UNLOADING
SHOOTING
First, confirm the area behind the target is clear. Keeping the pistol
pointed "down-range", and your finger out of the trigger guard, hold
the pistol in your shooting hand while grasping the.
open toggle with your other hand. Pull back the tog-
gle as far as you can (it should
move about 1/8") and release.
Don't lower gently, allow it to go
forward under recoil spring pressure. The
toggle will cause the bolt to strip the first round
from the magazine and feed it into the chamber.
The pistol is now loaded with the safety in the on
position. Note the loaded chamber indicator. Push the
safety lever fully forward.
THE PISTOL IS NOW READY TO FIRE.
If you change your mind and do not wish to shoot, please be aware that the
pistol is now ready to
fire.
DO THE FOLLOWING:
1.) Put the safety lever in the SAFE position.
2.) Remove and unload the magazine.
3.) Grasp the toggle of the gun and draw them rearward smartly to eject the
round from the chamber.
4.) Replace the empty magazine into the pistol.
5.) Retract the toggle again to the rearward position and they will stay open.
Examine the action to be sure the gun is empty.
This pistol has what is referred to as a "two-stage" trigger which
means that you will have to take up the initial slack until you feel the
trigger tighten. The trigger should break cleanly at the second stage,
firing the pistol. The toggle joint remains locked until recoil forces the
barrel extension and bolt against an inclined surface in the frame
which causes the toggle to buckle upward in a hinge like action. This
opens the bolt, ejecting the spent case and cycling the action to load
the next round and cock the firing pin. This is repeated each time you
pull the trigger until the magazine is empty.
When you choose to stop shooting, leave the magazine out of the pistol and
lower the toggle (grasp the toggle, pull back to unlock then release). Note the
chamber indicator to see it does not protrude. Replace the empty magazine.
Verify the gun is empty. Swing the safety lever into the SAFE position. Be
sure to pick up any unused ammo and used casings.
CARE AND CLEANING
Any firearm is a precision instrument and requires cleaning and care to insure
its continued and safe function. After every shooting session, the pistol
should be cleaned and oiled thoroughly. Any good quality gun cleaner will do
nicely.
First be sure that the pistol is unloaded by removing the magazine and
checking the loaded chamber indicator. Replace the magazine and lock the
toggle in the open position. Then remove the magazine and set aside. This
will expose the bore as well as the toggle links.
When the magazine is empty, the follower button will engage the hold
open device. This will lock the action in the open position. The maga-
zine can be withdrawn for re-Ioading. The toggle will remain open until
manually released.
Using a good bore cleaner and a brass bristle brush, swab the bore. Dry with
cloth patches until no residue remains. The bolt face and magazine well can
be cleaned with a brush soaked in gun solvent and wiped clean. Ifthe gun is
not to be used immediately, apply a light coat of penetrating oil to the bore
and action, paying specific attention to the toggle link joints and the rails on
which the bolt rides. Apply a light coat of protective oil to all metal finishes.
Verify the chamber is empty. Release the toggle joint to close the bolt.
Engage the safety. Replace the empty magazine and store the pistol securely.
