Manual

Never place or store any firearm in such a

manner that it may be dislodged. Firearms

should always be stored securely and

unloaded, away from children and careless

adults. Use the locking device supplied with

the rifle for storage.

The use of a locking device or safety lock is

only one aspect of responsible firearms

storage. For increased safety, firearms should

be stored unloaded in a location that is both

separate from their ammunition and

inaccessible to children and any other

unauthorized person.

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

even though the case may appear to be perfectly 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 sur

e the rifle is completely unloaded! Loosen barrel

band screw and slide barrel band forward off 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 and

bolt. Reassemble rifle without trigger housing assembly and bolt, which contain

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 and bolt have been correctly replaced

into the rifle.

To reassemble the rifle for firing, remove the barrel/receiver assembly from the

stock as above and reinstall the trigger housing and bolt. Replace the receiver

cross pins to secure the trigger housing to the receiver. With the safety in the

centered position, carefully reinstall the barrel/receiver/trigger housing into the

stock. Check to be sure the bolt, lever, trigger, and safety mechanisms can be

operated fully and freely. The rifle is now reassembled and can be loaded and

fired normally.
