Read and understand this entire manual and its safety warnings before
firing the firearm.
MECHANICAL SAFETY
The safety lever is located on each side of the rear portion of the firearm, above
the pistol grip, and must be manually moved to the desired position by the shoot-
er.
Remember, a firearm’s manual safety is a mechanical device which can
never replace safe firearm handling practices.
Because any mechanical device can fail, never rely on any mechanism
or safety device to prevent the dangers of careless handling or pointing
a firearm in an unsafe direction.
Fig. 3
Fig. 4
The safety is set in the “ON” (SAFE) position by moving the safety lever
fully to the horizontal position with the notch pointed toward the SAFE
setting (Fig. 3).
The safety is set in the “OFF” (FIRE) position by moving the safety lever
to the vertical position with the notch pointed toward the FIRE setting
(Fig. 4).
The safety should remain fully horizontal in the “ON” (SAFE) position
and the firearm unloaded at all times until you are in a place where it
is safe to shoot, keeping your finger off the trigger and outside of the trig-
ger guard until you are aiming at the intended target and have
decided to fire.

WARNING
Removal of the magazine will not unload the firearm! Removing the
magazine will not remove any cartridge which is in the firearm’s chamber!
A cartridge in the firearm’s chamber can still be fired, even after the
firearm’s magazine has been removed! After you remove the magazine
always visually and physically inspect the chamber and receiver to ensure
the firearm is completely unloaded!

To minimize the risk of unintended firing, the safety should remain fully
horizontal in the “ON” (SAFE) position and the firearm unloaded at all
times until you are in a place where it is safe to shoot, keeping your
finger off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard until you are
aiming at the intended target and have decided to fire.

100691 Blaze 47 6/13/18 1:28 PM Page 10
Have adequate ventilation at all times and wash hands thoroughly after
exposure.
With the firearm pointed in a safe direction, held in the proper firing position, keep
your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are aiming at the
intended target and have decided to fire. Move the safety lever vertical to the
“OFF” (FIRE) position. Once you intend to shoot, pulling the trigger through its full
travel to the rear will fire the firearm.
Upon firing, the pressure generated by the powder combustion will push the bolt
to its rearward position, extracting and ejecting the fired cartridge case. Upon
reaching its most rearward position, the bolt will have recocked the hammer and
the bolt recoil spring will then push the bolt forward, feeding a new cartridge from
the top of the magazine and chambering it. The firearm will again be ready to fire.
As the firearm was designed to fire semi-automatically only, it is mandatory to
relieve pressure on the trigger after each shot in order to allow the disconnector
to again connect the trigger to the firing mechanism. This cycle will be repeated
every time the trigger is pulled until there are no cartridges remaining in the
magazine.
After the last cartridge has been fired the magazine follower is designed to keep the
bolt in the open position. If the magazine is removed from the firearm while the bolt
is kept open by the follower the bolt will close. If the firearm is fired without a mag-
azine, the bolt will not be held open and will need to be manually locked open by
pulling the operating handle fully rearward then pushing the handle inward as indi-
cated by the ARROW on the back of the operating handle.
To interrupt shooting and unload the firearm, keep the firearm pointed in a safe
direction, move the safety lever fully horizontal to the “ON” (SAFE) position,
remove the magazine and lock the bolt in the open position by pulling the
operating handle fully rearward then pushing the handle inward as indicated by
the ARROW on the back of the operating handle.
As a safety procedure, every time shooting is interrupted or the firearm
is unloaded, move the safety lever fully horizontal to the “ON” (SAFE)
position and pull the operating handle fully rearward, then push the han-
dle inward as indicated by the ARROW on the back of the operating han-
dle to lock the bolt in the open position. Always visually and
physically inspect the chamber, receiver, and magazine to make sure
that all of the cartridges have been removed.
10
100691 Blaze 47 6/13/18 1:28 PM Page 11
Should any cartridge fail to fire, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction
for at least thirty (30) seconds in case the cartridge is a “hangfire” (delayed fir-
ing of the cartridge after being struck by the firing pin.) Lock the bolt in the fully
open position by pulling the operating handle fully rearward, then pushing the
handle inward as indicated by the ARROW on the back of the operating han-
dle to lock the bolt in the open position. This will extract and eject the misfired
cartridge. Then, remove the magazine (as it may still have loaded cartridges).
Move the safety button fully to the right to the “ON” (SAFE) position.
Segregate the misfired cartridge from other ammunition. Do not attempt to
refire a misfired round.
If at any time during firing, the sound of any cartridge is noticeably louder or
softer than previous cartridges fired, STOP! Do not load or fire additional car-
tridges. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, remove the magazine (as
it may still have loaded cartridges in it), and while keeping the ejection port
and magazine well opening of the firearm turned away from your face (to pro-
tect your eyes in the event a defective cartridge explodes), open the action by
pulling the operating handle fully rearward, then pushing the handle inward as
indicated by the ARROW on the back of the operating handle to lock the bolt
in the open position. Visually and physically verify that the chamber is empty.
Move the safety button fully to the right to the “ON” (SAFE) position. After
unloading, inspect your firearm for possible damage or obstructions in the
chamber or bore. Firing the firearm with a bore obstruction can cause dam-
age to the firearm and could cause serious injury or death to you or those
around you.
Each brand and type of ammunition can produce different accuracy results. It is
best to try as many brands and types of ammunition as possible to determine
which performs best in your firearm.
DISASSEMBLY
Move the safety lever fully horizontal to the “ON” (SAFE) position. Pull the
operating handle fully rearward then push the handle inward as
indicated by the ARROW on the back of the operating handle to lock the
bolt in the open position. Visually and physically inspect the chamber,
receiver, and magazine to make sure that all of the cartridges have been
removed before disassembling the firearm. Always wear eye protection
during disassembly and cleaning.
During disassembly/reassembly reference the “Exploded View” section of this
manual for labeled and listed parts contained within this firearm.
Remove the ten #4 Plastite™ screws, the front sight set screw (use a 3/32 hex
key), and the two sets of barrel nuts and machine screws from the LEFT half of the
receiver shell (Fig. 9). When removing the machine screw from the barrel nut,
place your thumb on the screw head on the opposite side of the receiver shell to
keep it from rotating as you unscrew them. The stock fasteners consist of two
parts, a barrel nut and a machine screw.

From the time an individual picks up a firearm, that individual shooter becomes
a part of a system over which he or she has complete control. He or she is the
only part of the system that can make a gun safe – or unsafe. Hunting and tar-
get shooting are among the safest of all sports. This booklet is intended to make
them even safer – by re-emphasizing and reaffirming he basics of safe gun han-
dling and storage and by reminding each individual shooter that he or she is the
key to firearms safety. You can help meet this responsibility by enrolling in
hunter safety or shooting safety courses. You must constantly stress safety
when handling firearms, especially to children and non-shooters. Newcomers in
particular must be closely supervised when handling firearms with which they
may not be acquainted. Don’t be timid when it comes to gun safety. If you
observe anyone violating any safety precautions, you have an obligation to sug-
gest safer handling practices, such as those in this booklet. Please read these
rules carefully and follow the safety procedures outlined. Firearms safety is up
to you. Make no mistake about it.
