Safety rules
Your new Blaser bolt action rifle model
R 93 differs from other repeaters through
a number of special design features.
Although your Blaser firearm exhibits
additional safety features, do not forget
that you must take care when handling
firearms and also observe the statutory
regulations.
First of all, check you have the right user
manual: the model name R 93 and cali-
english
ber can be found 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
- before entering a town or village
- if you temporarily put the rifle down
or hand it to someone.

1. Assembling, taking down
english
fig. 1 fig. 2
fig. 3
- Drop the magazine into the receiver
with the magazine lips upwards
(fig. 3).
1.1 Assembling
- Remove the large allen key (SW 4)
from its pocket in the shipping carton.
With the barrel screw studs pointing
down, insert the barrel into the receiver (fig. 1).
6
- Then, insert the allen key into the holes
on the bottom of the fore-end and
tighten the two allen screws equally
locking the barrel and receiver together
(fig. 2). Do not use any extension tools
on the allen key to tighten screws.
Good hand tightness is sufficient.
1. Assembling, taking down
fig. 4
- Push the magazine down to the
bottom of the receiver - with your
thumb - and hold! (fig. 4).
- Place both bolt rails parallel on the rear
end of the receiver and insert the bolt
by sliding the bolt rails forward. Push
forward on the bolt handle until the
bolt is closed completely.
- To remove the bolt, magazine
and barrel read chapter 6 and 7 of
instructions.
WARNING:
Always make sure the bolt handle is
locked in the back position when installing the bolt assembly, i.e. at an angle of
approx. 45°. If the bolt handle is close to
vertical, you cannot mount the bolt
assembly. Pull the bolt handle back until
it engages in the 45° position.
WARNING:
When assembling the rifle, ensure that
the barrel, bolt and magazine all match
and are of the correct caliber.
1.2 Taking down
- Push the safety slide forward slightly
with the thumb (approx. 1/16“),
simultaneously pulling the bolt handle
back with forefinger and middle finger
(unlocking - fig. 9).
Then pull the bolt all the way straight
back.
- Unload the rifle (see chapter 5).
- Push down and hold the bolt stop pin
(fig. 10) simultaneously withdrawing
the bolt assembly with the other hand.
- With the 4 mm AF allen key supplied,
undo the two barrel attachment
screws.
- Remove the barrel.

2. Safety system and bolt handle lock
2.1 Safety system
The safety system of the Blaser R 93 bolt
action rifle is centered on the uncocked
firing spring: you operate the safety slide
to cock the firing spring just before firing
the rifle or to release it again. When
repeating, it remains cocked. With the
safety slide released, the bolt handle is
simultaneously locked to prevent accidental opening of the bolt when carrying
the rifle, provided this was fully closed.
WARNING:
When cocking and uncocking, keep your
fingers off the trigger (unlike firearms
with a hammer which you may be used
to). In the case of a Blaser rifle, this will
discharge a shot!

2.2 Cocking (taking off safety)
- Press your thumb right into the ribbed
finger recess.
- Slide the safety slide forwards firmly
with the thumb as far as the stop and
lift off the thumb to allow the slide to
engage in the cocked position (fig. 5).
You should see a red warning dot
behind the slide to indicate the
„Off safe“ position (fig. 6).
