Manual

1
The instructions in this shaded section
apply to the 70PSS only. The rest of this
manual applies to all models.
How to Assemble the 70PSS
The 70PSS was shipped “taken-down” in
two parts. The stock, action and maga-
zine comprise one part, the barrel the
other (See 1).
Match the flat surface on the rear (chamber)
end of the barrel with the flat surface in the
front end of the receiver, and insert the barrel
into the receiver as far as it will go. (See 2).
Turn the knurled takedown nut clockwise
with your fingers until tight. If you are going
to shoot extensively, tighten the nut
securely with the spanner wrench (provid-
ed), or a coin (See 3).
• WARNING: Check the takedown nut fre-
quently to be sure it remains tight. If it
loosens, the rifle may not fire.
To disassemble the 70PSS for reinsertion
into its case, reverse the above instructions.
Transportation and Storage
Instructions for the 70PSS
If your 70PSS will be subjected to rough
handling while in its case, we recommend
that you use the foam insert provided, for
maximum protection.
Do not store the 70PSS in its case for long
periods of time, since moisture can be
trapped and condense inside, causing rust
or corrosion. For long term storage, it
should be lightly oiled and kept in a dry,
ventilated area, under lock and key.
Before You Use This Firearm
It is very important that you read and
understand this manual before using your
firearm. Warnings should be read and
heeded carefully. Also follow “Marlin's
Guide to Gun Safety”, in this manual.
• WARNING: Marlin firearms are designed
and manufactured to handle standard
factory-loaded ammunition which con-
forms to SAAMI (Sporting Arms and
Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute Inc.)
standards with dependability and safety.
Due to the many bullet and load options
available, the element of judgement
involved, the skill required, and the fact
that serious injuries have resulted from
dangerous handloads, Marlin does not
make any recommendations with regard
to handloaded ammunition.
• WARNING: It is a violation of federal law
to alter or deface the serial number of
any firearm.
• WARNING: Your rifle was shipped com-
pletely assembled (except the 70PSS)
and should not be used or disassembled
without fully reading and understanding
the instructions in this Owner's Manual.
