With the rearm pointed in a safe direction and held in the proper ring position,
rotate the safety selector lever fully to the vertical “OFF” (FIRE) position (Fig. 15).
Pulling the trigger through its full travel to the rear will re the rearm.
After the rearm is red the action will be cycled by the gas system and automatically
load the next cartridge. The trigger must be fully released before the rearm will be
ready to re again.
If there is a pause in ring, rotate the safety selector lever fully to the “ON” (SAFE)
position. If so equipped, the ejection port cover will automatically open when the
rearm is red again or when the bolt is manually opened (Fig. 16).
Should a cartridge fail to re after pulling the trigger, keep the rearm pointed
in a safe direction in case of a hangre. Wait a few moments then pull the
charging handle to the rear to extract and eject the misred cartridge and
segregate from other ammunition. Do not attempt to rere a misred cartridge.
If at any time during ring, the sound of any given cartridge is noticeably
louder or softer than previous cartridges red, STOP! Do not load or
re additional cartridges until you have safely unloaded your rearm and
inspected it for possible damage or obstruction in the chamber or bore.
(The bore is the inside surface of the barrel.) Firing the rearm with a
bore obstruction can cause damage to the rearm and may result in serious
personal injury to the shooter and/or others nearby.
When ring a large number of cartridges in a short period of time, the barrel
of the rearm will become extremely hot. If this rearm stops ring with a
live cartridge in the chamber of a very hot barrel, remove the magazine and
chambered cartridge immediately and allow the rearm to cool. This rearm
could re just from the heat of the barrel.
