Manually
Operating the
Magazine
3
The following section describes how to operate a magazine.
There are two knobs located on each end of the magazine. You can move
the slots within the magazine by turning these two knobs and aligning a
slot with one of the two openings. You can use the openings in the
magazine to load and unload cartridges from the eight slots within each
magazine.
To load cartridges into a fully ejected magazine:
1
To load cartridges into the magazine, center a slot within one of the
openings located on the side of the magazine.
2
Properly orient the cartridge.
3
Fully insert the cartridge into the slot.
When pushing the cartridge into the slot, you will feel a small
resistance (detente) until the cartridge is properly latched into the
slot. All forward progress stops when the cartridge is fully inserted.
You can remove a cartridge in the same manner as you insert it. Use the
knobs to center the desired slot(s) in the openings on the side of the
magazine. Using your thumb and index finger, pull out the cartridge.
You will feel a small resistance, but continue to pull the cartridge until it
comes free.
To unload cartridges from a fully ejected magazine:
1
Pull the ejected magazine until the large upper slot is accessible.
2
Rotate the desired slot into position (centered in the opening). Either
load or unload a cartridge to that location. Do not expose more than
the large upper opening when manually operating the magazine.
Note:
It is recommended that you fully remove the magazine to load
and unload cartridges. If the magazine is not fully removed,
do not rotate the magazine.
Note:
There is a keying feature in each slot that only allows you
to fully insert the cartridge one way.
