Guns requiring warranty repairs should
be returned to the factory. Be sure to fol-
low the “Shipping and Handling” instruc-
tions on this page.
Non-Warranty Repairs
A competent gunsmith may be able to
repair your gun. If not, ship it to the factory,
following the “Shipping and Handling”
instructions on this page.
After receiving your firearm, we will send
you an estimate of the repair cost. Repairs
will begin upon receipt of your check or
money order. If repairs are not possible,
your firearm will be returned.
Shipping and Handling
When sending your firearm to the factory
please follow these instructions:
1. Prior to shipping, be absolutely certain
that the firearm is completely unloaded
(See “How to Unload” in this manual).
2. Pack your firearm carefully. Use ample
cushioning material and a sturdy outer
cardboard box. Do not ship in a special
container which you want returned.

Further disassembly of the action is not
recommended and should only be attempt-
ed by a qualified gunsmith or the factory.
Step #6 — (Reassembly is easier if gun is
secured in a padded vise, or held by an
assistant.) To reassemble, place recoil
spring guide into one end of recoil spring,
then place opposite end of spring into
breech bolt. Next, put recoil spring guide
into hole at the rear of the receiver. To
prevent kinking the spring, hold breech
bolt and recoil spring in one hand and use
the other hand to support the spring as
shown in P, while compressing spring until
guide enters breech bolt.
Step #7 — The charging handle can now
be positioned through the ejection port. To
complete the insertion of the breech bolt,
be sure the charging handle fits into the
slot provided for it in the bolt.
Reinstall the action by pulling the charging
handle all the way back and locking it in
the open position, and reversing the action
disassembly procedure (See Q).
When reassembling the barreled action
and stock, be sure the receiver is seated
as far back in the stock as it will go while
tightening the takedown screw. Otherwise,
the rifle may not fire.
Use a very thin coat of light oil during below
freezing conditions. Condensation droplets
will form soon after the rifle is brought into a
warm room, or it may become wet during
inclement weather. In any case, all moisture
should be removed. Exterior metal finishes
may be wiped down with a lightly oiled
cloth. For long term storage, lightly oil the
bore, barrel and action with gun oil. Your
gun should be completely unloaded and
stored in a dry area with the action open.
Never store your gun in a carrying case.
