FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE
YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE
If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the
target for 60 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause a “hang fire”
and the cartridge will go off after a short pause. If it still fails to fire, keep muzzle
pointed in safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as you attempt to
unload your firearm.
Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Always be sure
the barrel is free of any obstruction.
Use the correct ammunition for your gun. Do NOT use the wrong size or wrong
strength ammunition in your firearm.
Teach children: 1. NOT to touch guns, bullets, cartridges, shells, flares or any
explosive device and 2. That if they discovery such a dangerous item or weapon,
they must immediately report its location to their parents, school teacher or
police.
Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of someone
else. Be careful with your firearm — an accident is almost always the result of
not following basic safety rules.
USED FIREARMS - Firearms are sometimes altered to work incorrectly, or
parts may be removed, lost or replaced with incorrect parts. If you got your
USSG INC. firearm as a used gun, BEFORE USING IT you should take it to a
good gunsmith who knows USSG INC. firearms, and have him examine it.
WRITE USSG INC. concerning any items or circumstances which you don’t
understand and which might relate to your safety and the operation of your
firearm at: USSG INC., 411 HAWK St, Rockledge, FL 32955 [phone].
W A R N I N G (POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTIONS)
BEFORE LOADING or firing a shotgun, examine the bore and the firing chamber
to be certain they are clean and free of any obstruction. Even a heavy coat of oil,
grease, snow or water may result in damage to the firearm and injury to the
shooter and/or persons near the firearm. A misfire or unusual sound upon firing
is a signal to cease firing and to examine the chamber and bore. If there is any
obstruction, clear the obstruction and clean the bore and chamber before firing.
Any bore obstruction, even if it is only partly blocked, may cause the gun to blow
up if it is fired, or may cause damage to the gun such as a bulged barrel. To
avoid injury or death to the shooter or bystanders, check the barrel before shooting
or if a shot does not sound normal.
