SAFETY PROCEDURES

1.

We recommend that you get competent firearms instruction in safe handling
before using this firearm. Please ask your dealer. All guns are extremely
dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the firearm user is the
primary “safety” and to depend on any mechanical devices is to be only half
safe.

AMMUNITION WARNING

Old, Hot-loaded and/or re-loaded ammunition may be dangerous. Because of the
poor or nonexistent quality control standards among some companies or people
who make reloaded ammunition and the dangers of overloads and underloads
(squib loads) which may occur, we recommend that only good quality new factory
ammunition be fired in our firearms. [If you prepare your own handloads, do NOT
exceed recommended pressures in line with those generated by standard factory
loads as manu- factured by Remington, Winchester, Federal, PMC or other repu­table companies.] Do NOT use +P Ammo or High Velocity High Pressure Ammuni­tion (factory or handloaded). Old ammunition may not fire with sufficient force to
expel the projectile from the barrel.

WARNINGS -- READING THESE SAFETY RULES WILL
SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor before using this or any
firearm. Learn from a professional how to handle, load, unload, operate, fire and
care for your gun.

NEVER PLAY with your firearm. It is not a toy and can be a very dangerous
weapon that can cause serious personal injury or death.

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Treat
all the time. NEVER point any firearm (loaded or unloaded) at any person or
anything you do not intend to shoot. Always keep your gun unloaded until ready
to use and make sure that it is unloaded before cleaning.

Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target and
ready to shoot. Learn to rest your finger outside of the trigger guard.

Never rely on a gun’s “safety” to protect you from unsafe gun handling. A safety is
only a mechanical device, not a substitute for common sense and gun safety
procedures.

Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall and fire.
Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children.

Make sure that they are properly secured so untrained individuals and children will
be denied access to your guns and ammo.

Test your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting range while the firearm is
pointed in a safe direction.

Know your target and what is beyond. Ask yourself what your bullet will hit if it
misses the target or passes through the intended target. Remember, a fired bullet
can travel over a mile (including a ricochet) and is capable of going through walls.

Guns and alcohol or drugs do not mix. Don’t take any alcoholic beverages and/or
drugs before or during shooting activities.

Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or
fence with a loaded gun.

Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat; RV, camp or any
building.

When receiving a gun, always open the loading gate and check to make sure all
chambers are unloaded.

NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty”. You should

immediately open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded.

Be careful with &J ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at close range
due to the muzzle blast. Make sure your ammunition is in new and in good clean
condition, Do NOT oil or grease ammo as this may damage the cartridge primer.

Do NOT tamper with or alter the standard factory ammunition.

Keep firearms unloaded when not actually in use. Load the gun only when on the
range preparing to fire and unload it before leaving the range.

Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.
ALWAYS WEAR protective shooting glasses and hearing protection when using

firearms.
Spectators should be at least 10 feet behind and away from the shooter while the

shooter is loading, shooting and unloading. Spectators should wear protection for
hearing and sight loss and they should avoid distracting those shooting their
firearms.

Never carry a handgun in your pocket, purse or tucked in a belt or waistband. Use
a revolver case or a proper holster with safety flap or strap.

Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper function
before using it again.

Do NOT alter or modify your gun. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull,

because it may affect sear engagement and thereby cause accidental firing.

Do NOT remove any internal safety or safety device on the firearm. Safety mecha-

nisms are designed to protect you from injury or death.
Do maintain and keep your gun clean. Keep in a dry place away from other metals

and water. If your gun shows sign of corrosion or improper operation, have it
serviced by a competent gunsmith.

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction when loading and unloading your gun.
Never point the muzzle at anyone.

Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or

water....bullets

ricochet.
