from other metals
and water. If your gun shows sign of corrosion or improper operation, have it
serviced by a competent gunsmith.
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction when loading and unloading your
gun. Never point the muzzle at anyone.
Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water....bullets ricochet.
If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the
target for 60 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause a “hang fire”
and the cartridge will go off after a short pause. If it still fails to fire, keep muzzle
pointed in safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as you attempt to
unload your firearm.
Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Always be sure the
barrel is free of any obstruction.
Since many ammunition identifications sound similar, be sure that you use only
the correct ammunition for your gun. Do NOT use the wrong size or wrong
strength ammunition in your firearm.
Repeated and prolonged exposure to gunfire may cause toxic levels of lead in
your body. High levels of lead in the blood may result cancer, impotency, birth
defects and other serious physical injury. When shooting indoors, make sure
there is proper fresh air ventilation.
Teach children: 1. NOT to touch guns, bullets, cartridges, shells, flares or any
explosive device and 2. If they discovery such a dangerous item or weapon, they
must immediately report its location to their parents, school teacher and police.
Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of someone
else. Be careful with your firearm -- an accident is almost always the result of not
following basic safety rules.

USED FIREARMS - If you got your European American Armory firearm as a
used gun, BEFORE USING IT you should unload it and check all its functions
to be sure it works correctly. Firearms are some times altered to work
incorrectly, or parts may be removed, lost or replaced with incorrect parts. First,
unload it and check it yourself and then take it to a good gunsmith who knows
European American Armory firearms, and have him examine it.
WRITE US concerning any items or circumstances which you don’t understand
and which might relate to your safety and the operation of your firearm.
