PRECAUTIONS AND CARE WITH YOUR FIREARM
When you store your firearm, make sure that the magazine and the chamber are
empty.
Operation of the firearm and/or repeated disassembly may cause screws to
loosen. Refer to the section of the manual TO REASSEMBLE THE FIREARM
and check all screws including the Takedown Screws (Figure 10), the #4 Plastite TM
Screws (Figure 11), the #2 Plastite TM Screw, and the Stock Bolt periodically and at
each cleaning interval to ensure the continued accuracy and safe operation of
your firearm. Care should be taken, especially with the #2 Plastite TM Screw that
attaches the Magazine Release, not to over-tighten any screws as this may cause
screws to strip.
Handling leaves moisture prints that can cause metal parts to rust. Abrupt
changes in temperature cause condensation and moisture. Wipe the barrel and
other metal parts with light oil after handling.
SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
BEFORE MAKING ANY SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS:
a. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, remove the magazine
and lock the operating handle in the open position (Fig 6 & 7), and
visually and physically check the chamber and inside the receiver to
be certain the firearm is unloaded.
b. Move the safety button fully to the right to the “ON” (SAFE) position.
ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT ON MODELS WITHOUT AR STYLE STOCK: To raise
the point of impact, raise the rear sight by turning the top adjustment screw clock-
wise. To lower the point of impact, lower the rear sight by turning the top adjustment
screw counter-clockwise.
Windage adjustment: To move the point of impact to the right, turn the side adjust-
ment screw clockwise. To shift the point of impact to the left, turn the side adjust-
