UNPACKING YOUR FIREARM
Your firearm is shipped from the factory fully assembled. Before using this firearm,
gently tug outward on the operating handle to ensure it is securely engaged in the
bolt. If the operating handle should come out of the bolt, please refer to the
Action
Reassembly instructions. The operating handle must be properly installed prior
to use. A bright orange chamber plug has been inserted in the chamber (Figure
3) as an aide to ensure that the chamber is unloaded. You must remove this plug
prior to use.
Figure 3
TO LOCK THE ACTION OPEN AND REMOVE THE CHAMBER PLUG
1. With the safety button fully rearward in the “ON” (SAFE) position, and the
muzzle pointed in a safe direction, hold the firearm in your left hand by the
forearm, and grasp the operating handle with your right hand. (Figure 4).
2. Pull the operating handle fully rearward in one quick motion. When released,
the action will move slightly forward (towards the muzzle) and lock in the open
position.
3. Remove the chamber plug from the chamber. It is recommended that the chamber
plug be reinstalled when the firearm is not in use as an added measure of
safety to indicate the chamber is unloaded.
Check to be sure the firearm is unloaded by visually and physically
checking the chamber, elevator, and magazine tube. Make certain that
the safety button is fully rearward in the “ON” (SAFE) position (Figure 1).
