A. LOADING
FIG. 4
Use 6 mm plastic BBs only in this airsoft gun. Use of any other ammunition can cause injury to you or dam-
age to the airsoft gun. We recommend using Crosman or GameFace .20g or .25 Heavy BBs.
• Make sure the airsoft gun is “ON SAFE” (section 2A).
• Point the airsoft gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• While supporting the BB magazine, push the magazine release lever forward and remove the
magazine.
• Slide open the magazine cap door.
• Insert 6 mm plastic BBs.
• Close the magazine cap door.
• Insert the loaded magazine back into the airsoft gun.
• Rotate the wind up wheel to draw plastic BBs up into the ready tube. Wind the wheel 50 to 75 turns
for optimum performance.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PUT THE MAGAZINE IN THE GUN PRIOR TO WINDING TO HELP AVOID JAMS.
• Winding before putting into the gun can cause a jam.
B. UNLOADING PLASTIC BBS
• Make sure the airsoft gun is “ON SAFE” (section 2A).
• Point the airsoft gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• While supporting the BB magazine, push the magazine release lever forward and remove the
magazine.
• Slide the magazine cap open.
• Flip open the loading door behind the ready tube
• Pour out BBs.
• To release the BBs in the ready tube, point the clip down in a safe direction and push back and hold
the BB retainer button.
NOTE: BBs will release rapidly.
• Rotate the wind up wheel to draw BBs into the ready tube.
• Repeat the above steps until all the BBs are out of the magazine.
• Close the magazine cap.
Never assume that because the airsoft gun no longer fires a BB and/or the loading chamber is removed,
that a BB is not lodged in the barrel. Always treat the airsoft gun as though it is loaded and with the same
respect you would a firearm.
5. SELECTING THE FIRING MODE
NOTE: This airsoft gun fires in semi or full auto-mode. Full auto means it will continue to fire plastic BBs as long
as you hold the trigger. Semi- auto means you will have to pull the trigger each time you want to fire a shot.
• Locate the safety on the left side of the receiver. (Fig. 2a)
• Turn the lever to “SEMI” for semi-auto mode.
• Turn the lever to “AUTO” for full auto mode.
• The airsoft gun is “OFF SAFE” and ready to fire when pointing to either “semi” or “auto.”
6. USING THE HOP-UP MODE
Your airsoft gun is manufactured with an adjustable hop-up system. The purpose of this system is to change
the spin on the BB as it leaves the muzzle, allowing you to adapt your shot for different distances.
• Pull out and hold the charging handle to open the ejection port cover.
• Turn the hop-up adjustment dial clockwise for more spin, counter-clockwise for less spin.
7. ADJUSTING THE STOCK
• Your airsoft gun is shipped with the stock in the closed position and is capable of adjusting to differ-
ent lengths.
• Before adjusting the stock make sure your airsoft gun is “ON SAFE”, (see section 2A) and pointed in
a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Push the stock release lever and adjust the stock until it locks into the desired position.
8. AIMING AND FIRING SAFELY
A. FIRING SAFELY
• You and others with you should always wear eye protection designed for airsoft to protect your eyes.
• Always point your airsoft gun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The plastic BBs may bounce off or ricochet
and hit someone or something you had not intended to hit.
• DO NOT re-use plastic BBs because they could possibly cause damage to your airsoft gun.
• Your airsoft gun is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor and outdoor use.
Always remember to place your target carefully. THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target.
• When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, load and
charge the airsoft gun following sections 3 and 4. Take the airsoft gun “OFF SAFE” (section 2A) aim
and pull the trigger to fire.
B. ADJUSTING THE SIGHTS
The rear sight is adjustable for windage.
To adjust for windage, use the dial on the side of the sight.
• Turn clockwise to move the point of impact to the right.
• Turn counter-clockwise to move the point of impact to the left.
The rear sight has 2 different apertures. To change apertures flip from one to the other.
9. MAINTAINING YOUR AIRSOFT GUN
• DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER YOUR AIRSOFT GUN. Tampering with the airsoft gun or attempts to
change the airsoft gun in any way may make it unsafe to use, may cause serious injury or death and
will void the warranty.
• If you drop your airsoft gun, visually check to see that it works properly before you use it again. If
anything seems changed, like a shorter or weaker trigger pull, this may mean parts are worn out or
broken. Call Customer Service at Crosman for assistance before using your airsoft gun again.
10. TROUBLE SHOOTING/INCREASING YOUR SHOOTING ENJOYMENT
• Occasionally shake the gun to ensure smooth BB feeding.
• This is a high precision airsoft rifle. Prevent dust and dirt from getting into the magazine to help
maintain the performance of your airsoft rifle.
• If the efficiency of BB feeding seems to decrease, remove all the BBs from the magazine and spray
silicone oil for 1 to 2 seconds. (Note that the hop-up operation may become unstable for a while
after using silicone oil).
• An odor may be generated from the motor initially from a new airsoft gun, this is normal.
• If the airsoft gun does not fire in semi-auto mode, follow safe shooting rules and turn the gun to full
auto mode for 5 to 10 shots before returning to semi-auto mode.
• Change the battery if firing cycle becomes slow.
• Give the airsoft gun a rest for 5 to 10 minutes after about 500 BBs have been fired.
CLEARING A JAM
Never look down the end of barrel to see if a jam has been cleared.
1. Make sure the airsoft gun is “ON SAFE” and pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
2. Remove magazine.
3. Insert the tapered end of the cleaning rod into the barrel, with the angle toward the breech (where the
magazine connects).
4. CAREFULLY and slowly apply more pressure until you push the BB out of the breech.
5. Reinstall the magazine and test gun.
