EXPOSING THE “S” IN FRONT OF THE SAFE-
TY LEVER. KEEP YOUR FINGER AWAY FROM
THE TRIGGER WHEN CYCLING THE ACTION.
IMPORTANT:
1. With the gun pointed in a safe direction and your
finger off the trigger, swing the finger lever downward
fully. This will extract any cartridge from the chamber
and eject it. Capture (pick up) the cartridge and return
the finger lever fully upward.
2. Proceed to operate the finger lever in the same manner
transferring all the remaining cartridges from the
magazine to the chamber and then eject them out. It is
possible, with practice, to carefully work the lever and
capture the loaded ejected cartridges with your other
hand.
THROUGHOUT THE UNLOADING PROCESS
MAKE SURE THAT THE MANUAL HAMMER
STOP/SAFETY STAYS IN THE "ON" POSITION
AND THAT YOU KEEP YOUR FINGER AWAY
FROM THE TRIGGER AT ALL TIMES.
When cartridges no longer eject when you cycle the
action, further assure that no cartridges remain by
opening the action and visually checking the chamber
and feed/magazine mechanism to be sure no cartridges
remain (Figure 12).
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS VISUALLY NOTE, BY
LOOKING THROUGH THE TOP OF THE OPEN
RECEIVER, THAT THE MAGAZINE FOLLOWER
IS SHOWING — NOT A CARTRIDGE BASE.
ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THAT NO
CARTRIDGES REMAIN.
After the last live round is moved out of the magazine
and ejected, immediately lower the hammer to the safe
(rebound) position as explained previously.
