WARNING
The bolt has been fitted at the factory to assure proper head space when used with this particular rifle. Never interchange bolts from one rifle to
another as this may affect head space leading to a potentially hazardous situation. If your bolt is damaged or lost, return your rifle to the facto-
ry for replacement with a properly fitted bolt.
The Safety Mechanism
1. The safety mechanism is located on the right side of the receiver just behind the bolt handle. (See Picture 5)

The safety mechanism can be placed in the “safe” position only when the firing pin is cocked. To cock
the firing pin, lift the bolt handle fully and then lower it back to the locked position. When the firing pin
is cocked, the rear of the firing pin mechanism protrudes from the back of the bolt.
