Immediately remove your finger from the trigger and slow-
ly and carefully allow the hammer to lower into the “safe-
ty” half-cock position (Figure 13). When the chamber is
loaded never place the hammer in the fired (down)
position (Figure. 14).
WARNING: THE HALF-COCK TYPE SAFETY IS
DESIGNED TO SECURE THE HAMMER, HOLD-
ING IT FROM CONTACTING THE FIRING PIN.
HOWEVER, THIS MECHANISM WILL NOT NEC-
ESSARILY PREVENT THE ACCIDENTAL DIS-
CHARGE OF THIS FIREARM AS A RESULT OF
JARRING OR ABUSE SUCH AS OCCURS
WHEN A FIREARM IS DROPPED.
The safety (half-cock) arrangement is also designed to
resist greater forces than are normally required to pull the
trigger. The half-cock position is not intended to test
one’s finger strength, but rather, to provide sufficient pro-
tection against unintentional or accidental firing. To
forcibly pull on the trigger to cause the hammer to fall
from the half-cock position will strain the parts and
reduce the pressure needed to dislodge the hammer, thus
damaging the safety feature of your rifle.
IMPORTANT: CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE BAR-
REL AND CHAMBER TO REMOVE ALL
GREASE AND OTHER POSSIBLE OBSTRUC-
TIONS BEFORE FIRING YOUR GUN.
HOW TO LOAD
