M OUNTING A SCOPE
The top of the receiver on every Model 9422 and Model
9417 is grooved to accept standard 22 caliber rifle-type
scope mounts. Depending on the type of bases and/or
mounts you purchase, your rifle will accept thin-tube
scopes, red-dot type sights or standard rifle scopes. On the
Model 9422 and Model 9417 the barrel is attached rigidly
to the top portion of the receiver. So, even though your
rifle is a take-down design, your scope stays sighted in
even after the action is taken down.
Carefully follow all instructions provided with your scope
mounts, rings and scope when mounting your scope.
When a scope mount is used you may need to use the
hammer extension provided with your rifle (refer to the
instructions under “Using the Hammer Extension”).
U SING THE H AMMER E XTENSION
Your Model 9422 or Model 9417 is provided with a ham-
mer extension that makes it easier to operate the hammer
when a scope is used. It is also recommend for use even
when a scope is not installed. It offers an excellent grip
and facilitates better control over the hammer. It should
be found in a small bag inside the larger bag containing
this owner’s manual and other important literature. Also
included is an allen wrench (hex-type) and set screw for
securing the extension to your rifle’s hammer. If your box
did not contain an extension, an allen wrench and a small
set screw, ask your dealer to locate yours.
The hammer spur can be used in either the left hand or
right hand position. Installation is as follows:
BEFORE ATTACHING YOUR HAMMER
EXTENSION ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THERE
ARE NO CARTRIDGES IN THE CHAMBER,
MAGAZINE OR ACTION/FEED AREAS.
WARNING: PROPER MOUNTING OF THE
HAMMER EXTENSION IS IMPORTANT TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.
1. Determine which side you want the extension to
extend. For right-handed shooters the round, hollow
part of the extension should protrude to the right. For
left hand shooters it should protrude to the left side.
2. Slide the hammer extension over the end of the
hammer spur. The notch in the mount has an internal
rail that guides the extension into place. The cut out
portion of the extension goes to the rear (Figure 20)
3. The hammer extension is secured to the hammer with
an allen wrench. It is located inside the hollow tube-like
extension itself. With the extension pushed fully forward
into position, insert the allen wrench into the head of
the screw and tighten the allen screw against the side of
the hammer.
