E ACI G Before attempting to replace the bolt, the following points must be noted : (i) Hold the bolt with the knob of the bolt lever upwards and pointing to the right. (ii) Ensure that the ring of the cocking piece (15) is vertical and in alignment with the lower portion of the bolt lever. (iii) The ejector (16) must be on top of the bolt, and in line with the lower portion of the bolt lever. This will auto- matically position the extractor (17) correctly. Lay the bolt on the bolt way, taking care that it is perfectly flat. Push the bolt forward as far as it will go, then turn the bolt lever down to the right. It is important to ensure that it is com- pletely pressed down. The mainspring (20) should now be released by pressing the trigger (22), and the safety catch will be applied by rotating it to the rear.
PLACING ON AND REMOVING THE MAGAZINE
ACI G O Hold the magazine in the right hand, fingers on the right-hand side, thumb on the left, with the larger portion of the magazine to the rear and the magazine platform downwards. Tilt the rear of the magazine upwards, inserting the forward portion into the magazine way, allowing the two lugs on the for- ward position of the magazine to rest on the sides of the maga- zine way. Push the magazine fully forward, pressing the rear portion downwards until it is engaged by the magazine catch.
EMO I G Place the palm of the right hand in rear of the magazine catch, the fingers and thumb assuming a similar position to that when placing on. Press the magazine catch with the palm, when the rear of the magazine will be released. The magazine can now be removed.

I I G The method of firing is the same as with the .300 rifle. The grip must be firmer than that with the ordinary rifle. Once a round has been fired there must be instant reloading. This is most important, and must be practised until a high stand- ard of efficiency is reached, otherwise a second shot may not be possible. Having fired the last round in the magazine, and on attempt- ing to reload, it will be found that the bolt will not go forward owing to the bolt coming in contact with the raised portion of the magazine platform. This raised portion lies in front of the rear portion of the magazine.

It also acts as a hold-all for the cleaning materials. Cleaning Rod.—The rod is sectioned to permit of its being carried in the breech cover. It consists of handle, through which is the cord, attached to the handle is one of the sections of the rod. There are three other sections, the cord passing through each. At the end of the rod there is a small section which is externally threaded to take the loop. To assemble, hold the handle in the left hand and pull the cord. This has the effect of joining up all the sectioned pieces. To enable it to be retained in position, fix the cord in the slot provided in the handle. The rod is carried in the long pocket on the right-hand side of the breech cover. Loop.—This is a solid brass tube internally threaded at one end for securing to the rod. The other end has an eyelet for the insertion of the flannelette. The loop is carried in the pocket on the left-hand side of the breech cover; flannelette may also be carried in this pocket. Pullthrough.—This consists of a 9-foot length of rope with a loop in the centre to take either gauze or flannelette. If no rod is available it would be carried in the long pocket on the right-hand side of the breech cover. Gauze.—This is a piece of fine wire mesh 3½ in. by 31 in. It will be used in exactly the same way as the gauze is used on the Service rifle. The gauze is carried in the same pocket as the loop. Wire Brush. This is a very stiff wire brush, used for cleaning the barrel. At one end there is a small brass tube internally threaded to enable it to be connected to the cleaning rod. This brush is carried in the same pocket as the loop. Bristle Brush.—The brush is secured to a long wire handle. It is used for cleaning the chamber. This brush is carried with the cleaning rod. Combination Tool.—This tool is shaped like a spanner at one end, to be used for the removal of the recoil reducer (this should A AC ME O OYS A I A K only be removed by a qualified armourer). The other end is bent and shaped like a screwdriver to permit the removal of the I E O E MI I I G WI .22 deflector. AMMU I IO The combination tool is carried with the cleaning rod.

It is also advisable to dry out the recoil reducer, barrel of the anti-tank rifle; it also acts as a support for the nose- but it is realized that this will not always be possible. cap of the .22 rifle. It consists of a semi-circular portion, which is slotted to fit over the foresight bracket. This semi-circular portion has a right-hand extension, which is also slotted to take the bayonet standard of the .22 rifle. EA ACKE The rear bracket is attached to the butt of the .22 rifle and to the anti-tank rifle. It is a flat, iron bar, to which is riveted a semi-circular fitting lined with leather. This part is set at an angle to take the small of the butt of the .22 rifle. An elongated slot is situated in the centre of the iron bar. A E The object of this is to attach the rear bracket to the anti-tank rifle. The plate is a flat, iron bar; it has a hole in the centre, and each end is recessed to permit fitting to the upper tubes of the anti- 24 tank rifle. 25 C AM h p rt n l p th b tt f th .22 r fl t th r l r p rt n f th r r br t. h l p U h p d, l n d th l th r, nd t h t r d t t th n n t .

E OI G Load the .22 rifle. Aim and fire the anti-tank rifle. The shot should hit the selected mark. If it does not, adjust the .22 rifle as previously explained and fire again until the aim of the anti- tank rifle and the shot of the .22 rifle coincide.
E S A A MI IA U E 0 SCA E A GE The following points must be borne in mind when construct- ing the apparatus necessary for a range of this type : (i) On a scale of 1 / 30th, a representative tank target 4.4 in. by 2 in., moving at 1 foot per second at a range of 15 yards, would represent a light tank, size about 111 feet, travelling across the line of the anti-tank rifle at 20 miles per hour at a range of 450 yards. (ii) If the representative target has a run of 11 feet, the time taken to complete the run should be 11 seconds. During this time the anti-tank rifle would, at a range of 15 yards, move through an arc of 14 degrees. (iii) To be able to judge whether the firer is aiming the re- quired amount in front, scoring areas similar to the representative target must be inscribed in front of the actual target. The distance these scoring areas should be in front and in rear (this enables a run in the oppo- site direction) of the actual target is the length of the target less .6 of an inch. This correctly allows for the time of flight of the .22 bullet during its 15 yards of flight. The strawboard on which the target and scoring areas are attached should be 18 in. by 10 in: the target and scoring areas will be 12 in. long.

The uprights are slotted at the top to allow for the laying in of a board 12 feet long. 28 29 h d f th b rd f r r v n h h r nn r tr v l . h l tt r d f h rd d nd h p d t tr v l thl n th r v .
