Manual

Firing a rifle with oil, grease, or any other material

even partially obstructing the bore may result in

damage to the rifle and serious injury to the

shooter and those nearby. Do not spray or apply

lubricants directly on ammunition. If the powder

of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant, it may

not be ignited, but the primer firing may push the

bullet into the bore where it may be lodged. Firing

a subsequent bullet into the obstructed bore may

damage the rifle and cause serious injury or death

to the shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants

properly. You are responsible for the proper care

and maintenance of your firearms.

IMPROPER LUBRICATION

DESTROYS GUNS

4. NOTE: Only a light application of oil is needed to provide adequate lubrication

of moving parts and to prevent rust. Excess accumulations of oil tend to

attract particles of dust and dirt and may congeal in cold weather which can

interfere with the safe and reliable functioning of the rifle.

WARNING –LUBRICATION

OIL

STORAGE

GUNS SHOULD NOT BE STORED LOADED!

Do not store the rifle in a leather case or scabbard. Leather attracts moisture,

even though it may appear to be dry.

TO RENDER THE RIFLE INOPERATIVE FOR SAFE STORAGE

With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, remove the magazine, open the bolt,

and check the chamber to be sure the rifle is completely unloaded! Loosen barrel

band screw and slide barrel band forward off stock. Unscrew, but do not remove,

takedown screw on underside of stock. Move safety button to centered position

and carefully lift barrel/receiver assembly out of the stock. Drift out receiver

cross pins to the left and remove trigger housing assembly. Reassemble rifle

without trigger housing assembly, which contains most of the firing mechanism.

Store the rifle and the trigger housing assembly in different locations. When

disassembled in this manner, the rifle is inoperable. It is impossible to fire the

rifle until the trigger housing assembly has been correctly replaced into the rifle.

USE THE LOCKING DEVICE SUPPLIED WITH THE RIFLE FOR STORAGE.
