remains in chamber.
Step 2. Open the Rifle.
Place right hand on the pistol grip, fingers away from trigger. Cock the rifle
with the left hand. Press in the heads of the two pins on the left hand side of the
Lower Receiver.
The upper receiver group can now be swung open - exposing internal
mechanisms.

Page 8

the exposed action plate. Withdraw bolt carrier by pulling up and out.
Do not strip Bolt Carrier any further.

C2. Assembling Bolt Carrier Group to Upper Receiver...
Step 1. With the right hand on the pistol grip and the Upper Receiver in the
open position, hold the bolt carrier by the action plate with the thumb and the
two fingers of the left hand.
Lower the bolt carrier into the Upper Receiver with the cam pin head located
in the cam track of the Upper Receiver. Ensure breech bolt enters the slots of the
barrel assembly. Align the three legs of the action plate inside the Upper Receiver.
Assembly is now complete.
Removing the Ignition Pocket is a complex operation.
It is recommended that it be carried out only by a qualified
gunsmith.
THINK
SAFE
Page 9
Step 2. Closing the Rifle
Cock the hammer onto the sear with the left hand. Hold the end of the upper
receiver with the left hand with the thumb pressing on the action plate to keep it
level with the end of the receiver.
Swing the upper receiver down until the action plate is retained by the face of
the lower receiver. Remove thumb and fully close the rifle.
Press in the two headed pins on the right side of the Lower Receiver until the
heads are against the Lower Receiver. Rifle is now closed.
C3. Check Function...
ENSURE RIFLE IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. Push the
safety to FIRE position and pull the trigger. You must hear a click (hammer
hitting the firing pin). Push the safety to SAFE position. Now try to pull the
trigger - it must not move.
Magazine Check...
With the right hand on the pistol grip push in the magazine with the left hand.
Push it upward until a click is heard. Check by pulling down on the magazine. It
should not be able to be removed.
C4. Cleaning...
1. Barrel
Open rifle and remove bolt carrier. Using a standard type cleaning kit, pull the
patch through the barrel using cleaning fluid. Repeat until barrel is clean. Use a
dry patch to clean the dirty fluid from barrel.
Note: Clean the barrel from the chamber towards muzzle.
WARNING!
Do not insert full magazine until the next function
is completed.
THINK
SAFE
After cleaning, make sure barrel is free of obstructions and
excessive lubricant.
THINK
SAFE
Page 10
2. Plastic Parts and Metal Parts
Plastic parts and the upper receiver are cleaned with a soft rag. If necessary,
use water for cleaning. The bolt carrier and ignition pocket are cleaned with a
soft brush.
To increase the life of the rifle and ensure proper functioning, some metal
parts have to be oiled slightly after cleaning. Use only lubricants specially designed
for firearms. Avoid abrasives. Oil outside metal surfaces very lightly. Oil bolt
carrier as follows:
2 drops of oil per guide rod.
2 drops of oil into cam slot.
Clean and inspect rifle periodically to ensure it remains in good condition.
Clean after use, especially if it has been exposed to moisture.

D. LOADING, FIRING AND UNLOADING...
D1. Loading...
Insert a loaded magazine into magazine well. The magazine is home once an
audible click is heard and when pulling downward, the magazine cannot be
removed.
See illustration on next page.
THINK
SAFE
After any cleaning, disassembly or accessory installation,
the rifle should be re-checked for proper functioning
before firing.
THINK
SAFE
Before loading, slide safety to SAFE position.
During loading, never allow fingers or any objects to contact
the trigger. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at
all times.
Inspect the chamber - the rear portion of barrel which
contains the bullet - and bore of the barrel for any obstruc-
tion, excessive oil or grease. Failure to do so may result in gun
damage and, or personal injury when rifle is fired. Do not load
until ready for use. Unload firearm when shooting has been
completed. The safety slide should always be in the SAFE
position whether the firearm is loaded or not.
Page 11
Inserting Magazine...
Cocking...
Place left hand in the space between the carry handle and slide rearward as far
as possible. When the furthermost point of this motion is reached, remove hand
to allow the cocking handle to slide forward. The cocking handle will
automatically return to its previous position to form part of the carry handle.
This cocks the action and makes the gun READY TO FIRE.
NOTE: This action is non-reciprocating. A once-only cocking action is all that
is required. Cocking handle stays in place when firing.
D2. Firing...
To fire the rifle, slide the safety to FIRE position.
Aim at intended target and pull the trigger through its full travel towards you.
Aim rifle only at your intended target.
SAFE GUN HANDLING DEPENDS ON YOU!
THINK
SAFE
Page 12
NOTE: Spent cartridges are ejected from the right of the rifle through the
ejection port. Be sure that all observers are clear of the path of ejection as empty
cartridges are thrown out with considerable force and are very hot.
D3. Loading after Having Fired the Last Round...
After having fired the last round of a magazine, the bolt carrier will be held in
its rear position by the bolt catch. You can now see that you have an empty
magazine and that the chamber is clear.
With the pistol grip in the right hand, select SAFE mode. Remove the magazine
and replace with a fully loaded one. Press the bolt release button. The bolt carrier
will automatically travel forward to the locked bolt position, loading a round into
the chamber.
D4. Unloading...
Move safety slide to SAFE. Locate the magazine release button on the side of
the rifle. Press button, at the same time removing magazine in a downward
motion.
Keep fingers away from trigger when removing the magazine.
Turn rifle over and cock the action several times to see if any live ammunition
is remaining in the chamber.

Should the ammunition fail to fire, keep the rifle pointed in a
safe direction. Slide safety to SAFE position. Do not refire
shell. Slide cocking handle rearwards. The problem round
will be ejected and a new round automatically selected.
THINK
SAFE
Note: The Bushmaster M17S is designed for use
with either a telescopic sight or the rifle's open iron
field sights. A simulated shooter's view of
sighting with the field sights is shown at right. If you
depend on telescopic sights, it may be advisable to
carry a spare scope due to their inherent delicacy.
If a noticeable difference in sound or recoil is experienced,
STOP FIRING! Move safety slide to SAFE. Remove the
magazine from the body and cock the action to remove any
live rounds. Inspect the rifle for damage or obstruction in the
barrel or bore. If you have recurring misfires, have the rifle
inspected by a qualified gunsmith.
