OPERATION OF SAFETY

The RUGER

MODEL 10/22

MAGNUM has a cross-button safety which

is located in the forward portion of the trigger guard (Figure 1). The safety can be

operated only when the hammer is cocked.

The safety is “on” when it protrudes fully from the right side (the bolt handle

side) of the trigger guard assembly, as shown in Figure 1. In this position the

sear is blocked, and the gun cannot be fired from a normal pull on the trigger.

The safety should always be in the “on” (safe) position except when the shooter is

actually firing the gun. The safety should be moved to the “on” position whenever

the shooter ceases firing, even temporarily.

All models include the following features with which the gun user should be

thoroughly familiar.

Figure 1. In these illustrations the frequently used operating components are identified.

Note that the safety is protruding fully from the right side of the trigger guard and is there-

fore in its “on” (safe) position.
