10 THE BOL T LOCK The Mini Thirty Rifle is designed so that the bolt remains open after the last shot has been fired, provided there is a magazine in the rifle. When the magazine is empty , the magazine follower actuates the bolt lock which is designed to retain the bolt and slide in their rearward position.
Death, serious injury , and damage can result from the use of wrong ammunition, bore obstructions, powder overloads, or incorrect cartridge components. Even the strongest gun can be “blown up” as a result of excess pressure. Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protectors.

INSERTING THE MAGAZINE See Figure 6. The magazine may be inserted with the bolt either in the closed or open position (See “Bolt Lock” section p. 10).
The bolt automatically opens and shuts quickly while firing. Keep face and hands away from it. Hot brass and powder gas is ejected quickly and can burn you. The rifle should be fired from the right shoulder . Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protectors.

Before loading or shooting the Mini Thirty rifle, be certain the bore is unobstructed. Firing the rifle with any obstruction in the bore may result in severe damage to the rifle and serious injury to the shooter and other persons nearby.
20 c) Retract the slide handle and lock it in the open position by pressing in the bolt lock plunger in the top of the receiver . Retracting the slide handle should remove the cartridge case.
21 2. When attempting to free a jammed cartridge, do not use any type of tool that is likely to act as a “firing pin” and discharge the cartridge should the tool impact on the primer . Never use a cartridge as a “tool”. 3. After clearing a jam, inspect the gun mechanism to determine if dirt or debris might be the cause of the problem.
A cartridge can be “discharged” before it is chambered if its primer receives a sharp blow . If a cartridge hangs up, jams, or binds when being chambered or when being fed from the magazine into the chamber , do not attempt to force it into the chamber by pushing or striking the bolt.

42 THE BASIC RULES OF SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING We believe that Americans have a right to purchase and use firearms for lawful purposes. The private ownership of firearms in America is traditional, but that ownership imposes the responsibility on the gun owner to use his firearms in a way which will ensure his own safety and that of others.
43 A safe direction must take into account the fact that a bullet may penetrate a wall, ceiling, floor , window , etc., and strike a person or damage property .
44 5. BE SURE OF YOUR T ARGET BEFORE YOU SHOOT . Don’t shoot unless you know exactly where your bullet is going to strike. Be sure of the bullet stop behind your target, even when dry-firing with an unloaded gun. If you are in the field hunting, do not fire at a movement or noise.
8. DON’T SHOOT A T A HARD SURF ACE, OR A T W A TER. Bullets can glance off many surfaces like rocks or the surface of water and travel in unpredictable directions with considerable velocity . 9. NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM. Firearms should always be unloaded before being placed in a vehicle.
