death to the shooter and bystanders, as well
as damage to the firearm.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-
MOVE A LODGED BULLET OR ANY
OTHER OBSTRUCTION BY USING A
BLANK CARTRIDGE, OR A CARTRIDGE
WITH THE BULLET REMOVED, OR BY
ANY MEANS OTHER THAN THE USE OF
THE PROPER SIZE CLEANING ROD
(WITHOUT A TIP OR BRUSH) AND
REASONABLE FORCE APPLIED TO THE
ROD. BE CERTAIN ALL LOOSE POWDER
HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BORE
AND ACTION BEFORE INTRODUCING THE
ROD INTO THE BORE.
Failure to Feed: This occurs when a
cartridge has been fed from a magazine but
not fully chambered. If this occurs, keep the
firearm pointed in a safe direction, lock the bolt
back, remove that cartridge, release the bolt
and continue shooting. If necessary, change
the magazine or ammunition type. The most
common causes are dirt or foreign objects
impeding the magazine follower. Improperly or
loosely crimped cartridges are another
common cause.
Failure to Eject or Extract: A fired case is not
fully extracted from the chamber or ejected
from the pistol. Again, keep the firearm pointed
in a safe direction, clear the gun by operating
the bolt and locking it back, remove the case
and continue. If necessary, change the
magazine. The most common causes are a
damaged extractor, ejector, or ammunition.
Improperly loaded or sized cartridges can also
cause this. If any of the above problems are
not solved by cleaning or by use of other
brands of ammunition, stop firing, unload and
return the firearm to our service department.
Firing
With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and
your finger outside the trigger guard, take aim
at a safe target, disengage the safety and
squeeze the trigger until a round is fired.
Release the trigger and you are ready to fire
another round. Upon firing, the bolt moves
rearward extracting and ejecting the fired
round and returns to the forward position
feeding another round automatically. This
sequence can be repeated until the last round
has been fired. The firearm does not have an
automatic bolt stop so the bolt will not lock back
after the last round in the magazine is fired.
Lock the bolt back manually by pulling the
operating handle back and holding it, then
press and hold up on the bolt stop and slowly
release the bolt handle. Remove the empty
magazine by pressing the magazine catch
located on the right side of the receiver and
pull out the empty magazine. To continue
shooting simply insert a full magazine into the
magazine well, while holding the magazine
catch in, firmly push the magazine up and
release the magazine catch. The magazine
should lock into place. Pull back and release
the operating handle to release the bolt stop
and feed the next round. The rifle is now ready
to fire.
INTRODUCTION
The PLR-22 pistol and SU-22 rifle are semi-
automatic firearms chambered for the .22 Long
Rifle (.22LR) cartridge. They will accept most
standard Atchison style M-16 .22LR conver-
sion magazines.
CONSTRUCTION
The receiver and grip are made of an impact
resistant glass reinforced Zytel. The receiver
has a metal insert molded into the front to
accept the barrel and the serial number. A
MIL-STD-1913 picatinny rail is integrated into
the top of the receiver to allow for attach-
ments.
The firing mechanism is of conventional single
action type. It has a push bolt safety that
blocks the trigger. The muzzle end of the barrel
is threaded with a 1/2-28 inch thread to accept
standard attachments such as a muzzle brake.
With the firearm unloaded, chamber clear, and
safety on, simply unscrew the knurled thread
protector to expose the thread. Apply no more
than 20 ft-lbs of torque to these threads.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Safety
To achieve operator safety, combined with
ease of handling, the PLR-22 pistol’s and SU-
22 rifle’s manual safety, when applied,
positively blocks the trigger from rotating the
sear. The safety can be applied at any time,
whether the hammer is cocked or not. Only
when the red ring on the safety is fully
obscured is the safety engaged.
Obviously the safest condition of the pistol is
unloaded. Also considering unauthorized
operation, other modes of storing or carrying
will gradually improve readiness at the cost of
safety.
Malfunctioning
Proper function of your firearm is directly
related to maintenance and care, and to the
ammunition you use. Some of the more
common types of malfunctions which may
occur are as follows:
Misfire: A failure to fire or an unusual sound
upon firing is always a signal to cease firing
and immediately examine the bore of the
firearm. It is not sufficient to just pull the
operating handle back and examine the
chamber. You must remove the magazine, clear
the chamber, lock the bolt open and inspect the
bore visually - and with a rod if necessary - to
be certain it is completely clear of any
obstruction. Failure to detect and remove a
bore obstruction can result in serious injury or
