B. Installing the Bolt

Your rifle is completely assembled except for the bolt, which has been
removed for safety during transportation and storage. The bolt is packed
separately in the shipping carton.

1. To install, hold rifle in your left hand.
2. With your right hand, slip the bolt head forward into the receiver.

NOTE: Special care should be taken not to contact the comb of the
stock as damage could occur.

3. Rotate the bolt handle down to place bolt in the fully closed position.

C. Removal of Bolt

1. Point rifle in safe direction.
2. Place the safety lever to the “POSITION 2” (Fig. A2). Keep your finger

away from the trigger.

3. Lift the bolt handle and slide the bolt to the rear. Check the ejection port

to confirm that the firing chamber is empty.

4. Find the bolt stop lever (see picture C1), a small rectangular knob at the

left rear section of the receiver.

5. While pushing the bolt stop lever down, pull the bolt fully to the rear

and clear of the receiver (see picture C2).

NOTE: Every time you lift the
bolt handle it automatically
blocks the firing pin so the rifle
cannot be fired. If the bolt is
closed the rifle will be ready to
fire unless you manually apply
the safety.
