Manual

Death, serious injury, and damage

can result from the use of wrong

ammunition, bore obstructions,

powder overloads, or incorrect car-

tridge components. Even the

strongest gun can be blown up by

excess pressure. Only use correct

ammunition loaded to U.S. Industry

Standards. Always wear shooting

glasses and hearing protectors.

IMPROPER AMMUNITION

DESTROYS GUNS

Keep the safety on unless actually firing.

Always move the safety fully to its intended

position and check it. The safety has two

positions –“SAFE” (also used for loading and

unloading) and “FIRE.” The safety is not on

“SAFE” until it is “clicked” fully rearward

and the word “SAFE” is fully visible. Never

depend on a safety mechanism or any other

mechanical device to justify careless han-

dling or permitting the rifle to point in an

unsafe direction. The only “safe” rifle is one

in which the breech block is open and the

chamber is empty.
