FUNCTION TESTING

After performing any work on your firearm such as cleaning, disassembly,
or installation of any accessory, check your firearm for proper functioning
before firing any live ammunition.

Be sure the firearm is completely unloaded by visually and physically
checking the chamber, elevator, and magazine tube. Also make certain
the firearm is pointed in a safe direction at all times.

1. Move the safety button fully to the right to the “ON” (SAFE) position.

2. Grasp the operating handle and pull the bolt fully rearward. It should lock in

the open position.

3. With fingers and other objects clear of the ejection port, press the bolt release

and allow the bolt to move forward under spring pressure. It should lock in the
fully closed position. Repeat this procedure several times to check for free
movement of the action assemblies.

(SAFE) position, pull the trigger fully rearward. The hammer should not fall
(NO FIRE).

“OFF” (FIRE) position. The hammer should not fall (NO FIRE).
