Loading cartridges
|
| To load cartridges into a fully ejected magazine: |
| 1 | Center a slot within one of the openings located on the side of the |
|
| magazine. |
| 2 | Correctly orient the cartridge. |
Important | 3 | Fully insert the cartridge into the slot. |
There is a keying feature in each slot that |
only lets you fully insert the cartridge one way.
When pushing the cartridge into the slot, you should feel a small resistance (detente) until the cartridge is correctly latched into the slot. All forward progress stops when the cartridge is fully inserted.
Unloading cartridges
You can remove a cartridge the same way you insert it.
To unload cartridges from a fully ejected magazine:
1Pull the ejected magazine until the first large upper slot is accessible.
2Use the knobs on the side of the magazine to center the slot and cartridge you want in the first opening on the cartridge slot side of the magazine. Do not expose more than the first large upper slot when manually operating the magazine.
3Using your thumb and index finger, pull out the cartridge. You should feel a small resistance, but continue to pull the cartridge until it comes free.
