TO LOAD AND FIRE (WITH MAGAZINE)
3.0 Handling
3.1 Important Instructions
• Before manipulating the weapon, ensure the safety lever is in the “S” (SAFE) position and the trigger guard is in the
closed position.
• Use only factory-new ammunition which corresponds to the caliber of the weapon.
• During all manipulations of the rifle, point the weapon in a safe direction.
• Do not place your finger on the trigger until the target has been verified and you intend to shoot.
• Do not load the weapon until immediately before use.
• Unload weapon immediately after shooting is finished.
• Remove the bolt carrier assembly and magazine from the weapon prior to transportation.
WARNING - HANDLING:
Never carry the rifle loaded with the safety lever in the “F” (FIRE) position. If dropped or struck with the safety off
(“F”), the rifle may fire. Such a discharge can occur with or without the trigger being directly struck or touched. Never rest a
loaded rifle against any object (wall, tree, fence, vehicle, etc.) because there is always the possibility that the rifle will be jarred
or slide from its position and fall with sufficient force to discharge. Keep the safety lever on “S” (SAFE) unless actually firing.
ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED
