the barrel indicates the setting in use. (See Fig.2j) The shape of the

regulator is an irregular ellipse to allow the shooter to determine

the active position by touch. Learn the shape of the regulator by

remembering the protuberant feature of the knob in relation to a

landmark on the weapon.

CAUTION: The gas regulator and gas block will be

one of the hottest parts of the weapon during

ring. The regulator knob CAN BE HOT ENOUGH

TO BURN YOUR HAND.

Closed setting cuts o all gas from the piston system so the weapon

will not cycle when red. This setting is typically used when it is

necessary to “palm” or retain expended cartridges and/or when

absolute noise control is a necessity by eliminating the sound of the

action cycling. Typically this is used with subsonic ammunition. This

setting should be used sparingly as your regulator will become hard

to turn if you re extensively in closed

CAUTION: Always check to make sure the gas

regulator is on the correct setting before

operational use.

Suppressed setting is used in conjunction with Sound Suppressors

to reduce gas backpressure caused by the suppressor. Some

suppressors create more backpressure than others and therefore

you may not need to use the suppressed setting with your particular

suppressor. If on the Suppressed setting your weapon demonstrates

signs of being under-gassed (failure to extract, failure to lock back on

an empty magazine) then run your rie on the N-Normal setting.

NOTE: Always follow the instructions supplied by the suppres-

sor manufacturer for installing the suppressor and suppressor

mount.

controls on both left (Fig 17) and right (Fig 25) sides of the Lower

Receiver. They are used to release the Bolt Carrier Group from the

locked open position or to lock the Bolt Carrier Group back when

there is a lled magazine or no magazine loaded in the Magazine

Well. This is done by depressing the lower portion of either Bolt

Catch/Release while retracting the Charging Handle all the way to

the rear. Return the Charging Handle to the forward position after.

CAUTION: Releasing the Bolt Catch with a loaded

Magazine will load the weapon.
