BEFORE USING YOUR REVOLVER

This revolver has been treated with protective oils before leaving the

factory and must be thoroughly cleaned before use.

Wipe all exterior surfaces with a clean soft cloth to remove excess oil.

Swing the cylinder out of the frame by pulling the ejector rod (located

under the barrel) forward and with finger pressure,' push the cylinder to

the left and out of the frame.

Using a cleaning rod and patches of the proper size for your revolver,

push the patches through the bore, starting at the muzzle end, untilthe

patches come out clean. Clean each chamber of the cylinder in the same

manner, starting at the breech end. If the revolver is to be slored priorto

using, a smanamount of gun oil should be placed on a patch and passed

through the bore and chambers. Be sure to clean again before use.

Return the cylinder into the frame by pulling the ejector rod forward and

carefully swinging the cylinder into the frame. Release the ejector rod,

making sure the cylinder is locked in place.

HOW THE FIRING MECHANISM OPERATES

All revolver models manufactured by New England Firearms have a

built-in "transfer-bar" type mechanism and may be fired in either the

"single" or "double" action mode. When the hammer is in the fully forward

position and the trigger is released, there is no contact made between the

hammer and the firing pin. This is the normal carrying position.

When the hammer is manually pulled back fully into the cocked position

(single action), the transfer-bar moves upward to form a bridge between

the hammer and the firing pin. When the hammer is in the cocked position

and the trigger is pulled and held, the hammer faUs striking the transfer~

bar, transferring the hammer blow to the firing pin. As soon as the trigger

is released, the transfer-bar drops down causing a void between the

hammer and firing pin. Pulling the trigger with the hammer fully forward

(double action), cocks and releases the hammer automatically with the

transfer~bar acting in the same manner as when fired single action.

AMMUNITION TO USE

USE ONLY FACTORY LOADED CARTRIDGES OF THE CORRECT

CALIBER IN YOUR REVOLVER.

22 L.R. Any 22 Long Rifle, 22 Long or 22 Short cartridges

may be used.

Swing the cylinder out of the frame as described In "BEFORE USING

YOUR REVOLVER",and insert a cartridge of the oorrect caliber into each

chamber of the cylinder. Carefully return the cylinder into the frame,

making sure it is locked in position. The revolver is now ready to fire. BE

ejector rod to the rear, collecting the cartridges in your hand.

Always handle live ammunition carefully to prevent accidental discharge.

FIRING THE REVOLVER

a safe direction, take aim and fire the revolver using either single or

double action mode. If you should decide not to fire after the revolver has

been cocked in the single action mode. lower the revolver and carefully,

hold the hammer to the rear with the thumb and pull the trigger. Slowly let

the hammer move forward and release the trigger when the hammer has

moved forward approximately 1/4". Practice this procedure with an

windage adjustment screw located on the right side of the rear sight.

down, turn the elevation adjustment screw located on the top of the rear

sight. Turn the screw dockwise to lower the point of impact and counter-

ck>ckwise to raise the point of impact. Each "click" of the adjustment

screws changes the point of impact approximately3/4" at a rangeof 25

yards.
