WARNING: 
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN THIS MANUAL 
CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS FIREARM. 
 
DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POOLY VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING 
FIREARMS OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT IN EXPOSURE TO 
LEAD AND OTHER SUSBSTANCES KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA 
TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECT, REPRODUCTIVE HARM AND OTHER SERIOUS 
PHYSICAL INJURY.  HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATED AT ALL TIMES.  WASH 
YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER EXPOSURE. 
 
 
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
This rifle is shipped from the factory fully assembled and ready to shoot.  Clean the rifle 
from excessive oil and grease before using. 
 
TO LOAD MAGAZINE: Hold the magazine box firmly with one hand and, with the 
other, place a cartridge into the magazine throat just in front of the supporting notch.  
Push the cartridge head down and rearward until it is securely locked in\
 place.  A 
maximum of fifteen rounds may be loaded. 
 
TO ATTACH MAGAZINE: Push the magazine into the trigger guard housing opening, 
until the magazine locks in place. 
 
TO DETACH MAGAZINE: Push magazine release forward until the magazine catch 
releases the magazine.  Pull the magazine away from the trigger guard.

TO MAKE GUN SAFE: Safety lever is at the right side of the receiver and at the back 
of the bolt operating handle.  Pull safety latch toward the “S” mark on the receiver. This 
locks trigger and gun cannot be fired. 
 
TO LOAD CHAMBER: With the safety on, insert a loaded magazine into the rifle.  Pull 
the bolt operating handle all the way to the rear and release, allowing the bolt to move 
forward under full force of the operating springs.  Bolt automatically picks up a cartridge 
from the magazine and feeds it into the chamber.  Do not ease bolt forward. 
 
TO FIRE: Be sure gun is pointed at safe target.  Release safety and pull the trigger. 
Pressure from the burning powder opens up bolt, ejects empty shell, and reloads the 
chamber for the next shot.  Pull the trigger again.  Gun fires as fast as tr\
igger is pulled 
until magazine is empty. 
 
TO UNLOAD WITHOUT FIRING: Draw safety on and release the magazine from 
guard.  Work action several times to remove any cartridge left inside the chamber.  Slide 
bolt handle rearward and lock piece.  Inspect the chamber to make sure no cartridge is 
left.  Empty magazine can be placed back if desired.

to trip the rebound lever, moving it to the rear away from sear in the direction 
indicated by an arrow on the rebound lever. (See small sketch engrave in the 
trigger housing). 
4. Push bolt handle forward.  Slide the bolt over the rebound lever.  Release the 
trigger. 
Note: Steps 5 to 7 can be by-passed as long you follow instruction of step no.2

receiver cap into its original position.  Tighten the receiver cap lock \
screw.

CAUTION: 
The safety in your firearm is correctly designed, fitted and tested.  However, any 
mechanical device can fail.  Never point your firearm at anything but a safe target and 
never rely upon the safety to justify careless handling. USE HIGH VELOCITY .22 
CALIBER LONG RIFLE CARTRIDGES ONLY. 
 
When loading, pull bolt handle fully rearward and allow it to snap forward\
 sharply.  
Breech area and magazine should be cleaned thoroughly.
