Shooting accidents are often caused by careless oversights such as failing to control the direction of the muzzle, failing to fully engage the safety, leaving ammunition in the chamber or using improper loads. These oversights can result in the destruction of life, limb or property. There's no calling back a bullet once it's been fired, so it's critical that you know the principles of safe gun handling and storage before you ever take your new Remington firearm out of the box. [. . . ] (See Picture 7). Picture 7 WARNING Always store the key to the security lock: (1) in a separate location away from the rifle; (2) in a secure location unknown and not accessible to others, especially children. Whether you secure your firearms by using the supplied security lock, a gun lock or a safe or some other mechanism, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to store your firearms in such a manner that children and other unauthorized persons cannot gain access to them. 6 Important Parts of Your Rifle Congratulations on your choice of a Remington® Model SPR 22 rifle double rifle. (See Picture 10). Picture 10 WARNING When operating the top lever, you must: (1) make sure the safety mechanism is in the "on" or "safe" position; (2) keep your fingers away from the trigger(s) and outside of the trigger guard; and (3) control the direction of the muzzle of the rifle. Trigger(s): SPR 22 side-by-side rifles from Remingtontm are available in a double-trigger configuration. Double-trigger Model SPR 22 rifles are patterned after classic side-by-side firearms with two triggers. The back trigger always fires the left barrels. Picture 11 WARNING Never pull the trigger until you are actually ready to fire. Keep your fingers off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard until you are ready to pull the trigger and fire the rifle. When opening and closing the action and when engaging or disengaging the safety mechanism, make sure your fingers are outside of the trigger guard and away from the trigger. WARNING Never fire a double-trigger rifle by using two fingers because you may inadvertently pull both triggers at the same time resulting in a near simultaneous firing of both barrels. Use your index finger to pull one of the triggers to fire the first shot. After that shot is fired, release the trigger and move your index finger to the other trigger to fire the second shot. 8 External Control Parts (cont'd) Extractors: Model SPR 22 rifles are equipped with extractors for extracting the fired rounds when the action is opened. The extractor is located in the back center of the barrels, and is a single post extractor which will extract both rounds fired or unfired when the action is opened. (See Picture 12, 13) Picture 12 Picture 13 The Forend: The forend is the wooden grip piece piece which attaches to the barrels assembly and locks the barrels assembly into the receiver. (See Picture 14) The forend has a mechanical latch which is used to lock and unlock the forend to the barrels assembly. Never attempt to fire your rifle without having the forend locked in its proper position on the barrels assembly.

Picture 17 9 Instructions For Assembly Of Rifle WARNING Before you begin to assemble the rifle, you MUST (1) look down the barrels from the breech end toward the muzzle end to make sure there is no ammunition in the chambers or obstructions in the barrels, and (2) make sure the safety is in the "safe" position. Your rifle was shipped with the barrels assembly (barrels and forend) detached from the receiver assembly. Then remove the forend from the barrels by pulling outward on the mechanical lever in the lower midsection of the forend and tipping the forend out and away from the barrels while pulling the lever out. Holding the barrels with one hand, engage the lower locking lug located on the lower portion of the barrels with the receiver. The half round cut out on the lower locking lug fits around the round bar in the forward lower portion of the slot in the receiver. With the barrels engaged into the receiver, swing the barrels up into the locked position. The top lever should move back to the center once the barrels are locked into position. Note: The top lever may not move completely to the center on a new rifle until the gun is broken in. The top lever must move at least three quarters of its full travel distance. (See Pictures 20, 21, 22). 10 Instructions For Assembly Of Rifle (cont'd) Picture 20 Picture 21 Picture 22 4. Now that the barrels have been locked into the receiver, you must reattach the forend to the barrels. [. . . ] Such adverse conditions can be caused by bore or chamber obstructions, propellant powder overloads or by defective, incorrect or improperly loaded and assembled cartridge components. Even the strongest firearm can be blown up as a result of excessive pressure. It is extremely dangerous to use a cartridge whose pressure is greater than that developed by cartridges loaded to industry standards. Ammunition (Cartridges) Notice We specifically disclaim responsibility for any damage, injury or death occurring in connection with or as the result of the use of the rifle with faulty, non-standard, remanufactured, hand loaded or reloaded ammunition or with cartridges other than factory cartridges for which the rifle was originally chambered. Lubrication Warning Firing a rifle with oil, grease or any other material even partially obstructing the bore may result in damage to the rifle and personal injury to the shooter and those nearby. If the powder charge of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant, they may not fully ignite yet the energy from the primer and/or powder may still be sufficient to push the projectile or wad into the bore where it may become lodged.
