Manual

follows, WHILE KEEPING THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION:
Remove the magazine, then pull back the bolt and hold or lock it to the rear. The
jammed cartridge or case now can be removed by shaking it out or by picking it out
with the fingers. When the bolt is jammed closed put the safety “ON”, remove the
magazine and point the gun in a safe direction. Place the butt of the rifle on a hard
surface and strike the bolt handle to the rear using a wooden or plastic mallet to
open the bolt. If this fails to open the bolt take the gun to a gunsmith
immediately. Determine what caused the jam before resuming shooting.
11. Dirt, corrosion, or other foreign matter on a cartridge can impede complete
chambering and may cause the cartridge case to burst upon firing. The same is
true of cartridges which are damaged or deformed.
12. Do not oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the chamber clean of any oil or
preservative before commencing to shoot. Oil actually interferes with the friction
between cartridge case and chamber wall that is necessary for safe functioning,
and subjects the firearm to stress similar to that imposed by excessive pressure.
13. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid excessive spraying of any aerosol gun care
product, especially where it may get on ammunition. All lubricants, and aerosol spray lubricants in particular,
can penetrate cartridge primers and cause misfires. Some highly penetrative lubricants can also migrate inside
cartridge cases and cause deterioration of the propellant powder, and on firing the powder may not ignite. If
only the primer ignites there is danger that the bullet may become lodged in the barrel.
