The .adttled 10- 22 sttll retains the clos-

When f i r i ng the .adified weapon. the follow-
Ing sequence of events OCCur:
(1) COCll1l6 TIlE WEAPON
I. Ass .. l ng there Is a 1000ded IIIgulne I n place.

assembly) whi ch r Ohtes the h._r rea .... rd.
This letlon ca.presses the recoil spr ing.
I
2. As the hamer almost cOlllpletes its rurward
rototion, the bottom of hallll1er tonUcts
the top of the disconnector which in turn pivots
downward, releas i ng the sear to ...,tate upward
Into p<lsition against the ha_r. The engagement
t>etween the halllller and sear is not yet set at
this ti. i>ecause the halDer is fully rotated
rearwaN.
3. [luring this saM Initial rearward IIIOvement
of the bolt and halllfter. the r elnse lever Ind
catch also move rearward slightly. The travel
of these parH is lilllited by the ejector pin
which Is posHioned through a slot In the r el ease
lever. Both parts have independent torsion
springs which forces them to ...,tate rearward.
The stationary arlll of these springs locates
againH the ejector pin. As the bolt and hallfner
cOIIIplete their rearward tNvel, the engagement
surface of the catch is against the ha!mer rudy
to engage the ' burst' notch.
4. When
released.
it forwa r d.
the bolt is fully retract ed. it 15
Recoil spring tension then propels
5. At this $l1Il' In$tant, the hanner (rel eased
from contact with the bot tom of the bolt) rotates
forward SlilhtlY and securely engages the sear
and catch , both previously p<lsltloned) In their
respective engageaent notches.
As the bolt Is moving f orward, it strips
a live cartridge frOlll the lIIagazine and begins
to chami>er it.
"
7. At a given point just l>efore the bolt closes
coopletely, the top of the r eluse lever (havlny
previously moved r earward) contact with
a radiused slot ,",-chi ned in the ootto- of the
bolt. As the bolt continues forward IIOUon,
the release lever rotates forward, Through
engag9l!nt with the catch by of a laterally
pOSitioned roll pin, the release lever rotates
the catch out of with hammer.
(Soth the catch and release lever pivot on a
COQlOn pin) .
At this pOint, the weapon is ready t o fire.
(2) SEIlI- AUTO FI RE
I. The weapon is now in a loaded and cocked
j)Osltion as established In the sequence above.
2. The safety should now be !lr)ved to the "OFF"
position. (The safety i s unaltered in this
MOdification and fUnctions ident ically as before.
By moving the safety to "OFF," the lower lug
of the Sear Is provided with clearance to enable
downward travel when the trigger is depressed).
3. The selector lever must be j)Osltloned In
the r earward, or "semi" position. In this posi-
tion iI lug on the b-ottom of the selector lever
phot will be pO$ltloned In iI downward j)Osltion
and will lIlIH the upwar d travel of the rur
section of the trigger.
