G ENERAL D ESCRIPTION
Your new Model 9422 or Model 9417 is one of several
different versions and configurations offered. The basic
operating procedures are the same for all of them. Where
there are differences they are pointed out in this booklet
for your safety and convenience.
The Model 9422 and Model 9417 are a lever action design
that allows the shooter to load a round by cycling the
action and moving a cartridge from a loaded magazine
tube to the chamber. After firing, working the finger lever
ejects the empty cartridge out the ejection port to the right.
Returning the finger lever upward cycles a new cartridge
from the magazine into the chamber. This can be repeated
until the magazine is empty. The basic function and the
classic looks are much like that experienced by hunters,
trappers, farmers and sportsmen with their Model 94
centerfire rifles.
