Responsibility This manual provides instructions on the operation and maintenance of the Barrett model M468 rifle. Read and understand it carefully before you try to use your rifle. Your safety, and that of those around you, depends on your knowledge of your rifle and on your knowledge of safety rules common to all firearms.
