THERE ARE NO CARTRIDGES IN THE MAGA-

I NSTALL —
1. Make sure the claw extractor (if gun is so equipped) is
perfectly lined up with the right hand locking lug.
2. Insert the bolt into the receiver with the lugs on the
bolt aligned with the lug tracks in the receiver.
3. Push fully forward and lower the bolt handle down to a
locked position. The safety can now be operated.
4. Again, make sure the safety is already in (or placed in)
either the intermediate or rear safe positions.
R EMOVE —
1. To remove the bolt the firing pin must be in the
cocked position. If it already is, proceed to step 2. If not,
first perform the following: With the rifle unloaded and
the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, cock the firing pin
by raising and lowering the bolt handle.
2. Place the safety in the intermediate position.
3. Again, raise bolt handle and draw the bolt fully to the
rear.
4. Depress the bolt stop located at the left rear of the
receiver and remove the bolt (See Figure 8).
The breech bolt has been carefully selected and fitted at
the factory to assure correct head space. It is etched with
the last four digits of your rifle’s serial number for identifi-
cation purposes. To assure your safety, never interchange
breech bolts. You will not have the proper head space. If
the breech bolt is lost or damaged, return your rifle to the
factory for replacement with a properly fitted bolt.
