ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

Warning

Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or

handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other

substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other

serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands

thoroughly after exposure.

Operation of Your Firearm

Warning

These firearms have a “transfer bar” firing mechanism. This means that

when the hammer is in the fully forward (rest) position, and the trigger

is released, there is no mechanical contact between the face of the

hammer and the rear of the firing pin. When carrying the firearm, the

safety lever should be “on” and the hammer resting on the safety

intercept bar.

When the hammer is manually pulled back to its rearmost position (full-

cocked), the transfer bar moves up and is positioned between the face of

the hammer and the rearmost portion of the firing pin so that when the

hammer is released from the fully-cocked position by pulling the trigger,

the face of the hammer will strike the transfer bar which, in turn, strikes

the firing pin which fires the shot shell or cartridge. When the trigger is

released, the transfer bar drops down leaving a space between the face of

the hammer and the rearmost face of the firing pin.

THESE FIREARMS ARE DESIGNED SO THAT THE BARREL AND CHAMBER

CANNOT BE EITHER OPENED OR CLOSED WHEN THE FIREARM IS FULLY

COCKED. ATTEMPTING TO FORCE THE CHAMBER OPEN OR CLOSED

WILL DAMAGE YOUR FIREARM AND MAY RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL DEATH

OR SERIOUS INJURY.
