2. Safety system and bolt handle lock
2.1 Safety system
The safety system of the Blaser R 93 bolt
action rifle is centered on the uncocked
firing spring: you operate the safety slide
to cock the firing spring just before firing
the rifle or to release it again. When
repeating, it remains cocked. With the
safety slide released, the bolt handle is
simultaneously locked to prevent acci-
dental opening of the bolt when carrying
the rifle, provided this was fully closed.
WARNING:
When cocking and uncocking, keep your
fingers off the trigger (unlike firearms
with a hammer which you may be used
to). In the case of a Blaser rifle, this will
discharge a shot!
You should see a red warning dot
behind the slide to indicate the
„Off safe“ position (fig. 6).

2.2 Cocking (taking off safety)
- Press your thumb right into the ribbed
finger recess.
- Slide the safety slide forwards firmly
with the thumb as far as the stop and
lift off the thumb to allow the slide to
engage in the cocked position (fig. 5).
