Mossberg 715T - Manual (Page 11)

Before inserting the magazine into the firearm, point the muzzle in a safe
direction, pull the operating handle fully rearward, release it, and let the
bolt return to its most forward position. Move the safety button fully to the
right to the “ON” (SAFE) position.
Insert the loaded magazine into the magazine opening until it snaps into
its locked position.
Point the muzzle in a safe direction and ensure the safety button is still
positioned fully to the right at the “ON” (SAFE) position. Using the
operating handle, pull the bolt to its most rearward position, release it,
and let the bolt return freely to its forward position. It may be necessary
to pull out on the operating handle when it is in its most rearward posi-
tion to get it to return to its forward position. The bolt will push one car-
tridge from the magazine into the chamber. FILLER FOR FORMATTING
The firearm is now loaded.
Do not touch the trigger until you are on target and have decided to fire.
Removing the magazine does not unload the firearm! The firearm will fire
if a cartridge is chambered, whether or not a magazine is in the firearm.
