    1. General procedure for preventing and elimination of stoppages: With 
    proper maintenance storage and handling; the rifle is reliable in use. 
    However, as a result of careless handling, dirty parts, low-grade 
    rounds, and also as a result of wear of the parts caused by extensive 
    use, normal operation of the rifle can be affected, causing stoppages 
    during fire. The majority of stoppages can be easily eliminated simply 
    by cocking the rifle that is by bringing to the rear the bolt carrier and 
    releasing it. 
    To Prevent Stoppages: 
    1. Prepare the rifle for firing properly. 
    2. Inspect, clean, and lubricate the rifle. 
    3. Carefully observe the cleanliness and operation of bolt 
    carrier, bolt, gas channels, and magazines. 
    4. Perform timely maintenance. 
    5. Carefully inspect ammunition before firing. 
    6. Fire only new serviceable and clean ammunition. 
    7. Disassemble and clean the rifle whenever it is dirty. If the rifle 
    is used in extremely cold weather a considerable period of time, 
    before loading it is necessary to move the bolt carrier forward 
    and rearward several times manually. If a stoppage occurs 
    whereas a chambered round fails to fire, continue to point the 
    rifle in a safe direction and wait approximately 30 seconds. This is 
    to avoid possible delay detonation of a hangfire type 
    malfunctioning cartridge. Recock the rifle immediately manually 
    and continue firing, if recocking the rifle does not eliminate the 
    stoppage, it is necessary to ascertain the cause and correct it.
