    							Principal 
    parts. The weapon has the following principal parts: 
    barrel, 
    barrel sleeve, 
    receiver with back piece and firing mechanism, 
    pistol grip, 
    butt stock, 
    front sight and rear sight, 
    bolt with cocking handle and recoil spring and 
    magazine. 
    The barrel is mounted in the receiver and is secured by 
    the barrel sleeve. Dismantling see page 15. 
    The barrel sleeve is provided with a nut for screwing 
    on to the receiver.‘) On the barrel sleeve there are 
    front sight with catch spring, front sight guard and front 
    sling swivel. 
    The receiver carries the bolt and the firing mechanism. 
    On its rear part there are back piece,‘) a bracket with 
    a catch far butt stock and a rear sling swivel. In the 
    front part the receiver is threaded for the barrel sleeve 
    nut and provided with a guide pin and a catch for the 
    barrel sleeve nut. On the upper side the rear sight is 
    to be found and on the under side, the magazine guide, 
    a magazine catch and a trigger guard. Internally the 
    receiver is provided with an ejector. Furthermore there 
    are locking slots for the back piece, manoeuvre- and 
    safety slots for the cocking handle, and an ejector hole. 
    The firing mechanism is located in the lower part of 
    the receiver and consists of trigger and sear, which is 
    kept in a hooked position by the sear spring. 
    The pistol grip has two wooden grips. 
    The butt stock is fixed in an open position by a catch. 
    The butt stock is provided with a cheek guard. 
    The front sight and the rear sight are of an open type. 
    The rear sight is a flap sight adiustable for 100, 200 and 
    300 m. The front sight can, when a new barrel is moun- 
    ted, be given different adjustment by means of a front 
    sight key, vertically and laterally.

    							The bolP) has an action face with an integral firing 
    pin in the front part, feed rib and slots for- extractor 
    and ejector. On the underside at the back there are 
    a cocking bent and a transverse hole, in which the 
    cocking handle is mounted. The rear part is shaped as 
    a support for the recoil spring. The extractor is movable 
    against a spring being held by a plate. The bolt can 
    be locked in the front position by pressing the cocking 
    handle into a hole on the left side of the receiver. 
    The magazine is a rod magazine for 36 cartridges. The 
    magazine is provided with holes so that the number of 
    the cartridges can be judged approximately.

    HANDLING 
    How the gun The 
    works. boll 
    The 
    tion action of the gun is based on the blow back-heavy 
    system. 
    cocking handle is pulled back to the cocked posi- 
    at which the recoil spring is compressed, and then 
    a loaded magazine is inserted in the magazine guide 
    until it locks. 
    When the trigger is pressed, the heavy bolt is released 
    and is driven forward by the recoil spring. The feed 
    rib on the bolt strips the top cartridge from the maga- 
    zine and drives it into the firing chamber. The extractor, 
    which is attached to the bolt, snaps into the cannelure 
    in the cartridge case and the firing pin strikes the 
    cartridge primer exploding the powder. 
    The momentum of the heavy bolt and the spring keeps 
    the bolt in forward position, until the bullet has left the 
    barrel and the pressure in the barrel has dropped to 
    safe limits. 
    The remaining pressure drives the empty cartridge case 
    and moving parts to the rear. The case strikes against
