5.1 Safety system
The safety system of the Blaser R 93
LRS 2 bolt action rifle is centered on the
uncocked firing spring: you operate the
safety slide to cock the firing spring just
before firing the rifle or to release it
again. When repeating, it remains
cocked. With the safety slide released,
the bolt handle is simultaneously locked
to prevent accidental opening of the bolt
when carrying the rifle, provided this was
fully closed.
WARNING:
Do not touch the trigger while moving
the safety. The firearm will fire when
the trigger is pulled while operating
the safety. Never place your finger or
any object inside the trigger guard until
you are ready to fire the rifle.
• You should see a red warning dot
behind the safety slide to indicate the
“Off safe“ position (fig. 6).
