Note:
• The sling attachments must also be cleaned
regularly and their locking mechanism oiled.
• So-called "water stains" on the stock after rain
cannot be avoided. Dependent on the dust and
dirt particle content of the rain this
phenomenon is stronger or weaker. It is not a
defect in the stock finish.
• No oil or grease film is required for the plug-in
attachment between the barrel and magazine
to function properly. However, this area must
be protected well against corrosion in order to
ensure easy dismantling even after longer
periods of rest for the rifle. As corrosion
protection for the inside radius of the magazine
tube and the rear part of the barrel inserted
into it non-resin oils or grease with a high level
of corrosion protection are suitable (e.g.
SAUER Premium gun grease). After oiling or
greasing and following the reaction time
specified by the manufacturer the substance
must be removed again by polishing to prevent
impeding the proper action of the plug-in
attachment.
12 Dealing with problems
12.1 Cause and correction of malfunctions
Gun maintenance (cleaning and inspection)
according to the instructions can prevent
malfunctions.
Should, nevertheless, a malfunction occur during
shooting, proceed as follows:
Procedure:
1. Remove magazine and unload the gun
(see section 5.8.1).
2. Open the bolt.
– The cartridge or cartridge case is pulled out
of the barrel chamber and ejected.
3. Check that no bullet, round, cartridge case or
foreign matter is in the barrel chamber or
barrel. If a projectile is lodged in the bore, strip
the gun (see Section 7) and have the blockage
removed with a suitable tool by a qualified
gunsmith.
4. Remove all rounds, cases or foreign bodies.
Clean, lubricate and assemble the gun
(see Section 11 and 8).
5. Have the gun inspected by an armourer or
gunsmith.
WARNING!
Uncontrolled discharge of shot
May lead to death or severe injuries
• Hold the gun pointed in the firing direction
(safe direction) and keep your finger off the
trigger while you carry out the steps
described below.
