General Rules for the Safe Use

and Handling of the T/C 22 LR

Classic Semi-Auto Rifle

Follow the rules for use and handling of the T/C 22 LR Classic Semi-Auto

Rifle. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY CAUSE INJURY

AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAM-

AGE TO PROPERTY.

1. If you are unfamiliar with firearms seek professional instructions

Qualified organizations such as local gun clubs, the National Rifle Association

and State Hunter Safety programs offer courses which teach safe gun handling

and proper hunting procedures. Those who are unfamiliar with firearms should

seek guidance from an instructor who is qualified by one of these organizations.

2. The T/C 22 LR Classic rifle is shipped from the factory with a red plas-

tic Empty Chamber Indicator inserted into the chamber of each rifle.

This

indicator shows that the chamber does not contain a 22 LR cartridge. If, when

examining your 22 LR Classic rifle, you do not see this Empty Chamber

Indicator, assume the rifle may have a round in the chamber, and immediately

inspect the chamber, making sure that the rifle is pointed in a safe direction, the

manual safety is engaged in the “ON” position, and your finger is off the trigger.

Warning: Treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Failure to heed this warn-

ing may cause injury and/or death to the shooter or bystanders, and dam-

age to property.

3. Always point the muzzle of your rifle down range

. The possibility of acci-

dental discharge is a constant danger when using a firearm. If the muzzle is

pointed downrange, away from yourself, other people, domestic animals or

property, then there can be no injury or damage from an accidental discharge.

4. Never load your T/C 22 LR Classic Semi-Auto Rifle until you are ready

to fire it

. If your rifle is not loaded until you are ready to fire and you are direct-

ing your full concentration to it and the target then there can be no accidental

discharge of the rifle. Never transport or carry a loaded rifle in a vehicle. Never

hand a loaded rifle to another person. Never store a loaded rifle in your home.

Never cross a fence, climb a tree, jump a ditch or engage in any activity which

distracts your attention while holding or carrying a loaded rifle. Never attempt

to clean a loaded rifle.

5. Be physically fit and mentally alert when using your T/C 22 LR Classic

Semi-Auto Rifle

. The use of your rifle involves forceful physical actions which

equire strength and concentration. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs
