FIREARM SAFETY

When a firearm discharges, the bullet or shot can strike a person,

resulting in death or serious bodily injury.

The three basic keys to safe handling of firearms:

1. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY
TO FIRE. If you maintain good trigger discipline, it is extremely
unlikely the firearm will fire.
2. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. Even if the
firearm discharges, if the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction, no
one will be injured.
3. NEVER TRUST ANY SAFETY MECHANISM. If you adopt the attitude
that you will not trust any safety mechanism, you will be vigilant
about keeping your finger off the trigger and keeping the muzzle
pointed in a safe direction.

KNOW YOUR TARGET. Never fire at targets at close range.

Ricochets can and do cause death or serious bodily injury. What
constitutes “close range” depends on many factors including
target material, bullet caliber and angle of impact.

KNOW WHAT IS BEHIND YOUR TARGET. Unless you are shooting into
a bullet trap designed to capture the type of ammunition you are
firing, projectiles may pass through the target and strike anyone or
anything beyond. Bullets can travel miles.
ALWAYS WEAR HEARING PROTECTION. Firearms are loud. The sound
they generate is greater indoors. Repeated exposure to loud noises
can cause deafness. Hearing protection is rated by decibel
reduction. Look for “dB” reduction of 30 or more when purchasing
ear protection. Modern ear protection can allow normal hearing until
the sound from the discharge reaches the ear. Layering hearing
protection, for example wearing 30db rated foam plugs along with
20db rated ear muffs, signicant protection can be achieved.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

ANDINFINGER
POINTED OFF THE TRIGGER.
A SAFE DIRECTION.

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. In normal operation, firearms emit
hot high-velocity gases, particles and metal. These materials flying
into your eye can cause blindness. Protect your vision with proper
eye protection. Any eye protection may be better than none, but look
for ANSI Z87.1-2003 certied eyewear for the best protection.
NEVER HANDLE FIREARMS WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Firearms are dangerous. Handling firearms
while impaired by drugs or alcohol is foolhardy and may result in
serious injury or death. This warning includes prescription drugs
that contain a warning about using machinery or driving while taking
the medication.
MODIFIED FIREARMS ARE DANGEROUS, AND USE CAN RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. “Trigger jobs,” polishing original
components or installing aftermarket parts can cause a firearm to
function in ways different than intended. Some such work may also
be illegal.
DAMAGED FIREARMS ARE DANGEROUS, AND USE CAN RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Repairs should always be made by a
qualied gunsmith or by a factory-authorized repair site. Work done
by those unfamiliar with the design can cause a firearm to function
in ways different than intended.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE OR CLEAN A LOADED FIREARM.
DOING SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
How often have we heard “But it went off while I was cleaning it!”
or, “I did not know it was loaded!” or, “It was jammed, and I tried to
take it apart!”?
IF A FIREARM GOES OFF, THERE WAS A ROUND OF AMMUNITION
IN THE CHAMBER. Period.“Clear” (or empty) the firearm of all
ammunition before disassembling or cleaning.
As owner of your new Citadel® firearm, you are responsible for (1)
keeping your finger off the trigger, (2) pointing the muzzle in a safe
direction, (3) remove ammunition source from firearm and (4) looking
and feeling in the chamber to confirm the firearm is empty. An empty
firearm cannot fire.

FIREARM SAFETY SYSTEMS
Firearms safety is supported by a system. With your firearm the
system is made up of the following:
1. You! Your involvement in safety cannot be overemphasized. No
safety component can keep your finger off the trigger and the
muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Also, you are the key to never
trusting any of the mechanical parts of the safety system.

2. Manual Safety –
The safety button is located at FIG 1

the front of the trigger guard

(fig. 1 & 2) and must be
manually pressed to the
desired position. The manual

FIREARMS STORAGE AND GUN LOCKS

How you secure your firearms is a personal choice based on the
unique circumstances in your home, business or vehicle and
the laws of the state where your firearm is located. Any choice
you make about securing your firearms will present advantages
and disadvantages. It is up to you to weigh those advantages and
disadvantages and choose which security method is best for you
and those around you.

WARNING – LOCKING DEVICES

• Always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction, including
when you are installing or removing your locking device.
• Always verify that your firearm is completely unloaded
(see page 20) before installing your locking device.
• Do not install locking devices in the trigger guard; always keep
your fingers and locking devices outside the trigger guard during
device installation and removal.
• Store firearms, ammunition and keys separately and securely,
away from children and careless adults; do not store your
firearms with the keys in the locking device.
• Do not attempt to work the action on your firearm with the
locking device in place; this may damage your firearm.
• While locking devices are an important aid to security measures,
they are not a substitute for safe firearm handling and proper
storage. Remember that any mechanical device can be bypassed
with enough time, knowledge, determination and equipment.
LOCKING DEVICES MUST BE USED SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
11
 12

It is important to use the locking device on your Citadel firearm!

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your fingers outside
the trigger guard at all times during installation of the locking device!

To install the Factory-Supplied Locking Device:

1. Remove the magazine from
your rifle.
2. Open the action completely
and verify that the firearm
is completely unloaded and
contains no cartridges or
cartridge cases! Use the bolt FIG 5
cocking lever to keep the action
open during installation of the
locking device.
3. Insert the cable directly in your rifle as shown in figure 5.
4. To lock: With the key turned to the farthest clockwise position,
insert the loose end of the cable into the lock. Turn the key
counterclockwise and remove the key.
5. Once the lock is securely closed, pull firmly on the lock to test
the connection and be sure it is locked. Do not leave or store your
firearm with the key in the lock! Store your locked, unloaded
firearm and the key in secure, separate locations, away from
ammunition, children and unauthorized adults.

Never leave your keys in the

lock when the lock is installed
on the firearm.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

 Failure to secure a firearm may result in injury or death. Properly
securing a firearm means storing your firearm unloaded, decocked
and securely locked, with all ammunition in a separate location.

AMMUNITION

Using the wrong ammunition in your firearm can result in serious bodily
injury and damage to your firearm. Make certain the ammunition you load
in the chamber is the same caliber as is marked on the barrel.

WARNING – AMMUNITION AND INDUSTRY STANDARDS

Use only clean, dry factory-loaded ammunition. Old, damaged, wet or

oily ammunition may fire at pressures higher than industry standard,
causing injury to you and bystanders or damage to your firearm.
Do not use reloaded ammunition in your firearm. Its firing pressures
are unknown and may well exceed industry standard, causing injury
to you and bystanders or damage to your firearm.
Odd sounds are signs of trouble. If a round “does not sound right”
when it goes off, stop firing right away. A bullet may be stuck in the
barrel. Firing the firearm in this condition may cause pressures
higher than industry standard, causing injury to you and bystanders
or damage to your firearm.
If you hear any odd sounds when firing immediately stop firing.
If there is any reason to suspect that the barrel is obstructed,
immediately unload the firearm and clear the chamber in
accordance with instructions located on page 20 in this manual.
It is not sufcient to merely look in the chamber. The bullet may
be lodged in the barrel where it cannot easily be seen. Do not fire
the firearm again, and take to a qualied gunsmith or contact
Legacy Sports International.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
13
 14

If the bore is obstructed, DO NOT attempt to shoot it out by using

another shot shell or cartridge or by blowing it out with a blank.
Such techniques can generate excessive pressure, damage the
firearm and cause serious injury.

The use of reloaded, “remanufactured”, hand-loaded, or other

nonstandard ammunition voids all warranties. Improperly loaded
ammunition voids all warranties. Improperly loaded ammunition can
be extremely dangerous. Severe damage to the firearm and serious
injury to the shooter or to others may result. Always use ammunition
that complies with the industry performance standards established
by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute, Inc.,
of the United States, (SAAMI).

MANUAL SAFETY
This firearm is manufactured
with a manual safety – USE IT!

 The Manual Safety can only be engaged when the hammer is cocked.

Do not touch the trigger while the safety button is being engaged.
Never keep pressure on the trigger while closing the bolt, even if the
safety catch is engaged.

Trigger – The rifle will fire when the safety button is disengaged
(the red band will be visible) and the trigger is pulled. The trigger
pull has been set at the factory, in accordance with international
safety standards. Any adjustment in the parts of the safety
mechanism, trigger assembly or disconnector, should be made
by the factory, or by a competent gunsmith, in order to ensure the
safety of the rifle. Never put your finger on the trigger if you are not
ready to fire at the target.

The danger of personal injury or death associated with cartridges,

fired or unfired, becoming stuck in a firearm can be avoided by
using new, clean, factory loaded ammunition and never forcing
ammunition into a chamber. If you have to force ammunition into
the chamber, something is wrong! Stop! And take the rifle to a
qualied gunsmith.

If a cartridge is stuck in the barrel and you are unsure if it fired

or not: Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Treat it as a live
round and handle in accordance with “WHAT TO DO IF FIREARM
FAILS TO FIRE” ON PAGE 21.

WARNING – ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED

If dropped or struck, the firearm may fire.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

 If dropped or struck the firearm should be inspected by a trained
armorer/gunsmith for a complete function check. After the
firearm was dropped or struck, mechanisms, including automatic
safeties, may not function as intended resulting in accidental
death or serious injury.

ADJUSTING SIGHTS
Check the firearm to ensure it is unloaded and the muzzle is
pointed in a safe direction.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Always be sure the firearm is pointed at the target and away from
other people, buildings and vehicles before firing. Do not fire into
water. When finished shooting, immediately set the manual safety
to the safe position.

Magazine Installation:
First become familiar with the rifle by installing and removing an
unloaded magazine and by learning to keep the bolt in the open position.
Ensure the Manual Safety button is pressed fully to the right, when
RED engaged the band will not be visible, visually and physically
check the chamber and receiver area to ensure the firearm is clear
(unloaded).
With an installed empty magazine, the magazine follower will
keep the bolt to the rear in an open position. If the magazine is not
installed, grasp the bolt cocking lever and pull the bolt fully rearward
then push the operating handle inward toward the receiver to keep
the bolt open. (To release the bolt pull the bolt cocking lever to the
rear and outward away from the receiver to release.)

Removal of the magazine will not unload the firearm. Removing

the magazine will not remove a cartridge from the chamber. A
cartridge in the firearm’s chamber can still be fired, even after the
firearm’s magazine has been removed. After removing the magazine
ALWAYS visually and physically inspect the chamber and receiver to
ensure the firearm is completely unloaded.

Rifle does not have a magazine disconnector "safety". They are

capable of firing with the magazine removed.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

Magazine Loading
Load the magazine by inserting
one cartridge at a time, pressing
against the plastic follower, spring
and rearwards until the cartridge
is fixed between the lips of the
magazine. Repeat the operation
until the magazine is full or the
desired number of cartridges have
been loaded.

Engage Safety
Point the rifle in a safe direction.
Using the bolt cocking lever pull
the bolt to its most rearwards
position and let it return freely to
its forward position. The hammer
will be cocked and the manual
safety can now be engaged.
Engage the safety by pushing FIG 6
RED button from left to right. The
band will not be visible. (fig. 6)

Rifle Loading
Insert a loaded magazine into the rifle. Pull the bolt again to its
rearward position and let it freely return forward. The forward
movement of the bolt will pick up one cartridge from the magazine
and insert it in the barrel chamber. The rifle will be ready to fire, but
the safety will still be engaged.

The rifle is now loaded.

1. Sight your target. Disengage the manual safety by pushing
the button from right to left. The RED band will now be visible.
Pull the trigger and fire.
2. The pressure generated by the powder combustion will push
the bolt to its rearward position, extracting and ejecting the
fired cartridge case. Upon reaching its most rearward position,
the hammer will be cocked again and the bolt recoil spring will
push the bolt forward, taking a new cartridge from the
magazine and chambering it. The rifle will again be ready to fire.
This cycle will be repeated every time the trigger is pulled and
until there are no cartridges in the magazine.
3. As the rifle was designed to semi-automatic fire only, it is
mandatory to relieve pressure on the trigger after each shot in
order to allow the disconnector to again connect the trigger to
the firing mechanism.
4. After the last shot has been
fired, the magazine follower
will keep the bolt in the open
position. If the magazine is
withdrawn from the rifle, the FIG 7
bolt will close.
To keep the bolt in an open
position without the magazine, Magazine Follower
pull the bolt to its most
rearward position and press
the bolt lever towards the
receiver (in the direction
shown by the engraved arrow)
(fig. 7).
With the bolt in this position, FIG 8

if a magazine is in the rifle,

pressing the magazine catch,
the magazine will drop freely
from the receiver. (fig. 7, 8 & 9).

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

5. After inserting a new loaded

magazine into the rifle (don't
forget to first engage the
manual safety) if the bolt is
locked in its open position
by the bolt lever, to chamber FIG 9
a cartridge, just pull bolt
rearward and away from
the receiver (in the opposite
direction of the engraved
arrow) and let the bolt move
freely forward.

The rifle is now loaded, but the safety catch will be engaged.

6. To close the bolt without loading the rifle, proceed as described

above but keep the magazine removed from the rifle.

UNLOADING YOUR FIREARM

To interrupt shooting and unload the rifle, engage the Manual Safety
by pressing the safety button from left to right (RED band no longer
visible). Remove the magazine, pull the bolt to its most rearward
position, extracting and ejecting the cartridge in the chamber.
As a safety procedure, every time shooting is interrupted or the rifle
is unloaded, we strongly recommend keeping the bolt locked in the
open position.

Always make sure the breech bolt will open in a safe direction and
that the unfired cartridges will fall on a safe place. Cartridges
ejecting from the chamber can cause injury. ALWAYS INSPECT
THE BARREL AND BORE VISUALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
CHAMBER IS EMPTY.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

WHAT TO DO IF FIREARM FAILS
TO FIRE
1. Misfires – If you squeeze the trigger and the cartridge does not
fire, remain in the shooting position and wait 30 seconds. Then,
cycle the bolt. This will eject the misfired cartridge from the gun
and load another cartridge if magazine is present.
2. Underpowered cartridge – An underpowered cartridge is unusual if
the ammunition is fresh, clean, and factory loaded. However, if you
hear an unusual sound or low report, you should stop immediately,
wait a full 30 seconds and check, visually, both the chamber and
bore to make sure there is no obstruction.

DISASSEMBLY
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. In normal operation, firearms emit
hot high-velocity gases, particles and metal. These materials flying
into your eye can cause blindness. Protect your vision with proper
eye protection. Any eye protection may be better than none, but look
for ANSI Z87.1-2003 certied eyewear for the best protection.
To remove magazine from rifle, press the magazine catch forward
(in the direction of the barrel). The fingers of either hand can be used
to press the magazine catch. It is easier to remove the magazine
from rifle if the bolt is locked in its most rearward position by its
cocking lever.
1. Remove magazine.
2. Pull the bolt to its most rearward position to extract and eject
any cartridge that might be in the chamber. Check to ensure no
ammunition remains in the chamber.
3. Push the bolt lever handle “in” to lock it in the open position.
Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver remove the three screws
located at pistol grip and front and back of the trigger guard
and pull the metal parts away from the stock.
4. With a pin punch or similar tool, remove the two pins located at
the side of the receiver (see fig. 10). Be careful not to damage
the black finish on the parts.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
21
22

5. Pull the trigger assembly out of the receiver. Carefully release

the bolt lever handle and slowly allow the bolt to move forward
until it stops. Remove the red buffer from behind the bolt.
6. Lay the rifle over your right hand with the ejection port upwards
and the barrel pointing to the left. Using the thumb and
forefinger of your left hand hold the bolt lever and pull it
backwards until you can introduce the forefinger of your right
hand in between the bolt and the barrel (see fig. 11). With the
forefinger of your right hand pull the bolt out of the receiver until
the bolt lever can be removed through the ejection port (fig. 12).
Now you can pull the bolt completely out of the receiver.
Remove the bolt spring and its guide rod. Left handed shooters
should invert hands position as described above.
7. No other disassembling should be done by the shooter. If service
is required, contact a qualied gunsmith.

ASSEMBLY
1. Assemble first the bolt spring and then its guide rod into the
existing hole in the bolt. Adjust the guide rod point into its
place in the receiver and using forefinger of the right hand
push the bolt partially backwards and introduce it into the
receiver. Before completely introducing the bolt into the receiver,
reassemble the bolt lever into its lodgment through ejection part.
2. Reassemble the plastic buffer into its location.
3. Pull the bolt to its most rearward position and lock the bolt lever
to the receiver.
4. Reassemble the trigger assembly into the receiver, front part
first. Align the front holes and insert the front pin. Lower the rear
part of the trigger guard into the receiver, align the rear holes
and insert the rear pin.
5. If any difculty is found to lower the
rear part of the trigger assembly
into the receiver, press on ejector
to force it to move into its groove
in the receiver (fig. 13). FIG 13

6. Reassemble the metal parts into the stock, insert the two take
down screws and tighten them. Do not over tighten.
7. Check if the rifle is functioning properly.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning: (1) point the muzzle in a safe direction, (2) keep
your finger off the trigger, (3) Manual Safety in “ON” position, (4)
remove the magazine, (5) pull the bolt to its most backward
position and lock the bolt in the open position, (6) visually and
physically inspect the chamber and bore to ensure the firearm is
free and clear and safe to perform cleaning.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
23
Cleaning – When the rifle leaves the factory, its metal parts are
protected by a coat of very adherent oil. This coating, especially
inside of the barrel, must be removed before using the rifle. The oil
on the outside surfaces should also be removed when the packing
box is opened because the oil is very sticky and it easily retains dust
and other solid impurities from the air.
Cleaning and Lubricating:
The Trigger Assembly, Bolt and Receiver – Clean with a brush
and adequate solvent and dry with a clean cloth. In the trigger guard
special attention should be given to the bolt sliding surfaces and to
the feed ramp. The bolt and the receiver must be carefully cleaned
and free of any solid residues. Solid residues in the bolt/receiver
areas may prevent bolt from closing properly and misre may result.
After cleaning, lubricate all parts with light gun oil.

Use only oil or lubricants designed to be used on firearms.

Avoid excess lubrication.

Barrel – As it is not possible to clean the barrel from breech to
muzzle, be very careful while introducing the cleaning rod into the
barrel muzzle, thus avoiding any damage to the barrel crown.
Use a cleaning rod with a clean cloth patch or a brush suitable
for .22 cal. moistened with solvent. Push the patch/brush through
the barrel. Repeat several times, using a new patch each time, until
the patches do not show any residue.
When using a brush, use a brass cleaning brush suitable for .22 cal.,
push through the barrel several times.

After finishing the cleaning, make sure that there is no obstruction

in the barrel. Never try to remove obstructions in the barrel by
firing the rifle.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
24
If the rifle is to be stored for a long time it should be cleaned, and
both inside and outside surfaces should be lubricated.

PRECAUTIONS, AND CARE FOR

YOUR RIFLE
When you store your rifle, make sure that the magazine and the
chamber are empty. Keep the bolt closed and the hammer down in
order to relieve pressure on their springs.
Handling leaves moisture prints that can cause metal parts to rust.
Abrupt changes in the temperature cause condensation and moisture.
Wipe the barrel and other metal parts with light oil after handling. The
receiver and trigger guard will not rust as they are made of aluminum
die castings. However, their surface coating must be well cared for in
order to avoid scratches.
Check your rifle periodically in order to detect any sign of rusting
and then remove it before it causes permanent damage to the rifle's
metal surface.

All firearms require periodic maintenance and inspection which may reveal
a need for adjustment or repair. Have your firearm checked by a qualied

functioning, undue wear, or corrosion of some components may not be
apparent from external examination. If you notice ANY mechanical malfunction,
do NOT continue to use the firearm. UNLOAD the firearm and take it to a
qualied gunsmith immediately.

Our Service Department maintains a full complement of replacement parts for

our firearms of current manufacture. Even though most gunsmiths have the
knowledge, training and ability to make the necessary repairs to your firearm,

your firearm. Remember, unauthorized adjustments or parts replacement can
void your warranty. THIS FIREARM IS A PRECISION MECHANISM AND THE
IMPROPER FITTING OF PARTS OR IMPROPER MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT

Therefore, the purchaser and/or installer of parts must accept full responsibility
for the correct adjustment of and function of the firearm after such installation
has been made or attempted.
