UNLOAD BEFORE
CLEANING
The .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridge fires when the
firing pin impacts the relatively soft cartridge case
rim, and also can be “discharged” before it is
chambered 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 chamber, 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 handling, or defective ammunition.
Whatever the cause, rimfire cartridge jams can
result in the potentially dangerous situation of a
cartridge discharging before it is chambered. If this
occurs, the cartridge case will rupture and its
fragments will fly out of the gun with sufficient
force to cause injury. Always wear shooting glasses
and hearing protectors! Keep face away from
chamber!
