6 Hand cocking
The SAUER 303 is equipped with a manual hand
cocker on the stock handle. This enables the
marksman to cock the lock of the gun right before
discharging a shot. In decocked condition the
mainspring is relaxed, it is impossible to fire a
shot.
Along with the manual hand cocker, to be
operated by the marksman, the SAUER 303
additionally has an internal firing pin safety lock
intraLock, which automatically activates if the
slide is not completely locked. Because of this a
discharged shot is impossible with a gun that is not
completely locked. The safety lock intraLock can
not be actively influenced by the marksman.
The cocking slide is found easily, both visually and
by touch, above on the handle of the stock. The
modern Silent Cocking System SCS allows the
cocking cycle to be made without making
disturbing noise.
6.1 Cocking the gun
Procedure:
1. Lay the thumb of the ribbed surface of the
cocking slide 116 so that the tip of the thumb
half covers the cocking slide pin 117
(see Fig. 15).
2. Press the cocking slide forward to the stop.
3. Lift the tip of the thumb so that the cocking
slide pin 117 leaves the cocking slide silently
(see Fig. 16).
4. Remove the thumb from the cocking slide.
Note:
Gun cocked:
– Red point on the stock handle under the
cocking slide is visible.
