Safety Function Check

Remove Magazine. Pull Charging Handle completely to rear. Visually check to make sure the Chamber is

clear and empty. Close the Bolt and Bolt Carrier close.

Place Selector Lever in

SAFE

position, point rifle in a safe direction, and pull Trigger.

THE HAMMER SHOULD NOT FALL.

Place Safety Selector Lever in

FIRE

position. Pull the Trigger.

THE HAMMER SHOULD FALL.

Hold Trigger to the rear, pull Charging Handle to the rear and release Charging Handle. Then release

pressure on the Trigger with a slow, smooth motion, without hesitations or stops, until the Trigger is fully

forward.

NOTE:

For purposes of this check, “SLOW” is defined as one fourth to one half the normal rate of

trigger release.

AN AUDIBLE CLICK SHOULD BE HEARD - THE HAMMER SHOULD NOT FALL.

Repeat this Safety function test

FIVE TIMES.

The Rifle must not malfunction during any of these five tests.

If the Rifle malfunctions during any of these tests, stop using the rifle and have it serviced by a Remington

Authorized Repair Center.

Loading A Magazine

Use only quality commercially manufactured ammunition and the caliber specified for use in your rifle.

Always examine your ammunition to confirm that the ammunition you are using matches the specified

ammunition markings on the barrel of your rifle. Examine each Cartridge - particularly around the primer.

Look for dents, scratches, and other signs of damage.

DO NOT USE DAMAGED OR RELOADED

AMMUNITION!

With the Magazine facing forward as shown in the illustration, place a Round between the Feed Lips of the

Magazine with the Bullet Tip forward. Push the Round down until it is held by the Magazine Feed Lips.

(picture 4)

If necessary, give the Round a slight push backward to seat it against the inside back edge of the Magazine

Feed Lips. Place next Round on top of the previous Round and repeat steps until desired number of Rounds

are loaded into Magazine.

CAUTION:

Safe Firearms Handling dictates that you

ONLY LOAD LIVE

AMMUNITION INTO YOUR RIFLE WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO SHOOT.
