Manual

with cartridges: this can cause dangerous malfunction. Be sure your ammunition is the
proper caliber for your gun: you will find the proper caliber permanently engraved on the
gun. Do not use any other caliber ammunition.
2. Reloading ammunition is a science, and improperly loaded ammunition can cause severe
damage to your gun, and serious injury to both the shooter and other persons. Use
ammunition approved by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute,
Inc, of the United States (SAAMI). All warranties are void if you use reloaded,
“remanufactured”, hand-loaded, or other non-standard ammunition.
3. Excessive pressure inside the chamber or the barrel can cause severe damage to the gun
and serious injury to the shooter. This can be caused by obstructions in the barrel,
propellant powder overloads, or the use of incorrect, improperly assembled, dirty,
corroded, or damaged cartridges.
4. Stop shooting IMMEDIATELY and check the barrel for obstructions if:
-you have difficulty chambering a cartridge or feel unusual resistance.
-a cartridge does not go off (misfires)
-a fired cartridge case is not extracted
-you see unburned grains of powder in the mechanism
-a shot sounds abnormal or weak.
These conditions may be caused by a bullet lodged part way down the barre. DO NOT fire
another bullet into the obstructed barrel, as this may damage the gun and cause serious
injury to bath the shooter and bystanders.
5. Bullets lodged in the barrel can be caused by:
-the cartridge being improperly loaded without propellant powder, or the powder failing
to ignite, (ignition of the cartridge primer without powder will push the bullet out of the
cartridge case, but usually is not sufficient to expel the bullet from the gun barrel).
-a bullet that is not sealed tightly in its cartridge case, if a cartridge with a loose bullet is
removed from the chamber without being fired, the bullet may remain in the barrel.
Putting another cartridge in the chamber can push the first bullet farter into the barrel.
6. If you suspect that a bullet is obstructing the barrel, unload the gun immediately, and look
through the bore. Do not merely look in the chamber as the bullet may be lodged further
down the barrel where it cannot be seen easily. IF A BULLET IS OBSTRUCTING THE
BARREL, DO NOT TRY TO SHOOT IT OUT WITH ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, A
BLANK CARTRIDGE, OR A CARTRIDGE WITH THE BULLET REMOVED. THIS
MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND DAMGE THE GUN, AND CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY TO THE SHOOTER AND OTHERS. Dislodge the bullet by
tapping it with a cleaning rod, then clean any unburned powder grains from the chamber,
mechanism, and bore before firing again. If tapping with a cleaning rod does not
dislodge the bullet, it is necessary to have a gunsmith remove it.
7. Dirty, corroded, oily, damaged, or deformed cartridges may not be chambered
completely, and the cartridge case may burst when fired.
8. Wipe oil or preservative form the chamber before beginning to shoot, and do not oil
cartridges. Oil interferes with the necessary friction between the cartridge case and the
chamber wall. This causes stress similar to excessive pressure.
9. Do not use too much lubricant on the moving parts of your gun. Do not spray aerosol
gun care products where they may come in contact with ammunition, and do not spray
