WARNING
Removal of the magazine will not unload the firearm! Removing the
magazine will not remove any cartridge which is in the firearm’s cham-
ber! A cartridge in the firearm’s chamber can still be fired, even after
the firearm’s magazine has been removed! After you remove the mag-
azine always visually and physically inspect the chamber and receiver
to ensure the firearm is completely unloaded!
FIREARM WILL FIRE WITH MAGAZINE OUT.
TO INSTALL CLIP MAGAZINE
Insert the unloaded clip magazine with the red cartridge follower end first and the
long flat portion of the clip to the rear of the magazine opening. Push the maga-
zine into place until it snaps into its locked position. (Fig. 4 & 5) On models with
AR style stock, be sure that the release lever is returned to its upmost position so
that the magazine will snap into its locked position.
TO REMOVE CLIP MAGAZINE FROM MODELS WITHOUT AR STYLE STOCK
Press the magazine lock forward toward muzzle and pull the magazine from the
stock with your free hand. (Fig. 4)
TO REMOVE CLIP MAGAZINE FROM MODELS WITH AR STYLE STOCK
Press down on the magazine release on either side of the receiver shell and pull
the magazine from the stock with your free hand. (Fig. 5)
