Accessories
Carrying sling
The carrying sling permits different carrying modes by the firer and
enables the firer to have the weapon immediately ready to use in all
carrying modes. (See pages 54-57)

The locking lugs disengage. The bolt head disengages (unlocks) from
the barrel extension. Bolt head carrier and bolt head move to the rear.
The extractor in the bolt head extracts the cartridge case from the
chamber. When the bolt assembly passes the ejection port, the spring-
loaded ejector ejects the cartridge case to the right.
The rearward movement of the bolt assembly compresses the recoil
spring and cocks the hammer.
Driven by the recoil spring the bolt assembly moves forward and pushes
the uppermost cartridge out of the magazine into the chamber.
The bolt head contacts and stops at the rear face of the barrel and the
bolt head carrier continues its forward movement which rotates the bolt
head via the control bolt and the control cam into the locked position.
The firing pin tip can only protrude the bolt face and hit the primer when
the bolt is fully locked.
The weapon is now ready to fire again.
