• In the final stage of the advance, the bolt head (5) locking
lugs, via the cam, rotate and lock within the monoblock.
• The weapon is ready to be fired.
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger away
from the trigger when cocking any firearm.
Never carry or leave unattended any firearm which is cocked and
ready to fire! When cocked, it could fire from slight pressure on
the trigger. An accidental discharge could easily result if you fall
or drop the firearm, or if the firearm is struck or disturbed by
someone or something.
Never fire any firearm with your finger, hand, face, or other part
of your body over or adjacent to the ejection port, or in any
position where you may be struck by reciprocating movement
of the breech. Both the ejection of empty cartridge cases and the
movement of the breech are part of the normal operating cycle of
firearms, and pose no safety hazard to the shooter if the firearm is
held in a normal grip and fired at arm’s length.
