Frequently asked questions

What is the primary purpose of the mechanical safety device?

It is a trigger block, sear block, hammer block, or firing pin block mechanism designed to place the firearm in a safer status, but it is not a guarantee that the firearm will not fire.

What should be done if a cartridge fails to fire?

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction for at least 30 seconds, open the action to remove the cartridge, and inspect the primer. If the primer is not indented, have the firearm examined by a qualified gunsmith.

Where can supplemental instructions for special edition rifles be found?

They must be used in conjunction with this manual, and if missing, they can be obtained by contacting the manufacturer or downloading them from winchesterguns.com.
