tridge case from the chamber. The closing of the action will transfer a new cartridge from the magazine to the chamber, leaving the hammer in a cocked “ready to fire” position. When through firing always place the hammer in the safety (half-cock) position.

TO UNLOAD THE MAGAZINE

AND CHAMBER

Place the hammer in the safety (half-cock) position. With the rifle pointed upward, withdraw the inside magazine tube from the gun. Tip the gun downward allowing the cartridges to slide out into a suitable container. Replace the inside magazine tube. Operate the finger lever, opening the action to eject the round from the chamber. Look into the open action making sure there are no cartridges in the action, and see both the empty chamber and the colored magazine follower.

Always unload your gun when you have finished shooting, and before putting your gun away.

SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS

All Model 9422 rifles are fitted with open sights. The style and adjustment system may vary between models and grades.

Lift up on the notch blade holder and

with your fingers.

The proper procedure is to shoot a group with the sights set as they come from the factory (intermediate position on both elevation and windage), and then make incremental adjustments to move the sight blade and blade holder to position the group on your target. The procedures below are for the type of open sights found on current Model 9422 rifles.

BEFORE MAKING ANY SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS, MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE IS FULLY UNLOADED AND THE MUZZLE IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. PLACE THE HAMMER IN THE HALF COCK (SAFETY) POSITION.
