SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1) Uberti lever action rifles should never be carried with a cartridge in the chamber.
2) Carrying this style of rifle with a cartridge in the chamber can result in an acciden-
tal discharge if the firearm is accidentally dropped or if the hammer is struck.
3) The lever locking mechanism is designed to prevent an accidental discharge.
However, no mechanical device is foolproof and, accordingly, these procedures
must be followed.
4) Due to the fact that in a tubular magazine rifle the cartridges are stacked one
behind the other, only factory ammunition should be used.
5) We recommend against using old ammunition in these rifles as primers, powder
and brass cartridge cases can deteriorate and cause damage to the rifle or injury
to the shooter or others.
6) Uberti assumes no liability for incidents occurring through the use of reloaded
ammunitions.
Use ONLY COMMERCIALLY loaded cartridges that have been loaded in accor-
dance with SAAMI-C.I.P. standards.

TO LOAD THE FIREARM (4) These firearms have been equipped with an additional safety system (Fig. 5),

then pull it back. The cartridge that was in the chamber should be automatically eject-
