TYPE OF AMMUNITION TO BE USED
It is suggested that high quality commercially manufactured ammunition be used in this firearm. Avoid military
surplus or old ammunition as it may not fire with sufficient force to expel the projectile from the barrel. The use
of reloaded, high pressure or hand-loaded ammunition can be dangerous and will void the warranty.
LEAD WARNING: The actual firearm does not contain any lead; however, it does fire ammunition which
contains lead or lead compounds known to cause cancer, birth defects, reproductive toxicity, and other serious
physical injury. Those who discharge a firearm, stand near someone who discharges a firearm or clean
firearms are hereby warned of the dangers presented by lead and lead compounds and should take protective
