Violations of these export laws are subject to severe criminal penalties. NOTE: This operator manual covers, both the Patrol Carbine, and the Patrol Pistols S.W.O.R.D International, Inc. 610 E. Glendale Avenue Sparks, NV 89431 775-343-1090 Specifications and models subject to change without notice. September 2020 S.W.O.R.D International; MK 15 Mod 1 Patrol Operator Manual : Issue 1.2 Page 2 Carbine SAFETY RULES The following safety rules are placed in this manual by S.W.O.R.D. International, Inc. as an important reminder that firearm safety is your responsibility. Please read this operator's manual before handling your firearm. Firearms can be dangerous and can potentially cause serious injury, damage to property, or death, if handled improperly. • Treat every firearm as if it were loaded. • Never index your muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy. • Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire. • Know your target, what is beyond it, and all surroundings. • Always wear hearing and eye protection when shooting. • Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead, a substance known to be associated with birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious injury. • Be sure that your barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting. • Use only clean, high quality factory loaded ammunition in good condition. WARNING Before starting an inspection and/or moving down range, be sure to clear the firearm. To be considered SAFE before disassembly, cleaning, inspecting, transporting, or storing, the firearm must be cleared. With the bolt carrier assembly locked to the rear or in its forward position, if the firearm is dropped or jarred with a loaded magazine in place, it could chamber a round. When handling your firearm ALWAYS ensure it is pointed in a safe direction. Do not load with a hot chamber. If your firearm fails to fire with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel, remove the round. If you cannot remove it within 10 seconds, remove magazine and wait 15 minutes with the firearm pointed in a safe direction. This way a round cooking off won’t harm you. ALWAYS keep your face away from the ejection port while clearing, especially with a hot chamber. DO NOT OVERHEAT BARRELS. Sustained firing of the firearm will rapidly raise the temperature of the barrel to a critical point. Firing 140 rounds, rapidly and continuously, will raise the temperature of the barrel to the COOKOFF point. At this temperature, any live round remaining in the chamber for any reason may cook off (detonate) in as short as 10 seconds. S.W.O.R.D International; MK 15 Mod 1 Patrol Operator Manual : Issue 1.2 Page 3 Carbine WARNING If the cook-off point/temperature is reached, the firearm should be immediately cleared and allowed to cool. Sustained rate of fire for the firearm is 12-15 rounds per minute. This is the rate of fire that the firearm can continue to deliver for an indefinite length of time without serious overheating. Sustained rate of fire should never be exceeded except under circumstances of extreme urgency. Exceeding the sustained rate of fire can result in a catastrophic failure of the barrel, resulting in injury or death to personnel. When disassembling the magazine, turn the magazine away from your face, the spring is under compression. Always make sure your firearm is clear and on SAFE before moving down range. If an audible ‘POP’ or reduced RECOIL is experienced during firing, immediately CEASE FIRE. Either condition could indicate an incomplete powder burn and/or a bullet stuck in the bore. If unsure how to correct this issue contact an experienced gunsmith. DO NOT fire if water is present in barrel. DO NOT interchange bolts between firearms. Be sure the cam pin is installed in the bolt group. If it isn’t, your firearm can still fire and will damage the firearm. INTERESTED IN FIREARMS TRAINING?

Aftermarket modifications, improper use and improper maintenance will void this warranty. Repairs, maintenance or replacement under this warranty is at S.W.O.R.D International’s discretion. A service or handling charge may be made. This warranty is non- transferable. This warranty is void if the firearm has been abused, misused, or damaged; fired with hand loaded, reloaded, improper ammunition, or with an obstruction in the barrel; or damaged by failure to perform proper maintenance. This warranty does not apply to normal wear of any parts, including their surface finish, or if unauthorized repair or alteration has been performed. The terms of this warranty cannot be changed except in writing by S.W.O.R.D International. Wholesalers or Dealers, unless authorized by S.W.O.R.D International in advance, are not authorized to make any warranty repair or adjustment on behalf of S.W.O.R.D International. In the very unlikely event that S.W.O.R.D International should ever issue a recall of your firearm, S.W.O.R.D International will post a notice on our website. www.SWORD-int.com S.W.O.R.D International; MK 15 Mod 1 Patrol Operator Manual : Issue 1.2 Page 7 Carbine AMMUNITION WARNING: S.W.O.R.D specifically disclaims any responsibilities for any damage or injury that should occur because of, or as a result of, the use of faulty, remanufactured, or reloaded (hand loaded) ammunition, or of cartridges other than those for for which the rifle was originally chambered for. For the operator’s safety and for platform reliability, S.W.O.R.D International, Inc. rifles are designed to fire quality, factory-loaded ammunition, loaded to NATO or SAMMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute) specifications for use specifically in center fire rifles. The following guidelines should be considered when selecting the correct ammunition for your rifle: 1. Be sure the ammunition you have selected is compatible with your rifle-proper caliber, cartridge, bullet weight, etc. Caliber markings on the S.W.O.R.D Rifles are located on the right side of the barrel just in front of the upper receiver, visible through the rail windows. 2. Prior to loading the magazine and chamber, carefully inspect all cartridges for the following abnormalities: • Cracked, split, dirty or corroded cases • Improperly seated projectiles and/or primers • Damaged projectiles 3. Do not attempt to fire a cartridge in which the projectile has been forced back into the case. Upon firing, this condition may result in increased chamber pressure above safe limits. 4. Do not fire ammunition through a rifle that: • Is assembled with corrosive primer and/or propellent • Is exposed to oil, grease, water or direct sunlight. If possible, remove contaminants before use and cool down ammunition exposed to direct sunlight or heat. (Exposure to sources of heat could raise the chamber pressure of the cartridge above safe limits.) Failure to follow all of the above listed recommendations may result in reliability issues, operator injury, and Will Void Manufacturers Warranty.

  • Half Way Down the Trail to Hell
    Half Way Down The Trail To Hell A Wartime Remembrance in Three Parts By Stephen E. Kirkland i Prologue “The danger, being around veterans, the memories are so selective and so heroic that you’ve got to be careful talking to a guy like me.” George Herbert Walker Bush A while back I discovered the Library of Congress is conducting a program called The Veterans History Project. The mission of the project is the collection and preservation of veteran’s wartime recollections and documents before they are lost forever. Like many wartime veterans, I concentrated on getting on with my life. I needed a job that would allow me to marry, buy a house and raise a family. I didn’t feel anything I had experienced in Vietnam would contribute to these goals, and I felt that, for the most part, people who hadn’t served didn’t know or even care what I had seen or done. The country’s attitude was different than with the Gulf War veterans and I deflected the few inquires that were made, especially the ones that contained the words “Did ya’ kill anybody?” I was too busy dealing with the present to spend a lot of time staring into the past. Now, almost four decades after returning home, the time has come to look back and try to recreate a piece of personal history, albeit history filtered though my water colored memories. I’ve relied on a number of sources for this remembrance, not the least of which were letters that I wrote home.

    Loading A Magazine..... • Use only quality ammunition suitable for your firearm. Examine each cartridge – particularly around the primer. • Look for dents, scratches, and other signs of damage. Do not load damaged ammunition. • With the magazine facing forward as shown in the illustration, place a round between the lips of the magazine with the bullet tip forward. Push the round down until it is held by the magazine lips. • If necessary, give the round a slight push backward to seat it against the back edge of the magazine lips. Place next round on top of previous round and repeat steps until desired number of rounds are loaded. We recommend NOT USING Surplus ammo. CAUTION: If using hand loads, Noreen Firearms LLC is not responible for damage to rifle or personnel.
