english
There are 8 caliber groups available (see
table on page 42). When changing the
barrel to a different caliber group, you
will also have to change the bolt head to
suit the caliber group of the barrel you
have chosen to use. The table on page
42 shows the correct components to be
used together. In addition, bolt heads
and barrels are stamped with markings
which identify the caliber group (fig. 11).
Take a final check that these markings
match after the rifle is assembled.
Caliber group markings:
Hornet Marking HO
Mini Marking MI
Standard Marking ST
Medium Marking ME
Magnum Marking MA
Ultra Magnum Marking UM
Swiss Marking CH
Shotgun Marking 28
7. Changing the barrel
Make sure you also use the correct
magazine to match the caliber of the
barrel. The caliber marking can be
found on the side of the magazine.
Note: Single-shot inserts are supplied
with barrels in the calibers .22 Hornet,
28/70 and 10.3x60R. Magazines are not
available for these.
Changing the barrel:
- Unload the rifle (see chapter 5).
- Remove the bolt assembly
(see chapter 6.1).
- Remove the magazine (remove the
scope if fitted, see chapter 12.2 or
13.2 as appropriate).
- Fully undo both attachment screws
with the 4 mm AF allen key, these are
captive so cannot be lost.
- Lift the barrel out of the receiver.
- Place the new barrel in the bed of the
receiver.
- Tighten both barrel attachment
screws hand-tight with the allen key.
- Insert a magazine matching the caliber
of the barrel into the magazine hou-
sing.
- Check that the marking stamped on
the bolt head (HO, MI, ST, ME, MA,
UM, CH, 28, see chapter 7 and fig.
11) matches the caliber group of the
barrel.
- If you have to change the bolt head in
the bolt assembly, see chapter 8.
Note:
Always keep the barrel bedding clean.
Excessive oil or grease between the barrel
and receiver will impair the accuracy of
the rifle.
