Manual

CARRYING:
The MAGNUM BFR may be carried with all chambers loaded.
When the hammer and trigger are fully toward at the same
time, the transfer bar is lowered out of firing position and the
hammer rests directly on the frame, not on the firing pin. See
Handling Warning.
Do not load the revolver until you are ready to use it. NEVER
CARRY ANY REVOLVER WITH THE HAMMER COCKED OR WITH
THE TRIGGER HELD TO THE REAR.
If the trigger is held to the rear, the gun can fire if the hammer
strikes the transfer bar. Note that it need not be a deliberate
effort to pull the trigger. Any situation where the trigger
attains its rearward position and permits the transfer bar to be
interposed between the hammer and the pin can cause the
cartridge under the firing pin to discharge if the hammer falls
or is struck.
NEVER DROP OR STRIKE ANY REVOLVER- COCKED OR
UNCOCKED- OR CARRY OR HANDLE A REVOLVER
IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE HAMMER WILL BE STRUCK.
TO LOAD AND FIRE:
NOTE: The loading gate cannot be opened unless the
hammer and trigger are fully forward.
1. Open the gate.
2. Turn the cylinder clockwise, by hand, and insert cartridges
into chambers.
3. Close gate. The revolver is now in its normal carrying
condition- hammer and trigger fully forward and transfer
bar lowered out of firing position.
4. The revolver is now ready to be fired. Keep the muzzle
pointed in a safe direction. To fire the revolver, the hammer
must first be manually cocked and then the trigger must be
squeezed. That sequence must take place to fire each shot.
WARNING: When cocking the hammer, have a firm hold on
the grip with the shooting hand. DO NOT TOUCH THE
TRIGGER WHILE COCKING THE HAMMER. TOUCH THE
TRIGGER ONLY WHEN YOU ARE READY TO FIRE.
COCKING: With the fore portion of the thumb firmly on the
hammer spur, draw the hammer fully to the rear until it stops.
Then permit the hammer to move forward until the trigger
engages in the hammer at full cock.
FIRING: Once the hammer has been cocked, a light pressure
on the trigger will disengage the trigger from the hammer.
The hammer will fall forward and the revolver will fire.
CAUTION: Recoil of any center fire caliber causes the muzzle
of the gun to flip upward with substantial force.
