Safety Rules
Due to its special design characteristics, your new Blaser single shot rifle K 95 differs from other single shot rifles. The improved safety features of your Blaser rifle must however, never induce you to disregard the required care and legal provisions for handling arms.
Please check first, whether you have the correct instruction manual. The type designation K 95 and the indication of the calibre are displayed on the left side of the barrel, at the rear.
General safety rules for handling firearms
- Make sure the firearm and ammunition never get into unauthorized hands.
- Always store firearm and ammunition under lock and key in separate cabinets that are not accessible to unauthorized persons.
- Observe current statutory regulations for the carrying and safekeeping of firearms and ammunition.
- Make sure you are thoroughly familiar with how to handle your firearm and, with the firearm unloaded, practice all of the functions and the actions you will need to make, before you carry it.
- Always treat any firearm as loaded and ready to shoot. If you are not certain of its status, check by opening the bolt and looking in the magazine and cartridge chamber (barrel). You should handle an unloaded firearm in the same way as a loaded one.

Safety Rules
- Whenever holding the rifle, always point the muzzle in a safe direction to ensure you neither injure people nor damage property.
- Before loading, check the barrel for obstructions and make sure no foreign matter (water, snow, soil) can get into the barrel after loading, too.
- Only use CIP-approved ammunition which is in good condition and check that the ammunition is correct for the caliber of the rifle. Wrongly re-loaded ammunition can damage your rifle and cause serious injury.
- Do not load your rifle until just before you fire it.
- Do not cock your rifle (take off safety) until you are ready to fire. When cocking (taking off safety), point the muzzle in a safe direction.
- Before making each shot, check the terrain in front of and behind the target.
- Aim your rifle only at targets you have definitely identified.
- Keep your finger away from the trigger unless you wish to fire the rifle.
- If a cartridge fails, wait approximately 60 seconds before opening the breech to avoid danger from a cartridge that may be late firing.
- Always wear ear defenders when firing (ear plugs).
Unload your gun
- before negotiating obstacles
- before climbing into or leaving raised blinds
- before entering a building
- before climbing into a vehicle

1. Assembling the rifle
1.1. Hooking in barrel
This is only possible with the fore-end removed.
Pull out extractor all the way to the stop. Do not touch top lever. Place the foremost barrel lug on the hinge pin. Due to the tight fit, you have to proceed care­fully. Grip barrel lug part and receiver with one hand, press the barrel lug into its bed, closing the rifle at the same time.
Hooking in the barrel requires a certain degree of skill; but please refrain from using force! The best solution is, to ask an expert to show you the procedure and to do it in his presence several times.
CAUTION:
In the event of unskilful handling, the breech block may, when the barrel is tilted, slip out of its slightly inclined posi­tion (pointing to the front) and snap backwards into a vertical position (green dot on the left side of the breech block is not visible any longer). If this happens, the rifle cannot be closed any more. In this case push the top lever all the way to the right, and with the other hand, return the breech block into its slightly inclined position (to the front).

WARNING:
Do not move the safety to the “off safe“ position until you are ready to fire.
Keep your finger away from the trigger unless you wish to fire the rifle.
When you interrupt or finish firing move the safety slide immediately back­wards in the “on safe“ position.
Before making each shot, check the ter­rain in front of and behind the target.
Ensure that the target and the environ­ment allow shots to be fired without danger.
Always wear ear protection and safety glasses when shooting. Alert bystanders to the importance of wearing ear pro­tection.
If a cartridge fails, wait approximately 60 seconds before opening the breech to avoid danger from a cartridge that may be late firing.
Always keep muzzle of the rifle pointed in a safe direction.
Before loading, always wipe off any ex­cess grease and oil, then verify that there is no obstruction in the chamber or the trigger guard.
Do not place your finger on trigger, keep it outside of the trigger guard.
Never load or unload the rifle inside a vehicle, inside a building or other con­fined space (except in a designated fir­ing range).
Do not load the rifle by inserting the magazine until immediately before shooting.
Never rely on safety mechanisms. They are never a substitute for careful and correct handling of your rifle.
Never let a loaded rifle out of your hands.

3.2 Closing the rifle
Do not touch the top lever. Grip barrel and swivel stock upwards. The breech block snaps into place in the barrel and is latched by the breech wedge. Check, whether the top lever is locked, by push­ing it slightly to the left. The rifle cannot be cocked if the lever is in an unlocked position. To lock the top lever, a small degree of force is required, particularly with new rifles. This is due to the precise fit of the breech wegde.
CAUTION:
In the event of unskilful handling, the breech block may, when the barrel is tilted, slip out of its slightly inclined position (pointing to the front) and snap backwards into a vertical position (green dot on the left side of the breech block is not visible any longer). If this happens, the rifle cannot be closed any more. In this case push the top lever all the way to the right and with the other hand, return the breech block into its slightly inclined position (to the front).
3.3. Cocking the lock
(putting the rifle „off safe“)
Press the safety slide forward until it snaps into position.
CAUTION:
Safety slide to the front: The breech is closed. The lock is cocked. If loaded, the rifle is now ready to fire!

3.5. Loading the rifle
Remove the oil from barrel and chamber and check it for foreign obstacles. Make absolutely sure, that the ammunition corresponds with the calibre of your rifle. Insert the correct cartridge into the maga­zine. Close the rifle.
3.6. Firing a shot
Initial situation: The rifle is loaded and locked. The lock is not cocked. Surroundings, background and aim are clearly discernible. Cock the lock (safety slide all the way to the front). Fire the shot by actuating the fine trigger.
During the shot, the cocking slide snaps back into its original position, due to the recoil.
3.7. Trigger
CAUTION:
The Blaser single shot rifle model K 95 is equipped with a fine trigger. The trigger pull is adjusted at the plant closely to the finest possible adjustment as provided by international safety standards.
The adjustment can and may only be altered by the manufacturer.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling am­munition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventila­tion at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
WARNING
Using the WRONG ammunition could destroy your rifle and cause serious personal injury or death. If a bullet is in the bore, do not attempt to shoot it out by using another cartridge. This can generate excessive pressure, damage the firearm and cause serious personal injury.

3. Operating and handling
3.8 Unloading the rifle
Open the rifle. (see 3.1.)
When the barrel is tilted, the cartridge extractor pulls out the cartridge from the magazine, so that it can be taken out by hand.
18
4. Open sights
Due to differing sighting habits and re­quirements, the rifle is tested and ad­justed through open sighting in the plant to an approximate degree of accuracy only. Accurate test-shooting by adjusting rear and front sight should be performed by you, together with your dealer, to allow the sighting to be tailored to your personal requirements.
4.1. Front sight for height adjustment
- Insert the 1.5 mm AF allen key into the hole of the front sight base and turn the allen screw as required:
- Front sight (spring-loaded) screw out = point of impact lower screw in = point of impact higher
4.2. Rear sight (notch) for side
adjustment
- The sight has holes left and right for a
1.5 mm allen key
- Point of impact more to the left: loosen allen screw on the right side, tighten allen screw on the left side.
- Point of impact more to the right: loosen allen screw on the left side, tighten allen screw on the right side.
Please tighten allen screws with sensitivity.

5. Mounting the scope
The K 95 has been prepared for the original Blaser saddle mount (DBP). We assume that an authorized dealer has fitted your scope correctly to match the barrel.
5.1. Mounting the scope:
- Flip the covers of the front and rear locking lever open, ensuring that both of them are swivelled fully forward/up.
- Grip the rifle at the fore-end with your left hand and support stock on your thigh.
- Grip the scope at the centre tube above the mount with your right hand in such a manner, that you can reach the front locking lever with your thumb.
- Carefully place the two round pins of the scope mount into the two oval notches in the upper right side of the barrel. Tilt scope to the left and keep
it in this position.
- First press the front and then the rear mounting lever (which were flipped open previously) backwards/down with your thumb, until they reach the stop (tension). If this can be done too easily or only by using considerable force, then the mounts are set incorrectly. In either case, have your authorized dealer correct this to specification.
- Close the two saddle covers of the locking levers now.
Ensure that the mounting surfaces are clean and free from oil.

6. Care and maintenance
WARNING:
B e f o re perf o rming any cleaning or maintenance, make sure the rifle is com­pletely unloaded.
Always make sure you use suitable materials that are intended for the purpose of cleaning rifles.
Barrels:
After firing, prior to storing for long periods and after carrying the rifle, treat barrels and cartridge chamber with suit­able gun oil, particularly when conditions are damp or wet. Make sure you thoroughly remove excess oil from barrels and cartridge chamber before firing. With a heavy build-up of cartridge deposits inside the barrel, we recommend treating these parts with chemical barrel cleaners.
WARNING:
Make sure you read and adhere to the instructions and warnings given by the manufacturer of the cleaning agent.
Metal parts:
Always keep all metal parts of the rifle clean and lightly oiled.
Stock:
The wooden stocks of all Blaser hunting rifles have an oil finish. We recommend regular treatment with a good quality stock oil or wax.
Gun oil is unsuitable for stock care!
Optics:
Refer to the service instructions of the manufacturer.
Maintenance:
Take your rifle to your gun dealer for examination and maintenance before the hunting season and before hunting trips. Like your automobile, your rifle is an item of equipment that needs regular main­tenance and inspection.
