AMMUNITION WARNING
Old, Hot-loaded and/or re-loaded ammunition may be dangerous. Because of the
poor or nonexistent quality control standards among some companies or people
who make reloaded ammunition and the dangers of overloads and underloads
(squib loads) which may occur, we recommend that only good quality new factory
ammunition be fired in our firearms.[If you prepare your own handloads, do NOT
exceed recommended pressures in line with those generated by standard factory
loads as manu- factured by...

Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or
fence with a loaded gun.
Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat, RV, camp or any
building.
When receiving a gun, always open the loading gate and check to make sure all
chambers are unloaded.
NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty”. You should
immediately open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded.
Be careful with ALJ- ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at...

If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the
target for 30 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause a “hang fire” and
the cartridge will go off after a short pause. If it still fails to fire, keep muzzle pointed
in safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as you attempt to unload your
firearm.
Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel.
Always be sure the barrel is free of any obstruction.

permits the transfer bar to be interposed between the hammer and the firing pin can
cause the cartridge under the firing pin...
