Manual

Always unload a firearm

before cleaning, lubrication,

disassembly or assembly.

UNLOAD BEFORE CLEAN-

ING

The .22 Magnum rimfire cartridge fires when the

firing pin impacts the relatively soft cartridge case

rim, and also can be “discharged” before it is cham-

bered if its rim receives a sharp blow. If a cartridge

hangs up, jams, or binds when being chambered or

when being fed from the magazine into the cham-

ber, do not attempt to force it into the chamber by

pushing or striking the bolt. Any jam or feeding

problem is a signal to immediately stop using the

gun until it can be determined what is wrong. Most

failures of a cartridge to feed or to chamber are

caused by a damaged magazine, improper gun han-

dling, or defective ammunition. Whatever the

cause, rimfire cartridge jams can result in the

potentially dangerous situation of a cartridge dis-

charging before it is chambered. If this occurs, the

cartridge case will rupture and fragments will fly

out of the gun with sufficient force to cause injury.

Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protec-

tors! Keep face away from chamber!

Make Sure Rifle is Unloaded Prior To Disassembly!

1. KEEP THE RIFLE POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION! REMOVE THE MAGA-

ZINE, OPEN THE BOLT AND VISUALLY MAKE CERTAIN THERE IS NO CAR-

TRIDGE IN THE CHAMBER. Then allow the bolt to close. The rear sight leaf

should be down, and the hammer should be cocked.
