LOADING THE MAGAZINE
To load the magazine when it is out of the firearm, remove the magazine from the
firearm by pulling the magazine latch rearward (Fig. 6). The magazine will drop free
from its seat. Hold the magazine in one hand and insert one cartridge at a time,
pressing against the magazine follower and rearwards until the magazine is full, or
until the desired number of cartridges have been loaded (Fig. 7A and 7B).
LOADING THE SINGLE CARTRIDGES
Move the safety lever fully rearward to the “ON” (SAFE) position. POINT THE
MUZZLE IN A SAFE DIRECTION! Lift the bolt handle and pull the bolt to the rear
until it stops. Visually and physically check the chamber to make sure it is empty.
You may use your firearm as a single-shot by placing one cartridge at a time directly
into the chamber. Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, push the bolt
forward and rotate the bolt handle clockwise to its fully down position. The firearm is
ready for firing as soon as the safety lever is moved forward to the “OFF” (FIRE)
position.
