Manual

f. The disconnector (B, fig 9 ) prevents the rifle from

firing if the bolt is not fully lockcc!. It does this in two ways: by

its control of the position of the trigger bar; and by a notch in the

disconnector, which intercepts the scar notch of the hammer if the

disconnector is not fully dcprcsscd, such as when the bolt is not

fully lock&

The safety, when rotated up to the safe position, places

a block behind the trigger and prevents the trigger from being

pressed.

h. The bolt catch is normally held depressed by a light

spring. When the last round is fed from the magazine, a nib on the

magazine platform contacts the catch and forces it upward. As the

recoiling bolt passes the catch, the catch protrudes into the bolt

path and holds the bolt open.
