5.0. Unloading
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE MUZZLE IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION!
1. Ensure the fire control selector is rotated to the “SAFE” position.
2. Remove the magazine by depressing the magazine catch; and
3. Retract the charging handle locking the bolt carrier assembly to the rear; and
4. Visually and physically inspect the chamber to verify it is empty.
Remember to clear the chamber after the magazine is removed.
Never assume that any firearm is unloaded until you have personally checked it, visually and physically.
After every range session make sure the firearm is unloaded before you leave the range.
WARNING:
Removing cartridges from the magazine does not prevent the rifle from being fired! When there is a cartridge in the
chamber and the safety lever is in the “F” (FIRE) position, the cartridge will discharge if the trigger is pulled. It is absolutely
essential for the user to know how to completely unload the rifle.
“Completely” means emptying the magazine and removing a chambered cartridge. The safety lever should always be in
the “S” (SAFE) position when the rifle is being unloaded.
THE RIFLE WILL FIRE EVEN IF THE MAGAZINE IS EMPTY OR REMOVED
