Manual

If the rifle is dropped, ensure that the safety remained in the “ON” position. Unload
the rifle, remove the magazine and inspect the rifle to ensure that the bore has not
become clogged with dirt, snow, twigs, or other foreign material. Running a cleaning
rod down the bore from the muzzle end is a good way to check for any obstruction.
If, when firing, the report is weak or peculiar, stop immediately - return the
safety to the “ON” position. Inspect the bore for a stuck bullet. If the bore is
obstructed,
do not continue to fire the rifle. Return the unloaded rifle and
unloaded magazine to the Thompson/Center Service Department, Farmington
Road, Rochester, New Hampshire 03867, with a letter outlining the problem.
Failure to Fire
If the 22 LR Classic rifle fails to fire, keep the rifle pointed down range (or in a
safe direction) for at least 30 seconds. If, after 30 seconds, the rifle has still not
fired, remove the magazine and pull the bolt rearward, locking it rearward by
pressing up on the bolt stop.
Put the safety in the “ON” position. If the car-
tridge has not been extracted from the chamber, manually extract it, as explained
on page 15 “Clearing a Jam” in this manual). Inspect the cartridge case for firing
pin indentation. If the rim appears to have a solid firing pin indentation, the mis-
fire could have been a result of a faulty cartridge. Dispose of the cartridge in
accordance with the ammunition manufacturers recommendation.
If, on the other hand, the firing pin indentation appears weak and is barely notice-
able, it may be that the firing pin is being prevented from making full contact on
the rim of the case by oil, dirt or other debris. Make sure that the bolt has been
thoroughly cleaned (see section on cleaning). If weak “hits” persist, you should
return the
unloaded rifle and unloaded magazine to the Thompson/Center
Service Department, Farmington Road, Rochester, New Hampshire 03867.
.
Always keep the muzzle of your firearm pointed down range for at least 30
seconds if the cartridge does not fire after pulling the trigger. The possi-
bility of a “hang fire” (delayed ignition) could exist, and a misdirected muz-
zle could lead to the bullet being directed in a dangerous direction,
THEREBY CAUSING INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER
OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
