closed. By doing so, you make sure you are prepared for
the chance of a delayed ignition Engage the safety and open
the rifle by pressing the action release button. Remove the
cartridge or shell. Verify that the bore is clean and
unobstructed. If the primer is indented, the cartridge should
be disposed of in accordance with the ammunition

any safe manner. If the primer is not indented, or only
lightly indented, you should immediately return the Tip Up
