Manual

“On” Position.
When the safety is pushed all the way rearward it is
in the “on” position (Figure 6-A). In this position an
“S” is visible directly in front of the safety. Moving
the safety fully rearward and exposing the “S” blocks
the hammer from striking the firing pin.
THIS IS THE RECOMMENDED POSITION OF
THE SAFETY FOR ALL TIMES EXCEPT
WHEN FIRING IS IMMINENT.
“Off” Position.
When the safety (manual hammer stop) is pushed all
the way forward it is in the “off” position (Figure 6-
B).
THIS IS THE POSITION OF THE SAFETY
WHEN FIRING IS IMMINENT.
In this position,
when the trigger is pulled, the cocked hammer will
fall and strike the firing pin. If a cartridge is in the
chamber, the firing pin will strike the primer and fire
the cartridge.
USING THE SAFETY —
To place the safety (hammer stop) in the “on” position:
First, point your rifle in a safe direction, then place
the safety in the “on” position by moving it fully to
the rear with your thumb until the red “warning” spot
is covered by the safety and the “S” is visible (refer
again to Figure 6-A).
