The principle of operation
To bring weapons in combat position move the fuse box (located to the right of the receiver, with the handle of the paddle) forward until it stops. On the bed opens the red marker. Lift the handle of the paddle, pull the stalk back, make the stacking of cartridges in the store, and if it was done, feed the slide forward and push the handle into the groove of the box. The weapon is ready to fire. You can abandon the instant of the shot and put the trigger Assembly of the rifle on the fuse, sliding the box back.
- If the box guard is moved to the Lock position back to the stop, open the white marker, it blocks not only the trigger and the trigger firing pin and the bolt, lift the handle impossible.
- Cartridges in the store are stacked from the top, through the window in the receiver. The procedure of loading from the side of the trigger guard to the forearm difficult and unproductive. The use of the flip cover of the hopper is more than justified by the need to urgently defuse the weapon: after the hunt or for safety when disassembling and cleaning the weapon.
- To open the hopper lid, press the lever located on the inner side of the front branch of the trigger guard.
Disassembly
- Open the hopper lid store by clicking on the lever under the trigger guard.
- Remove the weapon from the guard, sliding the box forward until a red marker.
- Lift the handle of the gate and take him back, make sure that no cartridge in the chamber and on the line of loading.
- Press the lever to the left of the back plate of the receiver and remove the bolt.
If necessary, remove the two screws behind and in front of the trigger guard with the key supplied and remove the box from the receiver with the trigger mechanism and the barrel. The separation of the trigger and the disassembly is best done in the Armory workshop. The same applies to the extraction of the striker and mainspring from the bolt.
Tuning
The design of the rifle does not include any improvement measures, except the installation of the brackets or mounts for optical sights. Preference is given to high separate brackets, because at the blocked window of the receiver loading will be difficult.
