Winchester Repeating Arms SX-AR (Historic Manual) - Manual (Page 13)

The bolt lock is located on the right side of the receiver,
just to the rear of the forearm (Figure 5). It automatically
engages after the last cartridge in the magazine has been
fired and locks the bolt to the rearmost, open position.
The bolt lock can also be used to lock the bolt in the
rearward position when the magazine is removed. To lock
the bolt in the open or rear position, pull the operating
handle all the way to the rear and press upward on the
bolt lock.
To release the bolt when no magazine is in the rifle and
the bolt is locked rearward, pull the operating handle to
the rear to disengage the bolt lock and release the handle.
This will allow the bolt to return to the forward position.

The barrel and action of this rifle have been made with
substantial safety margins over the pressures developed
by established American loads. However, we assume no
responsibility for incidents which occur through the use
of cartridges of nonstandard dimension or those
developing pressures in excess of SAAMI (Sporting
Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute)
established standards.

The SX-AR magazine is unique for the rifle and should
not be used in other rifles. No other magazine type should
be used in your rifle. The specialized design makes the
magazine highly reliable and easy to maintain.
