tridge case from the chamber. The closing of the action
will transfer a new cartridge from the magazine to the
chamber, leaving the hammer in a cocked “ready to fire”
position. When through firing always place the hammer
in the safety (half-cock) position.
T O U NLOAD THE M AGAZINE
AND C HAMBER
Place the hammer in the safety (half-cock) position. With
the rifle pointed upward,
withdraw the inside magazine
tube from the gun. Tip the gun downward allowing the
cartridges to slide out into a suitable container. Replace
the inside magazine tube. Operate the finger lever, open-
ing the action to eject the round from the chamber. Look
into the open action making sure there are no cartridges in
the action, and see both the empty chamber and the col-
ored magazine follower.
Always unload your gun when you have finished shooting,
and before putting your gun away.
S IGHT A DJUSTMENTS
All Model 9422 rifles are fitted with open sights. The style
and adjustment system may vary between models and
grades.
The proper procedure is to shoot a group with the sights
set as they come from the factory (intermediate position
on both elevation and windage), and then make incre-
mental adjustments to move the sight blade and blade
holder to position the group on your target. The proce-
dures below are for the type of open sights found on cur-
rent Model 9422 rifles.
BEFORE MAKING ANY SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS,
MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE IS FULLY
UNLOADED AND THE MUZZLE IS POINTED IN
A SAFE DIRECTION. PLACE THE HAMMER IN
THE HALF COCK (SAFETY) POSITION.
