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 &J ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at close...

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.

cause the cartridge under the firing pin to...

WARNING
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to load or
unload any firearm inside a vehicle, building or other confined space (except a
properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently offer no com-
pletely safe direction in which to point the firearm. If an accidental discharge
occurs, there is great risk of injury or property damage. Before loading, always
clean all, grease and oil from the bore and chamber, and check to be certain that
no obstruction is in...
