cal. .22l.r.

2.3 Unloading

1. To open the breech, raise the breechblock lever (18) up to the stop.

2. With the breech open, look through the aperture in the grips to check that

there is no obstruction in the chamber or barrel.

3. Inspect the muzzle for any signs of damage.

4. Close the breech and verify that the mechanism operates smoothly. Thumb down the cocking

lever to set the hair trigger (25) and dry fire.

2.4 Loading and firing

Never set the hair trigger until the loading procedure is completed.

1. Raise breechblock lever (18) up to the Stop (so that firing pin will be cocked) and release it into

the loading position, i.e. when the ejector and barrel are flush.

2. Chamber a .22 long rifle round.

3. Completely close the breech with the breechblock lever (18). To prevent inadvertent discharges at

extremely light trigger pull settings, avoid forceful manipulations, e.g. sharply closing the breech,

or violent movements with the weapon loaded and cocked.

4. Set the hair trigger with the trigger lever (25).

5. The pistol is ready to fire.

6. Discharge the shot by pulling the trigger (10).

7. Extract the spent case by smoothly jerking the breechblock lever (18) up to the stop.
