The Fundamental
National Rifle Association
Rules for Safe Gun Handling Are:
1 - Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
2 - Always keep your finger off the trigger until
ready to shoot.
3 - Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated
areas, cleaning firearms or handling
ammunition may result in exposure to lead
and other substances known to cause birth
defects, reproductive harm and other serious
physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at
all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.

WARNING
Introduction To The T/C 22 LR
Classic Semi-Auto Rifle
Designed as a Hunting/Sporting rifle, the T/C 22 LR Classic semi-automatic is
a 5 shot magazine fed rifle that is relatively simple to understand and safe when
the required ingredients of “common sense” and “safe gun handling” are applied
to its use and care. The T/C 22 LR Classic semi-automatic rifle may operate dif-
ferently than other semi-automatic rifles on the market. It is important that you
identify your rifle as being a T/C 22 LR Classic Semi-Auto Rifle in conjunction
with reading these instructions. They apply to the T/C 22 LR Classic Semi-Auto
Rifle only. Do not assume that a familiarity with other firearms has equipped
you with a knowledge of “safe gun handling” as these words now apply to your
T/C 22 LR Classic Semi-Auto Rifle. Each gun design is different from another
and each functions accordingly.
All machines, be they chain saws, automobiles, lawn mowers or firearms are built
to function as mindless mechanical slaves. They serve only as well as your intel-
lect dictates. Carefully used, your chain saw will cut up a winter’s supply of fire-
wood. Carelessly used, your chain saw will cut other things with able willingness.
A firearm is no different; it is equally non-selective as to target or purpose.
In as much as the responsibility for the use of a firearm rests with its user, you
must understand the mechanics before you can shoulder the responsibility for
its use. That is what this booklet is all about.
YOU MUST READ THIS MATERIAL BEFORE USING THE
THOMPSON/CENTER 22 LR CLASSIC RIFLE.
Empty Chamber Indicator
Your T/C 22 LR Classic rifle was shipped from the factory with a red plastic
Empty Chamber Indicator located in the chamber. The presence of this Empty
Chamber Indicator shows that the chamber of your T/C 22 LR Classic does not
have a 22 LR cartridge present in it. The plastic indicator can only be inserted
into an empty chamber. It is a good idea to have this indicator inserted into the
chamber when the rifle is not in use. We use it here on the assembly line; you
should use it also. If, after purchasing your rifle you notice that this indicator is
not in the chamber of your rifle, stop what you are doing and immediately check
the chamber of your rifle. Keeping the rifle pointed in a safe direction, put the
safety in the rearward “ON” position,
manually pull back on the bolt handle
and visually inspect the chamber. Only
after you have positively ensured that the
chamber is empty, should you proceed
with your familiarization of the rifle. If
you cannot locate the red Empty
Chamber Indicator, call or write the fac-
tory and we will send you one at no
charge.

General Rules for the Safe Use
and Handling of the T/C 22 LR
Classic Semi-Auto Rifle
Follow the rules for use and handling of the T/C 22 LR Classic Semi-Auto
Rifle. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY CAUSE INJURY
AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAM-
AGE TO PROPERTY.
1. If you are unfamiliar with firearms seek professional instructions
.
Qualified organizations such as local gun clubs, the National Rifle Association
and State Hunter Safety programs offer courses which teach safe gun handling
and proper hunting procedures. Those who are unfamiliar with firearms should
seek guidance from an instructor who is qualified by one of these organizations.
2. The T/C 22 LR Classic rifle is shipped from the factory with a red plas-
tic Empty Chamber Indicator inserted into the chamber of each rifle.
This
indicator shows that the chamber does not contain a 22 LR cartridge. If, when
examining your 22 LR Classic rifle, you do not see this Empty Chamber
Indicator, assume the rifle may have a round in the chamber, and immediately
inspect the chamber, making sure that the rifle is pointed in a safe direction, the
manual safety is engaged in the “ON” position, and your finger is off the trigger.
Warning: Treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Failure to heed this warn-
ing may cause injury and/or death to the shooter or bystanders, and dam-
age to property.
3. Always point the muzzle of your rifle down range
. The possibility of acci-
dental discharge is a constant danger when using a firearm. If the muzzle is
pointed downrange, away from yourself, other people, domestic animals or
property, then there can be no injury or damage from an accidental discharge.
4. Never load your T/C 22 LR Classic Semi-Auto Rifle until you are ready
to fire it
. If your rifle is not loaded until you are ready to fire and you are direct-
ing your full concentration to it and the target then there can be no accidental
discharge of the rifle. Never transport or carry a loaded rifle in a vehicle. Never
hand a loaded rifle to another person. Never store a loaded rifle in your home.
Never cross a fence, climb a tree, jump a ditch or engage in any activity which
distracts your attention while holding or carrying a loaded rifle. Never attempt
to clean a loaded rifle.
5. Be physically fit and mentally alert when using your T/C 22 LR Classic
Semi-Auto Rifle
. The use of your rifle involves forceful physical actions which
require strength and concentration. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs
