Safety Warnings Not Just For Beginners Regardless of your familiarity or experience with firearms, don’t assume that you have no need to study this manual. The safe handling of firearms requires specialized training, discipline and caution. Firearms, by their nature and intended function, are deadly instruments. Accidental death or serious injury can result if they are handled improperly or carelessly. Firearms rarely cause accidents.
Guns Are Not Alike Many makes and models of firearms might LOOK nearly the same. However, they differ widely in design and operation, and in the location and function of various controls. Study this manual thoroughly. Educate yourself on the characteristics and operation of your particular firearm before attempting to handle it. Do not permit others to handle it, unless they also have done so. You should have an instruction manual for every firearm you own.
6. Be certain the gun is unloaded before cleaning. 7. Always empty guns before entering a place where there are people. 8. Never leave a loaded gun unattended. 9. Store guns and ammunition separately, beyond the reach of children. 10. Don’t test the safety by pulling the trigger while the safety is on unless you are absolutely sure the gun is empty and you are pointing away from everyone. 11. Be sure of your target and backstop before you shoot. 12. Guns and alcohol or drugs don’t mix. 13.
Warning Taurus rifles were manufactured to perform properly with the original parts as designed. It is your duty to make sure any parts you buy are installed correctly and that neither replacements nor originals are altered or changed. Your gun is a complex tool with many parts that must relate correctly to other parts. Putting a gun together wrong or with modified parts can result in a damaged gun, danger and injury or death to you and others through malfunction.
Ammunition 1. Use only high quality, original, factory-manufactured .22 Long Rifle ammunition, depending on the model. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosol type lubricants, preservatives, or cleaners directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions.
5. Bullets can become lodged in the barrel. • If the cartridge has been improperly loaded without propellant powder, or if the powder fails to ignite (Ignition of the cartridge primer alone will push the bullet out the cartridge case, but usually does not generate sufficient energy to expel the bullet completely from the barrel). • If the bullet is not properly seated tightly in the cartridge case.
Warning Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure. How To Operate The Safety Warning F Prior to firing, know and understand the operation of the safety by practicing with the rifle unloaded.
Rifle With “Taurus Security System” This rifle is equipped with the exclusive “TAURUS SECURITY SYSTEM”. The system is designed to preclude use of the rifle when the mechanism is engaged. It consists of an integral mechanism located on the back portion of the hammer. When properly activated, by use of the key, it prevents the functioning of the rifle. The engagement of the mechanism can only be done utilizing a key with a shape that fits the deactivating mechanism. 1.
How To Load Your Rifle Magazine Loading Warning Never attempt to load your rifle with ammunition that does not meet the cartridge designation stamped on the barrel. Use only clean, dry, factoryloaded .22 Win. Magnum Rim Fire ammunition(G23) or .22 Long Rifle cartridges (G22). Warning Before loading this firearm, always check the bore to be sure it is free of grease, oil or any other obstruction. Be sure the chamber is empty, bolt is open and the safety is on SAFE.
Cocked and Ready To chamber the first cartridge, close the bolt by moving the forend forward, then cycle the action again. Always keep the safety on SAFE. The gun is now cocked and ready to fire. To Fire With the gun pointed at the target, move the safety to the FIRE position and squeeze the trigger. Open and close the bolt completely for each repeat shot. If you have not fired all cartridges at the target, be sure to put the safety on SAFE until you are ready to shoot again.
2. Underpowered Shot: An underpowered cartridge is unusual if the ammunition is fresh, clean, and factory loaded. However, if you hear an unusual sound or low report, you should stop immediately and proceed as follows: Warning Because the bullet may actually still be in the barrel, you must unload completely and then with the bolt open, look through the barrel from the muzzle end to see if there is any obstruction. If there is, it should be removed by a qualified gunsmith.
With normal use it is not necessary to clean the bore of your rifle. However, if the rifle gets wet or if foreign material gets into the action or barrel, cleaning as described below is recommended. Being sure your rifle is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction with the safety on SAFE, cycle the bolt to the rear, as shown in Fig. 1. Clean the bore and barrel by using any standard .22 caliber commercial cleaning rod and cleaning patches.
